mythology exists to rationalize the material conditions of our lives, such as weak heels

I thought she did dunk her hand in, she was just holding him by the ankle so her hand covered that bit of skin

Wouldn’t it be by both ankles though since we got two heels? Better question yet is why not just alternate holding heels while you dunk the baby in the bathwater?

Should’ve put him in a deep fryer basket and gently swirled him around in the water

Then put him in one of those spinny salad bowl water removers to tumble dry Achilles.

I remember something about water fucking with your memory, so she didn’t want to touch water.

Great joke (especially if unintended). If anyone cares the river of memory is Lethe

Shouldn’t’ve drunk from it.

Also, I think it’s Lethe.

IIRC, all of the rivers of the underworld fucked up memory, although in different ways.

Lethe took away memory for it was the river of forgetfullness, Styx was the river of hatred that bound the gods by oath, Archaron was the river of pain or woe, Phlegethon was the river of fire, and Cocytus was the river of wailing.

Oh fair enough, I am speaking from the great experience of reading a single book about greek myths and percy jackson when I was younger, so I’m not the biggest authority

Also, if the issue was Achilleas floating away, what’s the problem, he is invincible, he’s just gonna get out of the river on his own after some time, just leave him lol

Come to think of it, there’s the whole problem of the Styx ending up in the underworld so…

Either way she did a shit job.

If she let go he would have died, iirc. If you dont get pulled out you become lost to the river forever

Either way, contrary to popular belief it isn’t “canon”, in Homer he isn’t even generally invincible.

He can still drown. He’s basically Bruce Willis in Unbreakable.
