thinking about book 16 of the odyssey
Tumblr media
just... this is so sad. this is when i really understood that Odysseus had missed the first twenty years of his son's life — twenty very important years. in which his son utters his first word and takes his first step. in which he learns how to read and write. in which he makes his first friends and first enemies. in which he is trained to be a good son and a good prince.
in which his son, his only son, has his first everything. and odysseus isn't there for any of it.
okay so everyone i'm crying myself to sleep tonight byeeeee

The Telegony goes against what the Odyssey tells us not only because of Tiresias' Prophecy but also because Odysseus' family line only has one son each.
Zeus made our line a line of only sons. Arcesius had only one son, Laertes, and Laertes had only one son, Odysseus, and I am Odysseus’ only son. He fathered me, he left me behind at home, and from me he got no joy.
(Book 16, Fagles)
Telegonus can't even realistically BE Odysseus' son as he already has Telemachus. The Only son

According to Pausanias, Icarius, Penelope's father, wanted to keep Odysseus to Lakedaimona (Sparta) but Odysseus wanted to return with his new wife, Penelope, to Ithaca. Her father was begging her to stay. Odysseus endured it for some time but then he made Penelope choose whether she wanted to come with him or stay with her father and Penelope instead of replying she covered her face with her veil signaling that she wanted to follow her husband.
And that is now the newest most adorable thing ever!

At the Penelopiad tonight, intermission…
And I was pleasantly surprised by the end of Remember Them (just the “ODYSSEUS!” shout) being used to call said man to Troy’s gates.

This are my Odysseus designs, as you are going to see I don't have a solid design for him, as he is part of two different stories: Odyssey and Epic
Silly Epic Odysseus is inspired by @anniflamma depiction of him

And Odyssey Odysseus :D (@wolfythewitch, @gigizetz and @iroissleepdeprived are the main inspiration), I´m still experimenting and adding some headcanons of mine as well, as trying to flesh out my idea of who he is! :D

i find it so hilarious that in pjo zeus is prickimus maximus but in the odyssey he is literally described as the nicest god

reading the Iliad. kind of sad how Odysseus keeps identifying himself as "Telemachus's father." Like it's always on his mind. his loved ones, his home. he never got to see his son grow up but he's already desperately proud of him.

You all've inspired me to write my first fic and it's gonna be the most horrifying, heart wrenching Odypen ever written. But ☝️. Like sour candy, it gets sweet once you reach the center.
Or you very much may hate me, that remains to be seen.
