I designed all 15 suitors of Penelope that are mentioned in the Odyssey… I have no regrets, I love them so much, I will never let them go. Considering yapping sessions for each one based on their known stories and my headcanons for them

GROUP CLOSE UPS:

And below are the full images in height order too (idk how tumblr quality will deal with them LOL)

Call my head the Ithacan Palace because the suitors live rent free in it

[messymoonmad]

How would the other suitors look like in your style? (Mainly leodes, euryades, elatus, and agelaus. you dont have to make art of them, im simply curious cause i adore your art)!

I'd love to design them, but I don't know shit about them, and I'm always too lazy to actually do my research. But if you infodump about them in this post, I'll definitely read it and make the whole process easier

[amphinomusthemusical]

I was sent here by Willow to ask questions/silly So *cracks knuckles*

1. Is the musical about Amphinomus’ time at the Ithacan palace, starting from his childhood to his tragic end, while exploring with his relationships with the other characters?

2. Are Agelaus, Polybus, Eurydamas, Elatus, Leiocritus, Euryades, Peisander, Eurynomus, and Demoptolemus background characters and overall not important to the development of the plot, or are they just not mentioned in the musical?

3. will it be as graphic as the Odyssey, or will it be a bit toned down?

4. Is the ending of the musical when Odysseus comes back and Amphinomus suffers his tragic end? or is there another ending in mind?

5. Why is Apollo in the musical? What role does he play?

6. Are you going to play in with Leodes’ visions of the future?

7. How many songs do you have in mind?

8. What’s the thing you’re struggling the most with?

9. How do you start your song-writing process?

10. Do any of the characters have leif-motifs or certain melodies that are associated with them?

11. What made you choose Amphinomus as your muse?

and mostly importantly/j

12. Is there a potential alternative universe where everyone is actors/j

OKAY OKAY SO-

1. Is the musical about Amphinomus’ time at the Ithacan palace, starting from his childhood to his tragic end, while exploring his relationships with other characters?

Yes—the musical is essentially a character study of Amphinomus told over time, beginning in his youth, through his arrival at Ithaca, all the way to the infamous slaughter.

2. Are Agelaus, Polybus, Eurydamas, Elatus, Leiocritus, Euryades, Peisander, Eurynomus, and Demoptolemus background characters, or are they just not mentioned in the musical?

They are background characters, serving as part of the suitor ensemble—the visual embodiment of excess, arrogance, and the slow decay of the palace’s soul. Elatus gets a few lines; others might get namedropped in chaos scenes. Think Hamilton’s background ensemble—they exist, they matter visually, but they’re not given arcs.

3. Will it be as graphic as the Odyssey, or will it be a bit toned down?

Graphic as the Odyssey.

4. Is the ending of the musical when Odysseus comes back and Amphinomus suffers his tragic end? Or is there another ending in mind?

Yes and no. The slaughter is the climax, but the emotional resolution lingers in the aftermath.

5. Why is Apollo in the musical? What role does he play?

Apollo appears largely through dreams, visions, inspiration, and song. He is the deity of foresight, music, plague, and terrible timing.

6. Are you going to play with Leodes’ visions of the future?

Yes. Subtly at first, then increasingly more intrusive. Apollo’s visions give Leodes poetic insight and cursed knowledge. He might even foresee Amphinomus’ death but be helpless to prevent it.

“Blood will spill across the hearth. I’ve seen it. I begged him not to come.”

7. How many songs do you have in mind?

Nineteen! :3

8. What’s the thing you’re struggling the most with?

Tone balance.

Keeping the comedic chaos while building toward emotional resonance and tragedy. Also, giving each character their moment without overwhelming the pacing.

9. How do you start your songwriting process?

Character POV. (What do they want? What are they hiding?)

Emotional arc (Start → Shift → Reveal)

Rhythmic hook or phrase.

Then build outward from voice, tone, and action.

10. Do any of the characters have leitmotifs or certain melodies that are associated with them?

Absolutely.

Amphinomus: A soft, uncertain, ascending melody—strings + flute, always interrupted.

Leodes: Lyre + distant harmony, echoing Apollo’s touch. Haunting. Gentle.

Antinous: Brassy, chaotic, off-rhythm—maybe even mocking the main theme.

The servants also get their own.

11. What made you choose Amphinomus as your muse?

Because he’s the wrong man in the wrong story—a good heart in a doomed crowd. He’s just aware enough to feel trapped, just smart enough to suffer, and just human enough to be heartbreakingly real.

12. Is there a potential alternate universe where everyone is actors. /j

…Yeah. There is a lot of fourth wall breaking so.

Suitors RP Account

Main Account : @phantombluego

Past year or so I've been collecting and writing down head canons/relations/backstories/actual character development for the suitors of Penelope, and it's about time I share them (since there's too much to draw alone lol)

This RP based account will be to answer any questions in character as any of the 15 suitors in the Odyssey, based from my versions of them ofc. All will be listed below!

Since there is 15 characters and not enough tumblr text colours, try leaving asks for one character per message for the sakes of not making everything confusing if you're able to <3

Ive never done tumblr rp before lol, so if any other rp accounts wanna interact? Go for it! Just let me know who ^^

GENERAL WARNING :

The suitors of Penelope are not good people, I will not be sugar-coating any of their behaviours in this blog. So do expect (under any circumstances if it comes up): - Period typical sexism/homophobia from certain suitors - Any explicit content (will have a suggestive warning on individual posts when needed) - Then generally violent/demeaning leaning comments towards other characters Below the cut will be basic intros to each of the 15 with the associated tags! Check out the pin on my main for designs

Antinous 25 y/o, described to be the youngest and most handsome of the suitors. Seems to have a weird attention seeking behaviour towards the prince... Friendly : Eurymachus, Amphinomus, Ctesippus, Amphinomus, Peisander Dislikes : Leodes, Agelaus, Polybus, Demoptolemus #🐺AntiRP

Eurymachus 27 y/o, the snake and slyest, will do anything to win favours and play nice to win over anyone's hand, even lying to the queens face. In love with his girlfriend, Melantho. Friendly : Antinous, Ctesippus, Eurynomus, Amphinomus, Polybus Dislikes : Leodes, Elatus, Amphimedon, Peisander #🐍EuryRP

Amphinomus 32 y/o, prince of Dulichium. The most genuine and nice suitor, he tries his best to stray the others away from violence whenever possible. Friendly : Everyone! Dislikes : Antinous... #🦦AmphiRP

Leodes 29 y/o, the priest of the suitors, forced to pray to Zeus that the king will never return home. In love with the queen rather than seeking power, guilt for being a suitor, and as a certain god haunting him with omens. Friendly : Elatus Dislikes : Everyone #🦉LeoRP

Ctesippus 30 y/o, suitor with the most vulgar tongue, if he has a thought he will say it. Devote follower to Antinous' lead, enjoys a lot of mockery of everyone around him. Also the richest, somehow. Friendly : Antinous, Amphimedon, Eurynomus, Eurymachus, Amphinomus, Leiocritus Dislikes : Leodes, Agelaus, Elatus #🦜CteRP

Eurynomus 32 y/o, a simple farm boy turned suitor while grieving his late brother. Seeking the role of king out of a sense of longing and importance rather than power like the others. Friendly : Amphimedon, Eurymachus, Amphimedon, Euryades Dislikes : Leodes #🐎NomusRP

Amphimedon 33 y/o, a foul fellow with a love for food and wine, constantly drunk. In as a suitor for the love of the chase. Has a bit of a tendency to get around the 12 maids that betrayed the house. Friendly : Eurynomus, Ctesippus, Antinous, Eurymachus Dislikes : Leodes, Eurydamas, Leiocritus #🐖MedonRP

