[hella1975]

don't you think it's funny that andrew had so much shit happen to him that being abandoned at birth is just like. not. a big deal? like not even in the top five

u get it

HONESTLY like if you alone said to me 'his mum had addiction issues and was generally unstable so she abandoned ONLY ONE twin at birth and kept the other leaving their relationship strained when the brothers ultimately found each other years down the line' id be like shit that is an incredibly compelling way to start a character's backstory and leaves so much potential for conflict and angst. but no. no apparently one single 5ft high school athlete needed to suffer more than jesus

Heart of Stone

Jessica Parker Kennedy!Medusa X Blind!wife!reader

Summary: Humans after creatures were petrified by her blinding eye, but it seems like Medusa's heart of stone was fixed by a certain someone she calls a wife.

Warning: Flashbacks of Rape and Death of child (I think that's all)

Author's note: Percy Jackson this, Luke Castellan that. I'll take medusa.

——

"You think I'll hold a grudge on you just because you are a daughter of Athena?" Medusa said sweetly as she stared at Annabeth through her veiled hat whilst pouring freshly made lemonade into one of the cups.

Annabeth kept a neutral expression, carefully watching Medusa's movements whilst keeping an eye on grover, who munched happily on one of the snacks.

Medusa watched grover with a smile, barely glancing at percy.

"You like them?" She asked Grover, The Satyr nodded enthusiastically.

"My wife made them." All of the eyes were now on medusa's.

The trio shared a confused glance, Percy and Grover threw Annabeth a 'What the actual hell did she say?' and Annabeth threw back a much confused glance, saying 'I dont know either'

Percy was the first one to break the silence, His head still low as he played with the strawberry cheesecake on his plate with a silver fork.

"Er..Wife? you said...isn't that impossible since you're.. You know..." Medusa chuckled wholeheartedly, Annabeth just rolled her eyes and nudged Grover.

"She's blind.. The gods also punished her a long time ago.." After that statement, the trio immediately turned their heads, curiously sitting down and patiently waiting for a story.

"She was once a beautiful nymph that served Circe... Goddess of Aiaia. She was beautiful, then...Hermes.. The messenger God fell in love with her whilst he was still in a relationship with Circe, She rejected him multiple times, but in desperation he—" Medusa Inhaled sharply, Her fist curling up into a ball in anger, she was hesitating to continue the story.

"He asked Aphrodite to make him a draught so she can sleep with him..and it worked, When Circe found out she was so outraged and jealous that she poured every potion she had into her eyes..Her once beautiful green eyes, and cursed her saying 'You shall never see the light of day, Again' " The story finished, Annabeth, Percy and Grover went silent, Medusa however looked at the demigods, watching for any signs of mercy or pity in their eyes.

Then, the silence was interrupted by someone, behind the door.

"Emmy? I think the food you're making is burnt— I smell brownies— Oh! please tell me you're making them!" You. She were gorgeous, with waist length red hair and pale skin, a line of dark freckles trailing down your breasts and arms. you was wearing a floral dress beautifully. you almost looked like a goddess. If it wasn't for your grey eyes, that was once green that made you less perfect.

Medusa's expressions changed neutrally to cheerful. The trio noticed a pair of ring Medusa and Her wife had.

The blind woman, who was Medusa's wife, had a snake ring on her finger, while medusa had a simple gold ring with an emerald stone.

"We have visitors?" You asked, As Medusa walked towards you and looped her arms with yours.

"They're demigods, Dear" Medusa whispered to your ear, making you frown a little.

"I'll go back to the kitchen. You can handle them, yes?" Medusa nodded, and you a kiss on your cheeks before watching her wife go.

——

It wasn't that long when you heard screams and running footsteps, It was definitely the demigods.

Years after years, you lived with Medusa, The bravest warriors to the most cowardly men had stepped inside your home, and none escaped. Not with her deadly eyes.

But you knew those demigods don't stood a chance.

You stared at the blowing kettle, feeling the heat wash over you as sweat trickled down your neck.

And why should you and medusa hide your capabilities and powers when you two are far more superior?

You remembered it all too well.

Hermes drugged you and forced you into his bed, shamelessly raping you all over again until he's content, Circe in fury punishing you. You begged and explained, You really did...But she never listened.

Circe, Banishing you out of Aiaia... You being pregnant. You giving birth near a cave.. Your baby boy dying... Medusa finding you...

