Yes. Dear god yes.

Hades, upon receiving 108 dead suitors to his realm: "I knew I should have set the Erinyes on him."
Hades, upon finding out how they broke hospitality: "Persephone would want me to send a basket of pomegranates."
Hades, upon hearing Poseidon got humbled by Odysseus: "Make that a very large basket."

Congratulations on this Lizzy, you wholeheartedly deserve this.

I've always found it fascinating that Odysseus' bow was a recurve because it embodies everything about Odysseus. Its a war bow, with a heavier draw than other bows. It requires lateral thinking on how to string. And it's something no other Greek had seen.

Strength, wisdom and worldliness. Odysseus.
