The thing about Palamedes is that based on his overall being genuinally a good person vibe I do think he only endangered Telemachus because he was pretty sure Odysseus was lying. After all he knew Odysseus well enough to draw this conclusion.

Wich does open the idea for my man being completly heartbroken and lowkey hated in a reality where he was actually wrong and Odysseus had fully went mad for reals. No one has a good time at all. Also whatever revenge plan Penelope would have in mind would be worse than Odysseus for sure (although I do think Palamedes would fully be "no I do deserve that one actually" after killing her son in front of her and ending Odysseus whole disnasty to prove a point he didn't even prove).

Bonus points if Ody went mad the only way he would via angering a god and the curse is lifted after he kills his son and Agamemnon fully not reading the room is like "cool that was fixed, let's go to war" while everyone else is in shock.

#this is silly #but like i fully belive being wrong never even crossed palamedes head #and that's why it would broke him completly if he was #and as someone who while fully thinks he deserved it also recognizes he was a way better person than odysseus and lowkey likes him #i want the angst #and the ithacan royal couple revenge + odysseus own self hate #just penelope deserves her chance on doing murder #but for real I really love Socrates speach about Palamedes #on the other hand is kinda funny how he is like #even tho odysseus won palamedes poems are better and more popular #and only the odyssey survived #we can't even say if it was true cause we don't have any epic to palamedes #palamedes #me writing random angst ideas for no reason?#odysseus #tagamenon #the epic cicle #penelope #troyan war #Agamenon #also i fully agree with odysseus not caring about how sure palamedes was he still endeagered his baby
