YALL I REALISED JUST NOW THAT ODYSSEUS BLINDED POSEIDON TOO

Damn Ody has a problem with blinding Poseidons' family (except the brothers considering... zeus and hades yk)

Wanna entertain me?

Full body design of Antinous, i gave him more curls to make him a parallel to Odysseus' hair

Also yes, he basically goes semi-naked around the palace showing off his body against the other suitors, and that he doesn't need anything more than his words, his charisma (and his dagger) to win.

[yui-onnero]

I'm officially helpless. Something that has been in my mind for the past few days now is if Antinous made his own version of "Peaches" (from the mario movie) for Penelope. If you would, could someone PLEASE make an animatic of this?!

"B- But your Au antinous-"

Idk if anyone's talked about this before but the Wisdom saga made me think about how Penelope isn't just being a loyal wife. I mean, there's loyal, and then there's "Your Majesty your husband is almost definitely dead by now we really really need a new king can you *please* legitimize someone to rule who is actually old enough to do that" the Ithacans probably think she's delusional for insisting that her husband is coming home after twenty years.

Penelope's not stupid, she hopes beyond hope, but she knows the chances of Odysseus making it home dwindle every day. Things happen, out at sea, ships never make it home. She knows there's a much greater chance that she's faithful to a ghost.

But it's not just loyalty. These men courting her would kill her son.

He's Odysseus's heir. All the men who trusted and followed Odysseus, well, Telemachus is his son. He can call on those other kings' friendship with his father. He has Odysseus's legacy behind him. Odysseus's friendships. He's young, but if he's inherited half his father's cleverness, half his father's strength, he's on the way to becoming a powerful king in his own right. A threat to his stepfather's rule.

And the suitors know this. If one of them became king, Telemachus wouldn't be likely to survive-- and if he did, it'd probably be in exile.

And Penelope knows this. So as she watches her son grow up, she says Odysseus must be coming home soon. She says she's waiting for him. And when that won't hold water, she stalls, and watches her son grow into his father's son. Anything she can think of, to give him more time.

She's ruled well, alone, but Ithaca must have a king.

She doesn't tell anyone why she's stalling, not even Telemachus. He's like Odysseus- he needs someone to protect, and right now that's her. Let him defend her virtue against the suitors, and she'll keep stalling, keeping them away from her son's throne until he can claim it.

[lavenderhyacinths]

The Wisdom Saga was definitely chalk full of dark material (more so than usual), Odysseus's turmoil and suicidal thoughts, Telemachus's struggle at home, and trying to be more like his dad, Athena coming to terms with her past mistakes and putting everything on the line for her friends. Resulting in her assault from her own dad.

But I feel we forget about Penelope here, the poor woman. Left alone for 20 years, holding out hope for her lost husband. Surely, talk of the war ending had reached her sooner or later. Yet there is no sign of her husband. But she waits, confined to her room all day and night because her palace is no longer a safe place anymore.

Her situation is basically any woman's worst nightmare. For 20 years, she's been stuck alone with a horde of power-hungry and dangerous men who ask her son to finally "open her door so they can have fun with her." They refer to her as "the crown" because in their eyes, thats her only value.

Thank god they're are probably guards that are still loyal to Odysseus, though I would guess they are as young as Telemachus, given how Ody probably took a good chunk of men to war.

But still, they outnumber her, threaten her son, and make jabs at her honor and fidelity. Penelope is forced to sit and wait as they grow more impatient every day. While she is cunning, she is still human, who knows how many days went by as she threatened to break. Just like her husband, still so many miles away from home.

After a quick thought, I've changed a few things on my Ithaca saga bingo,,, 🫶

[sleeping-at-sea]

“When's your tramp of a mother gonna choose a new husband?”

“Fight, Little Wolf, Fight!”

“Let's teach this dog a lesson, in front of all his kind”

“One young wolf has a larger heart, than all these men combined”

Plus Poseidon in Ruthlessness : “Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now”

There’s a LOT of like wolf/dog symbolism in EPIC, especially in The Wisdom Saga
