So, watching Xena 1x06 (I know, shut up), and this jewel of a conversation comes out. It was more or less...
Ah phooey, my suspension of disbelief went down the drain.
Because you know, Ares? I really, really, really, really don't think it's a good idea to put Hector in the same army as those two. You should know, you were there, for fuck's sake!
It's amazing how even when they make him lots cooler and smarter than he really was in myths, he's still as a brick. Fail, Ares.
(yeah, I've been quite lazy, but I do plan to retake my Iliad summaries)
ETA: Wait a minute, how the hell can he bring back people from the dead?! That's not a part of his domains. Doesn't uncle Hades have something to say to this? What is Ares going to tell him, "I need this favor, because I have to bang this really hawt woman, so pleaaaaase"?
Xena: I'm going to need a new army.
Ares: Whoever you want. The most legendary warriors in history, even.
Xena: Hector? Achilles? Agamemnon? They're long gone...
Ares: I'm the god of war, bb. I'd ttly bring them back for you.
