love is war

[mythsock]

Helen & Paris.

Some say a host of horsemen, others of infantry and others
of ships, is the most beautiful thing on the dark earth
but I say, it is what you love
Full easy it is to make this understood of one and all: for
she that far surpassed all mortals in beauty, Helen her
most noble husband
Deserted, and went sailing to Troy, with never a thought for
her daughter and dear parents.

This meme is inspired by Paris and Helen and the love that sparked a war. Please be as literal or as loose with your interpretations as you'd like.

PROMPTS

• Paris: You made a reckless and possibly ill founded decision to steal the one you love because love will always find a way.


• Helen: You ditched your ex(?) to be with the one you love. You may or may not end up regretting this.


• Hector: Someone close to you made a mistake of the romantic kind and now you're stuck cleaning up after them.


• Agamemnon: Your ex(?) ran off with someone else and you're gonna get them back, one way or another.


• Odysseus: You really want to go home but for some reason or another you're obligated to stick around until all of this is settled.


• Aphrodite or some other Greek God: You're enabling someone in this entire mess, but from a distant standpoint in which you won't have to deal with any of the consequences, probably.
