mark_asphodel I'm still in screw-off mode.
"Paris, you pretty boy, you woman seducer. Why were you ever born?"
This, one of my favorite quotes in E.V. Rieu's prose translation of the Iliad, is Hector's lament over the wayward and aggravating nature of his brother, Paris.
The Trojan Hector and Paris are amusing to me because, links to Sir Ector notwithstanding, FE7's Hector is named, well, Hector. And Ike's original name was supposed to be Paris. And, given that Ike was modeled on Hector, that makes him, in a sense, FE7!Hector's little brother.
And since girl-crazyParis Ike doesn't work for me, I'm now imagining Soren as Helen of Troy.
Yes, you can hit me now.
