Modern Iliad

So. This is inspired by the Trojan War, but in our time. The characters all go to high school. The gods are just the oldest kids. Eris decided to cause some drama because she wasn't invited to a party, so she bought an iPhone and left it in the school cafeteria with the note "to the prettiest girl here". Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, the most popular girls in the school, start fighting over it, both the phone and who is the prettiest. Zeus, who was terrified of all of them, sent them to Paris and that's how it all started. Athena promised to help him study and earn straight As in everything, Hera to make him the class president and Aphrodite to get him a girlfriend. Helen, who was already taken by Menelaus. Helen, confused about her feelings, agreed to settle this with a football tournament . You can be whoever you want, your own character or an already existing one. Some information about this AU. Paris's team is just his brothers. Cassandra is sure they are gonna lose, although they are very good, but as always nobody listens. Achilles is a popular athlete, quite wealthy, his parents are well-known, but everyone knows he's a mummy's boy. Thetis is extremely overprotective of him, which has started to annoy him really much. He was always a bit...wild. Patroclus is Achilles's "best friend". In fact, his boyfriend, but they are both still in the closet, they've only admitted it to each other. He is more quiet than Achilles, more compassionate. Odysseus is the brain of the team. He didn't even want to participate, Penelope had just given birth to their son and he wouldn't have enough time for them, with school and everything, but they convinced him. Agamemnon is Menelaus's older brother, the leader of the team (he fought over this with Achilles more than once), and the one who organised the whole thing. A bit bossy, prideful, has a temper. Do whatever you want with the others, make your own stuff.The woman in the image is Penelope