Life was hard.. The Gods gave no mercy and pity. But here you are. Still standing with the woman who saved you.

You heard footsteps coming upstairs. You smiled thinking that your trap might work.

"Do you find everything pleasant?" You whispered sweetly.

there was no response.

But then, someone grabbed you by your long hair and slashed your neck.

Medusa ran as fast as she could when she heard screams, But her heeled sandals failed her.

You were now lying on the ground, blood spurting out of your neck as you tried to gasp for air. Tears poured down your cheeks as you tried to say Medusa's name.

Medusa screamed. A blood curling scream as she fell down and held your body. The wife she had protected all these years. Her wife. Her soul mate. Her one and true love, Dead.

You tried to speak, but no words came out of your mouth. Instead, as you were dying, Your green eyes gained a clearer vision of your wife. Her beautiful face was crying, Snakes hissing as her hair..But you never mind, Her beauty never scared you after all. Her blue eyes looked at yours. As you slip away from consciousness, you can sleep peacefully after taking a look at your blue-eyed beauty.

In the small cottage, Medusa stood up, Your blood staining her hands as she glanced at the trio, She slowly walked towards them, and grinned.

"I don't mind three additional statues filling my home..."

The Evermore Grimoire: Greek Mythology

Circe (Κιρκη) was an enchantress and goddess of sorcery who was also skilled in the magic of transmutation, illusion, and necromancy in Greek mythology. She lived on the mythical island of Aiaia (Aeaea) with her nymph companions. In Homer's Odyssey, Circe is described as living in a mansion that stands in the middle of a clearing in a dense wood. Around the house prowled strangely docile lions and wolves, the drugged victims of her magic; they were not dangerous, and fawned on all newcomers. Circe also worked at a huge loom. She invited Odysseus' crew to a feast of familiar food, a pottage of cheese and meal, sweetened with honey and laced with wine, but also laced with one of her magical potions, and she turned them all into pigs with a wand after they gorged themselves on it. Only Eurylochus, suspecting treachery from the outset, managed to escape to warn Odysseus and the others who had stayed behind at the ships. Odysseus set out to rescue his men, but was intercepted by Hermes (god of trade), who told him to use the holy herb to protect himself from Circe's potion and, having resisted it, to draw his sword and act as if he were to attack her. From there, Circe would ask him to bed, but Hermes advised caution, for even there the goddess would be treacherous. She would take his manhood unless he had her swear by the names of the gods that she would not.

Hi! Aaron here, if you don´t know me I´m a just a silly guy here on tumblr.🖐

But I have seen so many posts that Odysseus is a womanizer, incel or whatever; usually is from people that had a tenuous understanding of The Odyssey and when talked to are so kind and really interested in that. Nobody is born with knowledge of everything and I respect that (I don´t know everything either)

And I usually reply with long posts so nothing I say is forgotten, but what get´s me on my nerves is after having a civilized and kind conversation with the op´s the next comment usually is something like: yeah Odysseus SUCKS!! or Odysseus is a pos (regarding his fidelity and love to Penelope), skipping over the fact that:

First, I try to talk about the Homeric version (canon) not other retellings (Madelleine Miller´s Circe comes up so many times, I´m not saying I hate her book, I have a love-hate relation with that book for other reasons)

Second, op said they were wronged or had a skewed perception of the matter and changes the post (usually) and alter the tags to say sorry or something.

Third, I´m usually not the only one who shares information regarding the topic, there´s so much people more knowledgeable than me in that matter and mythology in general (YOU HAVE MY UPMOST RESPECT AND PLEASE IF I´M WRONG CORRECT ME!!)

And so many people become upset when other says, read the reblogs and see, they become offended and so on.....

What I´m try to say please let the poor man alone, he had enough of that. He is a pos, but not in that matter, he´s a pathological liar, there´s no denying that.

But if you need proof that Odysseus was forced into sleeping with Circe and Calypso, here it is:

Circe´s case

I apologize before hand as my book is in Spanish and because of that has a tendency of calling Odysseus Ulises (Spanish translation of the latin Ulixes)

translation:

...and I hugged her knees, supplicant and the goddess heard my voice.

And with winged words I said:

-Oh Circe! keep up the promise you have to send me to my home, as my soul compels me, and my comrades pound my cherished heart sobbing around me when I´m not with you.

That´s how i spoke and the noble goddess answered my act

-Divine son of Laertes, cunning Odysseus, stay no more in palace against your will...

