Custom LEGO Minifigure of the Week - Achilles & the Myrmidons by The Brick Emperor
Posted by Merrie on 22nd May 2018
School is winding down, but that doesn't mean the learning has to stop! Thanks to @the_brick_emperor from Instagram, we have a brief history lesson on ancient Greek mythology. Achilles was the central warrior of Homer's Iliad and the Myrmidons were a colony of ants created by Zeus. The etymology of "Myrmidons" is myrmes, the Greek word for ant. Sounds intimidating, huh? Well, they really were! The best part about these characters is the custom paint job. To create a similar scene, check out BrickWarriors' Custom LEGO Spartan Accessories, the Muscled Cuirass, the Xiphos, and the Pilum. Thanks for the great minifigures @the_brick_emperor!
