It’s not even 24 hours yet since I posted it, and it already had 134 LIKES?! 24 REBLOGS?!

Thank you so much to everyone who supported this post, or really any of my posts! This is the most I’ve ever gotten on any post, and in not even 24 hours no less! Thank you all so much, I really appreciate it, havre a wonderful day and, uh, bye!

Listening to Love in Paradise on repeat, you cannot tell me this man has not tried to escape multiple times. Just listen to how he sings (first meeting), it just screams, "How can I get out of this, how do I get out of this, what can I do to get out of this, GIMME MY WIFE-"

Like, the idea popped into my head that he would've probably tried to built a boat/raft and an oar or two to escape and Calypso was just amused by his attempts since she was just gonna snach him up again. Yes, she'd be a bit hurt, but she'd admire his attempts for trying.

(After another failed attempt to take a raft off the Island, Calypso walks him back to the cabin.) Odysseus: (murmuring) I was so close... Calypso: Yeah, good job! You managed to finish the raft and oar this time and got a good amount of distance off shore! (it was really only a couple yards) That's pretty impressive! Odysseus: (eyes narrowed) Not good enough it seems... Calypso: (blinks a few times before responding) As much as I admire your efforts, you should just relax in my paradise! We have forever after all! Why don't you just rest inside my paradise? Odysseus who frowns softly and looks sad and slightly defeated because he just wants to go to his wife and son-

But you already know he's trying again eventually.

(Until he gives up and tries to commit suicide 7 years later-)

And of course I finish writing this after almost crying a few times at the ending of the song-

Over 200 notes! Thank you so much!

IKR!!!!!

I love this fandom so much! 🤣

WHAAAT?!

OOMMFFFGGGG

I JUST

I JUST SAW SOMEONE IN PINTEREST SAYING

That the danger motiv NEVER plays during "Scylla", because Odysseus was NEVER in danger at that moment. AND HE KNEW IT TOO. SCYLLA WASN'T GONNA GO AFTER HIM AND HE KNEW ITNEJWKJSJSJSK

I'm officially helpless. Something that has been in my mind for the past few days now is if Antinous made his own version of "Peaches" (from the mario movie) for Penelope. If you would, could someone PLEASE make an animatic of this?!

(Why does that kinda feel like a princess and the frog reference-)

I. Am. So. Damn. Ecstatic for it.

so much love for characters who are desperately unsure whether they’re a good person, a redeemable person, a person worth saving, but are absolutely certain that they’re a grade a hottie

"We are the same you and I"

Monsters hehe :33

Imagine the emotional rollercoaster Ctimene, Odysseus' sister and Eurylochus' wife, went through during EPIC.

Through all the Trojan War, she fears for both her brothers' and her husband's life. She sits there with her mother Anticlea, and her sister-in-law, Penelope, watching her nephew Telemachus grow up. We can only imagine how she misses him. Maybe she wants to start her own family. Maybe there are suitors after her, too.

They hear that the war is over, and their boys take their sweet time coming back. They finally see the ships on the horizon, only to watch a gigantic storm absolutely demolish the ships.

They have pieces of the ships wash up on shore. Some bodies, too. Fishermen sail out, looking for survivors and finding none. The bodies they find get buried, their families mourn them. And everyone else just sits there, having seen the extent of the storm, the bodies, and come to the conclusion that their loved ones are lost to the sea.

Ctimene sits there with the realization that her husband and her brother are dead. Her mother dies. She lost her entire family. Penelope is convinced Odysseus survived somehow, so Ctimene is pretty much alone in her grief.

Years pass. I imagine Ctimene and Penelope help each other with suitors, raising Telemachus and just ruling Ithaca, but there is always this divide between them.

And then the impossible actually happens. Odysseus is back. He kills Penelopes suitors. He is reunited with his family. Ctimene hears, comes running, her brother has returned. And with him the hope returns that her husband might still be alive.

So she asks him. And Odysseus says no.

And then he starts telling the story. Of Eurylochus, the voice of reason. That he survived the storm, survived Poseidon, resisted Circe, survived the underworld, survived the Sirens. That he survived Scylla.

Ctimene listens to his reasonings for the sacrifices and then chews him out just as Eurylochus had.

Then Odysseus tells her about the Mutiny. And then Zeus.

Neither Penelope nor Telemachus are in the room when he explains what choice Zeus had him make. And while Ctimene rationally knows that she couldn't have chosen between her brother and her husband, she also knows that for his chance to see his loved ones again, 36 families lost that chance. Including her.

Odysseus doesn't explain in detail what happened on Ogygia nor afterwards, and Ctimene only mildly cares. Because her husband died. Because of a decision her brother made. Because her husband tried to protect his fellow crew.

She doesn't talk to Odysseus for a while after that.

Do you guys think Eurylochus was incredibly faithful to Ctimene as well because Odysseus would have figured out a way to make him suffer endlessly for breaking his sisters heart?

GUYS

I WAS DRAWING ODYSSEUS AND WAS CHANGING HIS EYE DIRECTIONS

🤣🤣🤣

How I imagine Odysseus acted with the sirens 😅

It looks like trash right now lol

I'm thinking about making a AU....

It's about Hemres going undercover as a human to spend time/protect Odysseus before he's old enough to meet Athena

This is the post that made me want to draw Hermes!

I love their art style :D
