My favorite scenes from The Odyssey (books 18 to 21)

Odysseus fighting a random beggar being its own book was not something I expected to enjoy this much when reading The Odyssey, but here we are.

Tom already has that princely aura. I don't know how to explain it, but he was definitely made for that role...

Penelope of Ithaca holding her newborn son for the first time, feeling as though the whole world is in her arms. Penelope, Queen of Ithaca, so full of love for her little family that she could swear it was seeping through her skin. Penelope, loving mother of dear Telemachus, promising that she would always be a safe haven for him. That even as he grew into a man, he could always return to her.

Penelope of Ithaca holding her child close as she stares after the ships leaving, half her soul going with them while the other half has cried himself to sleep in her arms. The Queen of Ithaca turning down wet nurses and nannies, somewhere between pleading and commanding. Her boy. Her son. His son. The most tangible part of him that she has left, still too small to hold his head up on his own. Penelope’s arms memorizing the feel of her baby’s weight, his cheek against her heart as she cradles him there. Penelope running her fingers through the first wispy sign of curls on her baby’s head while Euryclea intercedes. She cannot rear a child and keep her husband’s house at the same time. Penelope disagrees but reluctantly places her son in the hands of one of the few people she knows she can trust.

The wise Queen of Ithaca trying to reckon with herself. She knew— she knew— that stories would not sustain him for long. A boy needs a father. Her boy needed his father. Perhaps she should have been more present, she scolds herself as part of her heart storms off. As one decade stretched closer to two, as the boy who would stand with her to watch the horizon for ships grew into a man who had all but lost hope. He looked so much like his father. He looked so much like him that it hurt. Perhaps she had been so consumed by missing her husband that her son had felt… neglected, lonely, lost. Had she not given her word that he would be safe from such things?

Eyes that used to light up at the mention of his father grew dim. As though shutters were being boarded up to shield against disappointment and the familiar ache of longing. The familiar chasm where the rest of their family should be. Strangers invade their halls— her halls—, and they gawk, and they leer, and they say such terrible things. Enduring Penelope watched her beloved son. She watched as he also could only endure and she wondered, sometimes, if he hated her. She thought he might despise her for holding out, for being so stubborn, for letting horrid people take over their home. And then he would come to her. He would find her and he would fall into arms she held open only for him. Her arms remember the feeling of holding her baby, and though he had long since passed infancy, it was not all that different. Not in any of the ways that mattered. When she held her son again, she thought he could hate her all he liked. She would love him still.

Penelope of Ithaca, who waited and waited. She waited for Odysseus. She waited for the war to end and waited for news from Troy and waited for her husband to return. She waited for her suitors to face whatever the gods or the Fates deemed just. She waited, and she waited. Telemachus may hate her for it, or he may not. He would come around. He would see the point of it all in the same way she could, eventually. She had already waited for so much. She could wait for him too.

Somebody tell me, someone give me a sign. If I fight those monsters, is it you I’ll find? // EPIC: The Wisdom Saga

.

.

I haven’t drawn EPIC’s character design of Telemachus yet, so here we go!

[epicthemusicalstuff]

is there any songs related to the Telemachy for Epic?

The songs closest to the Telemachy are Legendary, Little Wolf, and We’ll Be Fine, as these songs center around Telemachus back on Ithaca, but they don’t cover the whole of the Telemachy. For example we don’t get to see Telemachus go and visit Nestor, Peisistratus, Menelaus, or Helen. In addition, although Athena helps him, she doesn’t appear in her Mentor disguise. Those songs are definitely inspired by the Telemachy though!

So... I have this weird ass scene I can see in some kind of Trojan war ahh banquet reunion and the adults are like knocked out by Trojans that somehow survived and now the 2nd gen (but none of them have beef just complications) is trying to figure something out but idk how to start this story- the scene I'm invisioning is:

- - -

Polycaste, Hermione, Peisitratus, Nausicaa, Neoptolemus, Telemachus and Orestes ran to the most secluded and hidden side of the Ithacan palace. Which apparently is Telemachus's room.

"Don't mind the paintings- don't touch them please" The son of Odysseus says as he silently closes the door and locks it "it's unfinished, what now?"

"We gotta help them!" Menelaus's daughter says, pacing around the room "but how? And why is your room in the furthest part of the palace?"

"Nevermind the allocations. We need a plan. And fast." Peisitratus looks at telemachus

".. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"This is your house!"

"Ugh... Follow me"

AND THAT'S ALL I COULD ENVISION

[deadbaguette]

Just found out the line in the draft of ‘we’ll be fine ‘

“Cuz’ I got in a fight and sailed to an island! When I’ve never left home shores”

Was never about the Telemachy and I think my heart just shattered into a million pieces

[serashii]

Anxious 20 y.o. w/ daddy issues goes on a journey with his best friend(🤨?) to meet king Menelaus of Sparta

A bit I love is when Tele gets shy in front of Menelaus and Peisi takes over and does the talking lol. that's so me. He's just like me fr!

[kinsagi]

Guys I think my telestratus looks different

Actual telestratus under the cut

[ejthepuca]

Some silly suitors designs (+Telemachus)

[nandysparadox]

in my mind the diplomatic mission was basically just the telemachy and peisistratus does exist in epic and hes telemachus' boyfriend. just a glimpse into my beautiful world.
