Odysseus (in the odyssey) great! This was wonderful father son bonding time. I love you so much son gotta completely clean the entire house before your mother sees. She will kill me if I allow the blood to stain.

#The odyssey #Odysseus #Telemachus #Anyway I know it was probably “Oh women can't see blood sexist bullshit” however #Between that and odysseus joking that penelope won't even look at him unless he's dressed his best #Have we considered extreme neat freak penelope #Or alternatively #Odysseus belatedly realizing that blood is soaking into every surface of the hosur and oh gods what if some got on penelopes tapestries?#Odysseus: clutching telemachus's shoulders in a bruising gripe: my most beloved child #Tell me the blood didn't get on her tapestries. LIE to me if you have to. It doesn't matter how much we love each other she will kill me #Athena: quit screaming i already made the blood disappear #Odysseus: Pallas Athena i have NEVER been more grateful ever not even all the other times you've saved my life could compare to this moment #Daily reminder that Athena just lives in odysseus's house
