Hermes, whatcha got there?

Just little Telemachus and his great-great-grandfather

You can tell how much Odysseus wants to go back and be a father to Telemachus when he tells the cyclops ��I’m so glad we see eye to eye.”

Like dude’s been practicing his dad jokes he is READY-

Athena pretended she didn't notice Odysseus glaring at her with hatred in his eyes. She tapped her foot, pondering what to say to break the ice.

Athena (tight smile): I get the feeling you're mad at me. Your face is contorted.

Odysseus (enraged): Don't pull a Zeus on me. I'm mad at you, Athena! You left me! You left me without telling me who the cyclops was related to! I did not have you for over twenty years! Twenty years during which I watched my friends die! I was stuck on an island with a five-stage clinger, and I missed… everything! I missed everything about them.

Odysseus shook as he fought back tears, thinking about how he wasn't there for his family.

Athena (sincere): I'm sorry.

Odysseus (surprised): You—What?

Athena: I'm sorry. I abandoned you at the worst time, and then when I arrived, all that insanity and pain had happened to you. You didn't deserve any of that. I'm sorry for everything, and if it means anything, my uncle deserved what he got. I can't say sorry enough either, but I am, and I understand if you never forgive me.

Odysseus (sniffling): None of you have ever apologized to me… No, no! I'm mad at you! I'm mad! I'm—

Odysseus began crying, making Athena frown. She dropped her weapon and hugged Odysseus—something he hadn't gotten in actual freaking decades!

'O Artemis! Majestic goddess! Daughter of Zeus! If only you would shoot an arrow in my heart and kill me now'

Why Hermes wasn't in God Games:

a) Zeus doesn't take him seriously

and/or

b) Zeus knows Hermes is already on Ody's side so Athena wouldn't even have to convince him

The one (1) thing that Odysseus and Calypso have in common:

Neither of them know how to apologise properly

[digitalfreak0ut]

Here is my offering to the epic gods. This saga is straight up consuming my brain. I can’t go a day without listening to it help.

(This was a super lazy sketch sorryyyy)

“Here comes the hurricane b!tch”

Head cannon designs of Odysseus and Poseidon belong to me.

Note: I need to see Odysseus (aka Jorge) in the Katrina hurricane trend.

Why are we infantalizing Telemachus so much? This isn't really an issue but just something I noticed in Epic fandom. The way he's often drawn and written in fanworks is more of what I would imagine a 13-15yo Telemachus to look and act like. He's 20. I understand he's a prince and he's obviously kinda sheltered and spoiled because of it but the fandom treats him like he's a child and I find it mildly frustating.

It's like this in every fandom where the bright and hopeful character is treated like a child despite not being one. I understand that in modern society most people tend to be disillusioned and cynical by their late teens to early twenties but being optimistic and hopeful doesn't mean the character is a child. Telemachus grew up in a complete different time period and while he's a bit naive due to his upbringing, he's not uncapable of critical thought.

In the Odyssey he's praised for his similarity to his father and capacity to lead by Athena and a bunch of Odysseus' old war buddies despite the fact that his low self-esteem held him back from rising to his full potential. I know Epic isn't the same as the Odyssey but I thought I should point this out.

Telemachus isn't a child. He's an optimistic young adult who's a bit naive and I find that infinitely more interesting than the weirdly child-like traits the fandom has assigned to him.
