The Brutalist (2026)
>>216932914dropped so hard
>>216932914This is supposed to fit how many people in it?
>>216932971About tree fiddy.
>>216932914Times you acted like the pope's brutalist
>>21693297110 white men or 99 indians
>>216932914yeah flop confirmed
>>216932971It only needs to hold enough people to open the city gates so the Achaeans can pour in and attack
>>216933906Pictured: Odysseus exiting the horse.
>>216932971They're greeks, you just plug and play them one to another.
>>216932914How did they make this? I mean the soldiers?
>>216932914So basically, zoomie do not know what brutalism is so they rely on chudtuber #44566 to tell them brutalism is commie shit and then they call everything they don't like brutalism?
>>216937087Try that again but this time be less mad about hitting 30
>>216937158Try that again without showing you are an ignorant mutt
>>216936924By carving it? Do you think there wouldn't be people with expertise? They had to make any catapults/siegeworks on site.
>>216932971Aeneid>The Danaän command, now shattered by warfare,>Beaten aside by the fates, seeing years slither on into more years,>Crafted a horse, thanks to Pallas’ divine skill, high as a mountain,>Built on a framework of ribbing with interlocked sections of pitch pine...>Inside its flanks, unseeing, unseen, they secretly sealed up>Bodies of men they’d selected—for lots had been drawn. And they loaded>Deep in its vast hollow spaces, its womb, quite an army of soldiers...Aeneas goes on to describe the priest Laocoon throwing a spear into the horse which causes it to ring hollow and by fortune doesn't kill or injure any Greek it harbored, further it is made of maple>The horse built with planking of interlocked maple stood complete.Named persons inside:>Once opened, the horse starts restoringSoldiers to fresh air. They spring from the hardwood caverns delighted:>Captain Thersander and Sthenelus too, and ruthless Ulysses,>Shimmying down a suspended rope; there was Acamas, Thoas,>Peleus’ grandson too, Neoptolemus; first was Machaon,>Then Menelaus and then this ruse’s designer: Epeus.>In they march, on a city embalmed in a wine-sodden slumber.When I read the Aeneid I found this hilarious, where Aeneas says some Greeks ran back inside the horse in the face of Trojan counterattack. It also demonstrates that all the named men in the previous passage wasn't comprehensive:>Some scatter back to the ships, racing off for the shorelines they can trust.>One group, shameless in fear, climbs back once more up the ladders>Into the monstrous horse, nestles deep in the womb they remember.
>>216932971>>216937557The number was variable. Quintus Smyrnaeus names 30 and says there were more (The Posthomerica 12.314-335). Manuscripts of Apollodorus' Bibliotheka say 3000, which is ridiculous and is normally corrected to 13 (the Greek numerals for the two look very similar), and that might only mean the 13 main heroes in the horse, with more besides. Tzetzes says 23, which might have some connection to Apollodorus' count of 13, because we know Tzetzes read Apollodorus (Tzetzes' Posthomerica 641-650).Basically, a few dozen men, just enough to kill the Trojan guards at the city gate and open it for the main army, who were sailing back from their hiding spot on an island.
>>216937557Gotta love Virgil's pro-Trojan revisionism. He also has a part where Aeneas goes out of the city to protect the refugees but returns to fight the Greeks, and has Aeneas say that that started the rumour he fled the city before it was sacked. It's a funny comment on the different versions that were going around, in one Aeneas runs away when the horse is brought in, another said he stayed in the city and was captured by Achilles' son, and a third said he left during the battle carrying his father on his back.
>>216936924The usual version is that the whole army cut down trees from a nearby forest and all worked on it under the direction of Epeius, who was a master craftsman, and in some versions they were inspired by Athena.
>>216932914None of this ever happened. If it did The Holy Bible woulda mentioned it.
Amazing how they managed to make that in a single night with just wood from their ships
>>216938354Who says it took a single night? And it's mythology anyway, it's about heroes doing impossible things.
>>216937859The Odyssey and Aeneid both assert the horse contained more men than what would be sufficient to just slay the sentries and open the gates for the rest of the army. >For Troy was fated to perish once the city lodged >inside her walls the monstrous wooden horse >where the prime of Argive power lay in wait >with death and slaughter bearing down on Troy.Demodocus also recounts that men from the horse set about to immediately plunder Troy and that Odysseus and Menelaus made straightway for the house of Deiphobus.Menelaus also says to Telemachus "in the wooden horse where all our best encamped, our champions armed with bloody death for Troy..."
>>216938990Yeah it included the best fighters and they do start killing Trojans, but the rest of the Greeks sail back and enter immediately, so I don't think it implies a whole army inside the horse.
