Holy fuck Odysseus tortured a god

[warsmith-38]

Polyphemus, if one judges the slams in 'Survive' as killing at least one or two guys per swing, kills at least a dozen or so.

Odysseus: 600 men making our way back home to Ithaca!

*Polythemus swings his club around*

Odysseus: 593 men making our way back home to Ithaca.

*Poseidon wipes out the other 11 ships in the fleet*

Odysseus: ...43 men making our way back home to Ithaca.

*Elpenor's drunk ass falls off Circe's roof*

Odysseus: 42 men making our way back home to Ithaca, I guess.

*Scylla targets the torch holders*

Odysseus: 36 men making our way back home to Ithaca. Put that sword away, Eurylochus.

*Zeus strikes the ship with lightning*

Odysseus: 1 man making his way back home to Penelope and Telemachus. And by the gods, I will somehow make it.

hey so i Fully Believe that telemachus was not afraid of odysseus in Hold Them Down

people may have told him stories of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, Athena's chosen Champion, Hero of Troy

but mama's boy telemachus sat by her feet as she wove tapestry after tapestry; and penelope told her little wolf stories of his father

how they met, how he tripped over himself to woo her, how he cried his eyes out when penelope became pregnant, how telemachus wouldn't sleep in his cot as a baby because he was so used to being in his father's arms because odysseus would not put him down; and yes, how viciously he defended their family when the atrides came to retrieve him for the war

telemachus? the child of the Unhinged Power Couple? who knew very well how horrible those suitors were, how they treated him and spoke of his mother?

took one look at his dad viciously protecting their home, their family, and thought he was the coolest, strongest person ever (after mom ofc)

Y’all I feel like I’m losing my marbles. Any help is appreciated because I CANNOT REMEMBER THE NAME OF ONE SPECIFIC BOOK FOR THE LIFE OF ME! It’s a retelling of the Odyssey but it focuses on Telemachus.

(Some of the following details might be wrong in my half crazed summary, but I swear the major plot beats are there)

Does anyone remember that novel where Penelope was given a prophecy that Odysseus wouldn’t return until Telemachus started to grow a beard or something? And she would look every day and would have a blank face but Telemachus thought she was sad so he went on his journey to find information and stuff.

But - PLOT TWIST - Penelope was actually relived because in this version Odysseus is the FREAKING WORST. So Odysseus comes back and he and Telemachus totally destroy all of the suitors but after that Telemachus stands up to him and basically says “Hey dude, you suck and you have to leave now” and Odysseus is all “Nah bro, I own you” and I think they fight and idk how but Telemachus wins and Odysseus is banished or something?

I remember reading it when I was younger and liking it up to the point where I found out Odysseus was the bad guy. But now that I’m an adult and not in my mid-teens I have a greater appreciation of the hot mess of Odysseus’s morality and how he can be interpreted.

(Especially after listening to EPIC and re-assessing the Odyssey with the crew in mind. If you haven’t listened to it yet what the heck are you doing with your life)

I swear this book exists, I have it in my collection but my books are all in boxes in the middle of my parent’s basement and there is no way in the world that I am getting into them in the next two years. I spent all day googling anything I could think of and it is not coming up in any of my searches. If anyone could give me the name of it I would literally cry from the sheer relief of someone else knowing it exists AND knowing what the heck to look for online so that I can get an ebook of it.

[blindhades]

we're not paying enough attention to the fact that Ody talks about Penelope in his sleep

[mothielad]

Epic artists: Odysseus’s hair and beard get longer as the odyssey goes on since he doesn’t have access to hair cutting tools!

Eurylochus:
