For the ship bingo thing, Odysseus and Penelope?
Tumblr media
I just love how LOYAL these two are to each other!!! 20 years they'd been forced apart by both war and the gods...
Odysseus braves every obstacle known to man to reunite with his Penelope. Even while he's forced to sleep with 2 goddesses -- he still thinks about Penelope and even weeps over being away from her. I think many people forget Odysseus was basically raped, for that reason I hate some depictions of him as this cheating adulterer.
Meanwhile Penelope keeps rejecting and holding off countless suitors by using her wits, in the hopes that her Odysseus will return. Worth noting how Odysseus and Penelope both had to use their wits, in order to get past all the obstacles in their story. Maybe that's why these 2 fell in love in the first place. And because Penelope still loves Odysseus, she raises their child Telemachus to love and respect his absent father, to the point Telemachus later goes searching for him.
