The mythic creatures in the epos the "Iliad (1)and Odyssey"
The tale "Iliad and Odyssey" is one of the first novels in history. And there are many things, which makes it a very good target for parodies, and also there are many more or less seriously written versions about that tale, what is the national epos of Greece.
In some versions, the Achilles and Paris were humanoid spaceships, and the magic arrows were homing missiles. And that thing, of course, means that ancient Greek gods and goddesses were aliens. So don't read this kind of text so seriously. And here I used the freedom of the artist to make this text, and I hope that doesn't hurt somebody.
1 Achilles(2), the Hero who died because of the heel, where Paris shot the poisonous arrow.
There are many interesting creatures in ancient Greek mythology, and one of them is nymphs, children of gods and goddesses and humans(3). Or actually, nymphs were spirits that lived in certain places like in water, woods and everywhere. There are many forms of that mythic creature, and some of them is that those creatures were some kind of echoes of the real gods and goddesses.
And when we are thinking about the Greek hero number one Achilles, that creature is the nymph himself, but what Achilles would be if we are translating the term "nymph" to modern language. The thing is that Achilles would be the Humanoid-Human hybrid. And the thing, where that hero was dropped, and what made invincible could be some kind of training center, where that creature learned the combat skills. Or did some of those goddesses of ancient aliens stored the EEG of that hero, who is one of the most mythic things in history?
2) Paris, Troyan greatest fighter
So Paris(4) was the man, who shot the poisonous arrow in the heel of Achilles. The thing, what made that person interesting is that the city of Paris has been named after that creature. The thing is that Greeks and at least Homer understood that creature because he had a tough childhood.
The death of Paris caused the poisonous arrow, what was shot by Philoctetes (5), that hero got the bow and magic arrows for destroying Troy, and the story is that the king Odyssey left that man to the island, after the snake bite him.
Then after ten years that king took Philotectes with him, to shoot those magic arrows. In some ideas, those arrows were some kind of missiles or they had some power like the uranium mineral, and they should shoot to a certain point, that they have the effect, what made them deadly systems, but here we are talking about mythology. Sometimes there is introduced more or less serious theories that the poison arrow, what Paris used was the homing ammunition, what was targeted to the heel of Achilles.
3) What was Iliad? (1 B)
When Homer wrote the stories of the Iliad and Odyssey, we must ask one really interesting question, were those "Iliad" and "Odyssey" the people, who told those stories to Homer? Was Homer the person, who interviewed some people, when he started to write that famous epos? So the source of the texts would be Iliad?
When we are thinking about this epos in the point of view of patriotic attitude there is something, that has almost ever noticed. The hero Achilles was the only person, who used the bath, which made that creature non-vulnerable. But then Paris shot a deadly arrow to the heel of that man. So the thing is that the tale that Paris was the Troyan hero, is remarkable. But when we are seeing the name of that thing, we must say, that Paris means also a Greek name. So was Homer mentioned to write something else than the text, what he wrote, and what was the original plan, what made for his greatest work? This is the thing, what remains in history.
