Odysseus:with muder and manipulieren ?

I'm getting so many asks telling me Odysseus would hate Jesus but no no you're wrong he would love Jesus. Imagine having a guy on your ship that can tell the storms to sit their ass down. The Odyssey wouldn't odyssey if Jesus was there

Anybody who was ever the 3 wheel with them, deserve financial compensation

This is a wild concept and I don't consider it canon but I want to share as it's definitely a thought that exists (not a good thought but you know).

What if OdyPen's love for each other is another example of hubris for them?

Since OdyPen is "likeminded" and think, act, and are alike, I sometimes think it'd be funny SIMPLY AS A CONCEPT that that's why they fell for each other so hard.

As if being so much alike and their love and devotion is some weird "I am the fucking best" as "no one could compare" which becomes another way of "self-love".

"I love him/her so fucking much." *points to a person who is basically a near-carbon copy of themselves in personality*

What is "canon" to me is that there's simply just nothing like basically sharing everything but a body. Being so in-sync and intuned to one another that it's like sharing a language only they know.

Odysseus: "We can have this here-" Penelope: "Actually over here-" Odysseus: "YES! and then this-" Penelope: "HERE! And then we can do this-" Odysseus: "Adding to that with this-" Penelope: "Which would then fix that other problem as well! Yes, we got it! We'll start that tomorrow!" Planner/Head servant/Messenger/etc.: "...You know...You know that you two have to let people know what you're planning if you want it to get done, right?" Both: "Oh yeah! :D "

It's like watching a tennis match with the ball going back and forth but instead of a ball, it's just...them.

While you can bounce a "ball" against the wall by yourself, it definitely feels "right" when it's your person.

You know what I like about the Odyssey? How much everyone cries. Not like in a mean way, but I love that most everyone cries at one point or another. They are allowed to. I mean, I don’t know about you, but I too would be sobbing if I had been away from home for 20 years. Or if someone I knew had been gone for 20 years. Or if someone mentioned something sad when I’m already stressed. Or literally anything else. I love how they are allowed to be human.

The Text:

Homer:He was a boy She was a girl Can I make it any more obvious? He was a punk She did balletCello What more can I say?

Emo kid! Ody & first cello! Pen

(he is in a band with Dio and she is in the school orchestra)

(he was a punk, she did ballet *singing*)

Me reading the end of the Odyssey:And there lived Happily ever after Person:Actually- Me: THERE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Stanning Odysseus is embracing misery. I cannot keep going through these raw levels of pain.

The effort it takes to live in denial. I'm spent. Nothing outside Homer is real. No, Odysseus never visited Thesprotia. No he didn't marry anyone but Penelope. No he didn't father epigonoi. No he wasn't killed neither by Telegonus nor a stingray. No he wasn't exiled to Italy by Neoptolemus. NO HE'S NOT ON THE F* MOON WDYM

you ever thinking about Helene of Sparta hearing the plow story ?

Odysseus about talking to his wife after 20 years:Finally a conversion with somebody that's not an Idiot

I don`t kow why but this

is giving me Odysseus and Penelope

here is some Penelope and eurycleia judging the suitors art nobody ask for
