When I manage to actually articulated it, I'm going to write an angsty Penelope pov of her deciding to unweave her work for the first time. I have so many feelings about this
#Epic the musical#Specifically but technically it does also work for the odyssey too#Penelope#Weaving#Penelope's unweaving scheme to buy time for odysseus's return#Have we considered how this would affect her?#Like she is athena's blessed weaver#And beyond that I find it's almost impossible for artists/creators not to pour their heart and soul into the things they're making#(In my experience at least)#Let alone making a beloved husband's wedding shroud#Can you imagine how it much it would have /hurt/ to both make the shroud and then have to /undo it/#Do you think it felt sacrilegious?#Do you think it went against everything in her being to unravel the thread?#In my head this happens around when odysseus is singing monster (and then continued for the next four years)#At the same moment penelope grasping her thread and /pulling/ singing prayers to Athena#“If it's monstrous to throw away your gifts then forgive me Athena I must become the monster while I'm waiting waiting”#Odypen#Athena#Orginal homophrosyne couple