The knee hugging was the utmost vulnerable action an Homeric character could do, Priam hugged Achilles knees imploring Achilles to let him have the body of Hector (his son), it is shown when a character is in such poor situation, they´re begging for mercy, not casually.

This is a snippet of the end of Chant VIII, in this chant he narrates everything of what happened in Aiaia (Circe´s island) There are more fragments where is reiterated that his there against his will and is not happy there.

Calypso´s case

This so heart-breaking T T

V Chant

“Said so the powerfull Argophontes (Hermes), he rosed, and the venerable nymph (Calypso) after hearing Zeus’s orders went where the magnificent Odysseus was.

She found him in the shore, with never ending tears that never dried as his sweet life was being consumed by grief, longing for the Returning (Nostoi), as the nymph wasn’t kind to him. Although at night he slept with her in the concave cave, with whom (Calypso) she longed; the day was spent alone, crying and sitting at the shore, his heart ravaged in tears, screams and pains, contemplating the untameable sea with bitter cries.”

And this is his answer after Calypso says he is going to be freed

Said so, the pacient and divine Odysseus, shacking, answered with these winged words.

-Surely you have another thought, nymph, different of my part when you send to cross the sea on a raft the immense waters of the sea, terrible and scary, that even the symmetrical boats helped by Zeus´s breath would crossed those scathed. I will not go to the raft, as you wish, if you don´t vow to the gods that you are not plotting my demise before hand.

[epicblenderartiste]

"I saw you coming." Cassandra is a fully trained sorceress now, as Odysseus and his friends return to Aiaia, in an attempt to save Polites, who is still under a spell from the last time they were there. Eurylochus is just scared... he didn't like this island the first time.

This is the same au where he washes up on Ogygia as a little kid. Odysseus looks so dang young without a beard, but that's kind of the point anyway. Meanwhile Cassandra has never looked more grownup. But because Odysseus was literally ten when they encountered Circe's island, Polites went in his place to save the men who had been turned into pigs and it kind of messed up everything.

[luminouslumity]

Part Two to this!

PUPPETEER: KIRKE (Κιρκη) is the daughter of the sun god HELIOS (Ἡλιος) and his wife PERSEIS (Περσηις). Besides the Odyssey, Hesiod mentions that Kirke settled on the isle of Aiaia after arriving on her father's chariot, while Apollonius says she reluctantly assisted in clensing the Argonauts and her niece MEDEA (Μήδεια) after they had killed and dismembered her nephew ABSYRTOS ( Ἄψυρτος) while escaping with the Golden Fleece.

And while we're at it, some of you guys are gonna be so mad at Jay for this, but Polites would've actually still been alive at this point in the story. In fact, it's his only mention in the entire Odyssey.

Then Polites, my most devoted and most loyal man, a leader to his peers, said, ‘Friends, inside someone is weaving on that massive loom, and singing so the floor resounds. Perhaps a woman, or a goddess. Let us call her.’

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE: Hermes, as mentioned before, is Odysseus' great-grandfather on his mother's side, with the Odyssey mentioning he came to his descendant in the form of an adolescent boy. Being the god of thieves, a few of his other kin besides Odysseus were tricksters as well; most notably, his son MYRTILOS (Μυρτίλος) helped PELOPS (ΠΈΛΟΨ) cheat his way into winning the hand of Princess HIPPODAMIA (Ἱπποδάμεια). Myrtilos claimed that in exchange for his assistance, Pelops would let him seduce his new bride, but when Hippodamia rejected him, Pelops cast him into the sea. Enraged, Myrtilos then cursed him and his entire bloodline, from which Agamemnon and Menelaos are descended from.

MOLY, like many plants in mythology, has no specific correspondence, though Homer describes it as having black roots and white flowers.

DONE FOR and THERE ARE OTHER WAYS: Because one immediately leads into the other more than the other songs do, I thought I'd cover these two in one go.

So in the Odyssey, after Odysseus goes to confront Kirke, the goddess is so impressed by him that she immediately invites him to her bed. Odysseus refuses, unless she swears to turn his men back to normal. Afterwards, he's tended to her by her nymphs and is invited to dine with her, but Odysseus is still uncomfortable, until she at last upholds her word and then instructs Odysseus to drag his ship to land and place all the stores and gear inside the island's caves. As for his crew, the reunion is described thusly:

I found my loyal men beside the ship, weeping and shedding floods of tears. As when a herd of cows is coming back from pasture into the yard; and all the little heifers jump from their pens to skip and run towards their mothers, and they cluster round them, mooing; just so my men, as soon as they saw me, began to weep, and in their minds it seemed as if they had arrived in their own home, the land of rugged Ithaca, where they were born and raised.

