Hear me out; Ctimene didn't blame Odysseus. She hears that all the suitors have been killed as she rushes back to the palace, worried for the safety of Penelope. And on her way, Ctimeme hears hushed whispers of people talking about the king. But she would be confused, because that’s not right, Penelope had hope and she wouldn’t choose a suitor…now they’re all dead? So basically, Ctimene rushes back and she wonders which king would slay all the suitors, that’s when it clicks. Look Mene’s smart, she’s Ody’s sister, it’s in the genes, she figures it out pretty easily. Now she’s running to the palace, feeling like a little kid. Her sandals make a screech as she stops and sees….Odysseus of Ithaca in the flesh, he’s finally home. She runs up and hugs him, he hesitates, being the guilt-ridden man he is, with hope sparkling in her eyes, she pulls away and asks Ody the question he’d been dreading: “Where’s Eury?”. Now look, Odysseus has a silver tongue, he lied to Athena and got away with it, but he couldn’t lie to his sister. She noticed his silence and downcast eyes, as panic seized her. “Ody, tell me he’s watiing at the dock” Odysseus stays silent for a white more before he began to speak. He told her everything. He told her how the lotus eaters directed them to the cave, he told her about Polites. This is where he pauses, and Ctimene remembers Polites, he was a really nice guy, one of Ody’s friends. He tells her about the storm and how Eury tried to warn him that he doesn’t know how much longer he had until ‘his luck ran out’. He tells her about the wind bag, but doesn’t mention who opened it. He tells her about Poseidon and Circe’s island. He hesitates when talking about Eury proposing to leave the men behind, but Ctimene gives him a look that tells him not to leave anything out. He tells her about Hermes and Circe. He tells her about going to the Underworld, seeing their mother, the crew, and Polites and learning his fate in the upcoming years. Then Odysseus pauses and his voice cuts off as he realises: “A man with a trail of bodies…” But he keeps talking, he tells her about the sirens, and how he could have sworn Eury’s siren was Ctimene. He tells her about Sylla, and explains how either 6 of them had to die, or none of them would make it home, and Ithaca would still be waiting. He tells her about Eury’s confession in a hushed voice, as if he didn’t want Ctimene to see that her husband was the one who opened the wind bag. He pauses before getting that look from his sister again, reminding him not to spare any details and talks about the mutiny. Ctimene is shocked, she coud believe that Eury would lead an attack against her brother, no matter what happened…but deep down, she knows Ody would have done the same. Anyways, he tells her about Zeus, and how he was forced to choose between himself and his crew…and he saw Penelope. Ody tells her about Ogigya and how He saw EURY reminding him once again, he saw their mother. He told her about Poseidon, and how he saw Eury once again helping him through it Then he goes silent. Ctiemene thinks it through, head hanging low, her hair acting as a curtain, but Ody knows she’s mourning. She realises that Eurylochus wasn’t a near death hallucination, she knows that he was really there, and if he was helping Ody, that means he no longer blamed his captain, if Eury doesn’t blame Ody…then why should she? She knows that if Ody was in his position, he would have done the same, maybe he wouldn’t kill the cow but he would get mad over Scylla, Ody and Eury were 2 of a kind, they woud have done the same. Present-Odysseus would be standing in shame after finishing his story, he would be ready for his sister to attack him, and he would let her. She could kill him and he wouldn’t fight back, or try to defend himself. He opens his arms as an invitaton to punch him, Ctimene sees it, but instead of hitting him, she takes a step forward and wraps her arms around her brother, and they sob in each other’s arms.

@ctimemes could put me out of a job. Fortunately for me, I'm unfireable, as I'm unpaid.
