when the first thing your long lost husband does with his son is brutally murder over 100 people
it’s gonna take a while to clean up

Still don’t have a solid Penelope design
Ajax: You win, you always win. But you don’t play fair!
Odysseus: That’s why I always win.
Epic the Musical fans, I'm gripping you by the shoulders to tell you that Penelope has a sister who she is very very close with in the Odyssey who was named Iphitimene.
Not only a sister, but in each myth she is in, she has a lot of brothers. At least around 4 or 5.
The Potential for Eldest daughter Pen, Middle child Pen, and/or baby sister Pen is ENDLESS!!!
She is also half-naiad at the very least (in most myths) with her mother being a river nymph named Periboea. She can even be 3/4th naiad if you go with the myth of her father, Icarius, being the son of Bateia, another naiad.
Sing, Muse, of these millennia-old characters from ancient epics who we ship and write fanfiction of.
Diomedes: That's Odysseus, cleverest of the greeks. He's probably concocting a wicked plan right now.
Odysseus: Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Penelope Pen-
you know Odysseus could have Pulled out off the war, if a bit early he just you know pulled out

Tecmessa, Her Son, and Teucer Lamenting the Dead Ajax (1809). Etching by Carl Russ
Odysseus in Book 2 of the Iliad be like:

Telemachus: “You people have issues…”
Neoptolemus:”Well of course I have issues-!”
Neoptolemus pointing at Achilles: “THAT’S MY FREAKING FATHER!!”

Poster if the Bacchae was a film (a horror one)

Inspired by Mr. Rivera-Herrans’ latest Instagram post lmfao
I have so many wips and ofc, I now want to write the first time Athena talks to lil Penelope.
11-12 year old Penelope: "I know you've been watching me."
Athena: "Oh really?"
Penelope: "Well, at least I'm pretty sure. Ever since I did [something I'll come up with later]"
Athena, amused: "Oh? And how do you know that? Maybe I've only know you until right now."
Penelope: "Owls don't hoot midday, My Lady. They also don't do it every time I do certain things."
Athena: "Ah... You are observant, my dear."
Nausicaa: How old is your dad?
Telemachus: Too old for you AND he's married.
Nausicaa:
Telemachus: Stay away from my father, guys. STAY AWAY FROM MY FATHER—
Epic the thunder saga? More like epic thunder thighs you got Odysseus ;)
I'm honestly so thankful to historians and researchers are a thing because it kinda upsets me that so much shit has been lost or destroyed, this comes in terms of history, culture, mythology etc etc, like what do you mean Odysseus has a sister and there's barely anything about her besides being married to Eurylochus