Eurulokhos is the only one who doesn't trust Kirke to treat them kindly after all she's done, but his worries are quickly proven false, for she plays host from then on, allowing them to stay and rest for one year. Kirke then instructs Odysseus to go down to the Underworld, to the house of Lord HAIDES (Ἁιδης) and dreadful PERSEPHONE (Περσεφονη), and seek out the prophet known as TIRESIAS (Τειρεσίας).

As for the "I have been in love once before" line, this is likely in reference to a minor sea god called GLAUKOS (Γλαυκος). According to the Romans Pseudo-Hyginus and Ovid, Circe had fallen in love with him, but her feelings went unrequited, as his affection was for the nymph SCYLLA, who'd spurned him. Glaucus then asked Circe to help him, but she, overcome with jealousy, instead poisoned the water where Scylla bathed upon rejection and transformed her into a monster.

Plot:

The film opens with Hippolyta telling a young Diana about the Great War between the Atlantans and the Amazons. She explains to her that the fought over an ancient relic the Spear of Entity.

She explains the Spear belonged to the God Poseidon the original ruler of Atlantis. The Spear was given to Zeus who in turn gave it to Hecate, and she used it to harness her most powerful spells and bestow the gift of magic to others.

Hippolyta tells Diana the King of the Atlantis,(prior to Aquaman’s Mother) wanted the Amazons to give him the spear back, and when they declined the war started. One of Hecate’s followers named Circe betrayed the Amazons and stolen the Spear draining it of its powers making her a wicked and powerful sorceress.

The Amazons and Atlantans waged war on her and with assistance from dying Hecate herself Circe was bashed to the island of Aiaia.

Years Later Diana stops a group of terrorist from unleashing a bio weapon at the White House, after she is thanked by Agent Steve Trevor who informs her the President sends his thanks.

On the island of Themyscira multiple Amazons are training, and Hippolyta watch over them when her sister Antiope calls to her and asks her to talk about her sorrows. Just then a large red and black burst of fires shoots through the force field around the island and crashes into the heart of the it. Circe emerges from the smoke and brimstone and demand the Amazons obey her commands.

Antiope orders the Amazons to attack the traitor who create an army of undead Greek soldiers to attack them, she vanishes in red smoke and reappears before Hippolyta, she demand she tell her the location of the Spear so she can free her soul.

Hippolyta refuses and the two fight with Circe uses her powers to overthrow the Queen. Antiope uses an arrow that pierces Circe’s arm, shocked that a weapon was able to hurt her she vows to return to kill them once she finds the Spear and leaves. Antiope reveals the arrow was dosed in Moly the only herb and known physical item able to hurt the Witch.

The Amazons send a message to Diana, though Hippolyta is unsure if she’ll be able to return home.

Seeing the message Diana turns to her friend Dr. Sandsmark to see if she can help her return home.

She reveals she had an item that is Amazonian but isn’t sure how it can help her.

Diana returns to Steve Trevor’s office to ask for his help, Steve show’s Diana a prototype of a Military jet that is said to be one of the fastest, as a token of thanks. She asks him what’s the catch to which he tells her this isn’t one. She thanks him for his help and he asks her about the artifact. She tells him it’s from her home but asks him if he can look into the location of the Spear.

Combining the artifact with the mainframe of the jet it enhances it and gives it the ability to turn invisible and travel through any dimension Diana can think of. She uses it and arrives back to Themyscira.

Diana is told the rest of the story she learned as a child and just how powerful Circe is and how just how much more she can be if she recovers the Spear.

Before leaving Hippolyta gives Diana two items,the Armor of Amazon and the Shield of Athena. She tells her to combine these item with the God Slayer sword Athena gave her to stop Circe, but Diana tells her Mother she hopes to not kill and find another. Her Mother tells her she lost hope for Circe centuries ago but if anyone can stop her it’ll be Diana.

Steve is able to have a small team locate the Spear and joins the group to retrieve it from an inhabited island off the coast of Rome.

Circe has already learned the location and sends her minions to kill the group of troops.

