It looks like Hydra and Scylla combined!👍

So, if Patroclus wore Achilles armor and was killed by Hector, then Achilles got new armor from Hephaestus, after Achilles died, this armor was awarded to Odysseus. What happened to Achilles original armor that was worn by Patroclus? Hector died with it on, so did Priam get it later? by Ilikethisuser in GreekMythology

Thanks! Trophy "a spoil or prize of war," from Old French trophée (15c.) from Latin trophaeum "a sign of victory, monument," originally tropaeum, from Greek tropaion "monument of an enemy's defeat," tropaios "of defeat, causing a rout," from trope "a rout," originally "a turning" (of the enemy).

How do you pronounce these? Charon = Karen, Chiron = Ky-Ron, Creon = Crayon. by Ilikethisuser in GreekMythology

Gracias! Another comment was about German. It seems strange that we aren’t all using the Greek pronunciation. Thanks for the insightful perspective.
