I dont know if you've seen/read it already but the roman poet Ovid wrote "The Heroids", which is a bunch of letters lovers from the mythology wrote for the other. The very first letter is from Penelope to Ulysses/Odysseus on how she misses her husband after the war endend and there are some banger lines there

The other letters are also cool

OUHHHHH THAT SOUNDS COOL

I am sad about them I might check that out

#I read a fic once where Odysseus was like missing home and stuff and he was thinking about what could have been and all that and lamenting #about how they only had one son how Penelope deserved to have more children to have a big family like she did back at Sparta and I'm ousgsj #And like how Sparta is this huge nation and Penelope had her cousins and her sisters and uncles and father and he took her away from that #and she deserved to have a Sparta of her own and he failed to give her that and hhhhhddhdhdjd #wolfy tedtalks #anon