Hippolyta tells her she is happy to see her again, and she tells Diana she hopes whatever brought her back to her she prays to the Gods she can see her again. And with that Diana boards her Jet and heads off to help Steve.

Most of Steve’s team is murder and he’s running through the jungle unable to kill Circe’s minions. She calls to him like a Siren and nearly lures him to his death until Diana uses her shield to stop Circe’s minions from attack.

She summons for her sword which appears from magic and uses it to destroy the magical minions.

Steve tells her the coordinates and the two enter inside an old temple for the Spear, the two find Circe who has it in her possession and finds it to be a fake, she has a vanish of the real on which is guarded by the Atlantans.

Circe caused the caves to collapse and vanishs, Diana get Steven out in time and the she must find Circe before she finds the real Spear.

Aquaman enters to a temple outside of the city that is guarded and we see Circe appear inside. Atlantans, Aquaman and Circe battle inside the temple.

Wonder Woman bursts inside and knocks Circe away from striking Aquaman, he asks her is she a friend of hers and she denies but tells him she must not get inside the temple.

The two have an epic battle with Circe who is wounded by Diana’s sword. She uses her powers to create a hex to and tells Diana she must choose to stop her or help her friend.

Circe escapes with the real Spear and Wonder Woman uses her Lasso to exile the hex from Aquaman. She tells him about Circe and he tells her that some people are above being saved, but that some people also just need to be save from themselves.

Circe returns to D.C. and drains the remaining powers from the Spear.

Diana drops down from her jet and tells Circe it ends now.

The two have a destructive and bloody battle that Wonder Woman nearly loses. But thinking about her mother, her friends, and Steve she thinks about something Circe has never had. Love.

She gets her second wind and uses her Lasso she is able to stop Circe. The Lasso cannot force Circe to tell the truth but Diana is able to talk to her and make her realize that taking all the power in the world cannot feel what Circe is missing most.

Circe is furious but tells the Amazon she is wise beyond her years, even wiser than most of the Gods.

Circe tells Diana that all she ever knew was power, she never knew anything else.

Diana tells her she must expel the power of the Spear or it could kill her. Circe spats at her and tells her she has been vested but Diana will not win in the long run.

Circe vows that she will kill Diana, and will destroy Man’s World. Circe vanishes in red smoke.

Diana feels sad that she couldn’t save her but Steve arrives and tells her she did the one thing other warriors never did and that was offer her companion, and the chance to be heard. He tells her only she can give someone that.

In the last scene Diana is on the shores of Themyscira and Hippolyta comes to her and they talk and she tells her she’s proud of her, she could have easily killed Circe which is what most would have done but Diana isn’t like most. She stronger, faster, but most of all she had compassion for those who cannot fight and will always help everyone weather they feel they are worthy or not. The two walk farther down the shore and Hippolyta hugs her daughter one last time before she boards her jet and flies back to Man’s World.

Circe by Madeline Miller. (a review) Circe the daughter of Helios, and famous witch of Aiaia. is not all bad, (read the f*kin book) she just wants to know what they all know, she just want to be known, to be loved. she wants to be acknowledged.

⚠️🚨SPOILER ALERT!! 🚨⚠️

Her story speaks that, its never the flower's fault to have thorns and fruit poison, if not of the environment she could have continued its sweet blossom. Ive never felt so sad reading the fresh chapters to know that nobody love her! not even her own parents! if they dont even want her why did they tortured and pour thier venom of love. And the worst! the ungrateful brother who she raised! Aeetes just stick to her becuz she admire him more! the son of the b*tch do not treat her as sister as much as he speak of the word, he doesn't even care what the shit she feels, all he cares is not to be stupid and not get his divinity ruin. And the shitty mortal Gaucos, the heck he doesn't value Circe if she not have grantedd him blessings from her grandmother. And the best i could see that could almost love circe is Scylla to which circe had bent her to a monster out of jealousy, even if Scylla is a b*tch too atleast she talked to circe like a friend i supposed.,

i hope atleast someone will love circe in the following chapters, im here in the page of witnessing her run around the island and is in extravagantly prepared exile of a paradise. The whole house is prepared for her to live alone and enjoy her stay! The HECK. And you know, i am outrageously impressed of her being strong and bold and thick faced, despite her depression.

