Odysseus: Love, if I died, would you get married again?

Penelope: That's a stupid question, I wouldn't let you die.

Odysseus: But what if it was out of your control, like I was run over by a chariot or fell ill or something?

Penelope: I would march down into the Fields of Punishment and drag you back out.

Odysseus: What if I was at peace in the afterlife, and didn't want to come back?

Penelope: I don't care what you want, you think I'm living without you? Are you crazy?

Odysseus: Awwwww. Wait, why did you just assume I'd end up in the Fields of Punishment?

Penelope: Have you met yourself? You're a heinous bastard and that's why I love you.

Friendly reminder that greek mythology retellings are retellings, not summaries. Please don't try to know the original source through them.

I wouldn't like Epic to end up getting as much hate as TSOA, just because people can't tell the difference between rendition and canon.

Let retellings frolick in their happy place 🌈🍭
