What's your take on Odysseus's trauma and recovery back in Ithaca?
*looks at all the comics I made*
Lol but really, I realistically expect it to be severely rocky. He’ll have good days, mostly bad days, but what keeps him grounded is of course his family, you know?
But imagine losing your entire fleet under your command...
...only to come back to an entire population of thousands of people, expecting that you will lead them.
What if he fails again?

Odysseus is awake for nine days, right, and probably a very short nap
So basically I’m hearing that when Poseidon jogs up and gets all in their faces, Odysseus is almost definitely seeing the Hat Man do a little shimmy and the Charleston right on deck also

Eddie, in the middle of a zoom interview with the band: Heeeey, return of the king! How’s the head?
Steve, unknowingly coming into frame looking like he’s just woke up from the world’s longest nap: Never had any complaints… I feel cloudy.
Eddie: Well, that migraine took you out for almost a whole day. Say hi to the band.
Steve: Don’t show me. I look terrible
Eddie: You look beautiful! Just like the survivor at the end of an apocalypse movie
Steve, flatly: …thanks.
Steve:
Steve, ducking out of frame: Are you being interviewed right now? Why are you talking to me?

EURYLOCHUS: “Hey Captain, I’m worried about how since we got that bag you’ve…you know…stopped sleeping? I was thinking maybe I should take a turn so you can…Captain? Hello?”
ODYSSEUS: (turns to him excitedly) “Penelope?”
EURYLOCHUS: (taking a step back) “Um, no, sir, it’s just me.” (looks closer) “By the Gods, man, you look awful!”
ODYSSEUS: (hallucinating like no tomorrow) “I can’t wait to make some new memories!”
EURYLOCHUS: “Yeah, we’re all excited to get home. Listen. Captain. You really need some sleep.”
ODYSSEUS: “Telemachus!” (tries to hug him)
EURYLOCHUS: (dodges) “Captain, can you even hear me right now?”
ODYSSEUS: “Time for me to be the father I never was.”
EURYLOCHUS: “Captain! Snap out of it!”
ODYSSEUS: “Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?”
EURYLOCHUS: “Because you haven’t slept in nine days. That’s it, this is ridiculous. I’ll watch the bag, you go rest.”
ODYSSEUS: “I keep on trying to embrace you both, why won’t you let me?”
EURYLOCHUS: (has an idea, in a falsetto) “You need to come to bed, Odysseus, love.” (slips an arm under his shoulder)
ODYSSEUS: (raving) “So much has changed, but I’m the same.” (flinging his arms around EURYLOCHUS)
(A group of MEN sneaks behind them, reaching for the bag while they’re distracted.)
EURYLOCHUS: (trying to lead ODYSSEUS to a cot) “Uh-huh, of course you are you, come on now.”
(MEN grab the bag and huddle excitedly around it)
EURYLOCHUS: “Seriously, Captain, you should have shared watch duties from the start. Nine days without sleep? Are you nuts?”
ODYSSEUS: (muttering incoherently) “I’m the same…”
(The STORM suddenly rages)