She had cried a lot! but the thought of turning into stone and what-not makes her move further, to look for a better and brighter future. its the trait she has, the strength to not easily giving up, to be resourceful because then again she is a witch, its that she wish to live better than this, and to all she can do ( or what she believes she can) she do things to get it to which alot saw it as greedy or prideful because she is the daughter of helios

(i hate Helios, although circe had grown greedy or prideful, or its just that she wants to be acknowledged and so she sells off all of her dignity to be heard. i teared up at the line where she finally can sing freely because she is never allowed in their house (perse, she is NOT mother at all, a b*tch only) i wish i could hug circe!! even tho she can be a little stupid and perhaps morally grey, pls could at least someone love her and change her! make her see! or at least some kind person to love and take her as her and to all she wish!! Its never her fault! its always been the surroundings!

The first night

(Part 2)

How I was home. Home, it was home, my streets, my ports, my palace ….

-Father what?!!!!!

-Telemachus..I…

-She did what?

Telemachus, my dear joy, my little prince, what did you heard?

Everything since the beginning.

A cold sweat has embraced me, my limbs I can't control them, Are they here? Are they? Oh no the pigs. A laugh….SHE´S HERE!!! How?Everything I did, every day left, every tail she changed, but why?-- oink—-- 

-CIRCE!

-Telemachus!!!!!!!!!!Run, Hide. Penelope upstairs Now I will stay here as dawn awaits the sun. I will not run.

She is approaching. The oinks are getting louder, the flowers…THE FLOWERS. Look how they move, how they snare, how they creep from below. the pain, the gold, the threads, the stick, the pigs, white. It's Circe 

-Your graceful goddess, misstress of Aiaia I Odysseus father ot Telemachus Laertides, stay with me, welcome to my home, but by your oath you must not harm them or the taste of my bronze sword would be...

-ODYSSEUS, STOP!!!

-HE..R HER FACE IS CHANGING, STAY BACK I'm warning you.

AS i say so, HER heights diminished, her light arms became dark, It's a girl?

-Our lord, your grace, i'm only here to bring you my harvest, my tribute to you, why do I get to taste your divine threat? (the girl is in the brink of tears)

-You're a girl, where is SHE? OHH you're one of her nymphs- Aren't you? Tell Circe in my house her presence is not allow…. ( a slap from Penelope echoes around the room )

-My King who's Circe??  I'm (insert girl name here), daughter of (insert random name), Shepherd as the only kin of his, I came to bring you the fattest pigs of here as sacrifice to the gods of the isle, from my father and I.

As she was speaking I saw her eyes turning from fear to pity, as Penelope whispered something into her ear

Then she starts to look at me and with a goodbye she gets out.

-I told her that our rightful lord, our divine King, has become afraid of pigs as part of his crew was killed by Circe's boars. (Penelope)

My dear, thank you.... I lost myself…

-Lost myself?, I saw your deep eyes filling with blood, your tense wrists, your  forced grin, i saw anger in your words.. My Joy I'm afraid of you...

-A...afraid, you are afraid of me? Did I become a threat, a….. monster to you?

-Not dear, i'm afraid of what you can do to our people, you're still King after all, i pity you from my depths below bottom, but you aren't my Odysseus, not anymore

I i..i. am...Oddysseus...

(Why do she hates me, 20 years away, the horse, the boy, Polyphemus, the crew....and this is my biggest fear)

-I…i…i a..am so..rry 

Grief, confussion, thought, swords...what´s to happening to me????.

I feel a hand, a kiss...

-You're Odysseus, son of Laertes, father of my joy, dear Telemachus, you're Odysseus King of Ithaca, you're still my love.

-I..ahm…Thank you my queen.

Telemachus... TELEMACHUS!!!!!

-Yes, father, what happened?, wait better not asks, as my poisoned words were the ones that began your pain( a tear is shed)

-Son; come here, you NEVER, NEVER send me poisoned words as honey never spoils, my love to you it will stay as the inmutable stars of the night. Even if you burned all Ithaca, all the lands under Uranus.You will always be my son, my joy, my sun.

-Then… why did you evade my question? You´re Odysseus the man of many turns, the cunning master of the Danaoi,breaker of divine's Troy walls, slayer of Circe the witch…

-Slayer of Circe?, you think I killed her?

-Yes, that's what I said

-I didn't kill her

-Wait, yo…u didn't?

-No, and with her help we were nurished to life for a year, thanks to daughter of Helios we went to the house of the ones of many names and find the teller of future past.

-Friend told me otherwise.

-Friend? You said friend??..
