Anticlea - Tumblr Posts
Y’all are gonna hate me for this but if I have to know it so do you.
So I did a bit of digging and it turns out that, depending on the version, Anticlea actually died during/right after Keep Your Friends Close. When the winds swept Odysseus and the crew away that’s when she died of a broken heart.
And also, one of Hermes’s duties is actually guiding the souls of the dead to the Underworld. So either during Ruthlessness or at some point in the Circe Saga outside of Wouldn’t You Like he had to guide his own granddaughter down to the Underworld and couldn’t (or wouldn’t) tell Odysseus
This is an idea of composition made up of Ody's bow and the flowers that show up in the Odyssey : i was going to mainly use Anticlea elegans, Galanthus nivalis(moly) and Olea europea (olive). ( Anticlea, Circe and Penelope, they were the ones that helped him ) , the idea was that of a bow with sprouting plants, a big olive surronded of Anticlea and Moly closer to the viewer; but the middle was going to ended up bare and it reminded of a pond so I added Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera).
This is the scketch i came up with:D and the final drawing it's bound to change from this.
The references are from Pinterest/Google
I May use the idea before this but made it with perspective from the bottom to the top, with a huge olive tree in the middle flanked by Anticleas and Molly closer
It's getting tough and I think the first picture captures best the felling of what i try to do, what do you think?
I can see Anticlea saying to Penelope: no doubt is his father's son, look at him, the same expressions . Hope they stayed like this forever. T T
This is beautiful!
odysseus and polites would make the cutest puppy dog eyes prove me wrong

The fact that Odysseus' mother was voiced by Jorge's mother haunts me.
The emotion in his voice. The "bye mom".

This is a really good exploration of Odysseus psyche. and T T
Please stop torturing yourself TT
"All i hear are screams" Because that's what he wants to hear. He's fine with people blaming him and yelling at him. He doesn't want to hear Polites gently singing his motto. He doesn't want to hear his mom's soft voice saying how much she loves him.
He wants to be hated and punished, he doesn't want to hear that they believed in him until the end.
So all he chooses to hear are screams
