why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees
I like to think that it was really hard for Telemachus to consider Odysseus as his father despite all of the years he's been titling him as one. It's easier to trust that someone gone will come back, than to actually believe and envelope the fact that they're here.
Hey EPIC fandom, AU where Odysseus does take Astyanax with him, and when they cross paths with the sirens, someone has to hold this little toddler away from the boat's edge as he keeps repeating "mama" and reaching for a siren pretending to be Andromaque.

Luke Skywalker: I’m saying that “I’m going to be friends with you” is both a promise and a threat.