Leiocritus 36 y/o, a loud mouth and rather arrogant, not afraid to speak his mind and play bets. Also the most flamboyant and out there, very open about his interests. Random fun fact he died to Telemachus stabbing a spear up his ass. Friendly : Eurydamas, Elatus, Leodes (sometimes), Eurymachus Dislikes : Agelaus, Polybus, Peisander, Antinous (sometimes) #🐊LeiRP

Elatus 34 y/o, one of the more average people at first sight, but he's a little weird under the surface. He's the sports guy, being pretty athletically built. He would never push boundaries. Friendly : Leodes, Eurydamas, Leiocritus, Amphinomus, Euryades Dislikes : Agelaus, Eurymachus #🐦‍⬛ElaRP

Eurydamas 35 y/o, the shyest and quietest suitor, he rather not speak often and tries his best to melt into the background. He cares for the palace and it's resident, disliking how the ruder suitors treated them. Friendly : Leiocritus, Elatus, Euryades, Eurynomus, Demoptolemus Dislikes : Leodes, Antinous, Ctesippus, Amphimedon, Agelaus, Eurymachus, Polybus #🐢DamasRP

Euryades 38 y/o, true neutral, hard to read. An ex soldier that followed his mentor (Demo) around, once a servant of the Dulchium palace. Trained in fighting but never uses it. Treated the palace like a warzone to survive than a place to win the queens hand. Friendly : Demoptolemus, Amphinomus Dislikes : No one #🐂AdesRP

Demoptolemus 52 y/o, the tallest suitor yet one of the most respectful. Gentle giant type, he tried to look after Telemachus and his prince Amphinomus. he fought alongside Odysseus once and sacrificed his arm to protect the king. Friendly : Everyone Dislikes : No one #🫎DemoRP

Polybus 49 y/o, like father like son, similar to Eurymachus he is a snake, spreading lies and manipulating whoever he can to win favours. He comes off as kind to new people but everyone who knows him knows he's lying. Seems to be known that he helped in raising Antinous... Friendly : Eurymachus, Peisander, Agelaus, Antinous Dislikes : Everyone else #🦊PolyRP

Peisander 47 y/o, unlike his half brother Polybus, he is more blunt. Less on the brainy side of the family and took training to be a soldier seriously. The strongest and scariest of them all, constant blank expression and a glare that drives daggers into whoever he looks at. Friendly : Antinous, Polybus, Agelaus, Eurymachus, Demoptolemus, Euryades Dislikes : No one #🦈PeiRP

Agelaus 54 y/o, the oldest suitor and one that enjoys sticking to tradition as much as possible. He despises the queen and her taking time, being very open that she should remarry faster. Also has a very odd and excessive hatred for Antinous for reasons that seem to be only because he's in the spotlight. Friendly : Polybus, Peisander Dislikes : Antinous, and everyone else #🦨AgeRP

[king-lafayette]

John William Waterhouse - Penelope and the Suitors

In Homer's Odyssey, Penelope is the wife of Odysseus, who is known for her fidelity to Odysseus while he was absent, despite having many suitors. Her name has therefore been traditionally associated with marital fidelity.

Penelope is the wife of the main character, the king of Ithaca, Odysseus (Ulysses in Roman mythology), and daughter of Icarius of Sparta and his wife Periboea. She only has one son by Odysseus, Telemachus, who was born just before Odysseus was called to fight in the Trojan War. She waits twenty years for the final return of her husband, during which she devises various strategies to delay marrying one of the 108 suitors (led by Antinous and including Agelaus, Amphinomus, Ctessippus, Demoptolemus, Elatus, Euryades, Eurymachus and Peisandros).

On Odysseus's return, disguised as an old beggar, he finds that Penelope has remained faithful. She has devised tricks to delay her suitors, one of which is to pretend to be weaving a burial shroud for Odysseus's elderly father Laertes and claiming that she will choose a suitor when she has finished. Every night for three years, she undoes part of the shroud, until Melantho, one of twelve unfaithful slave women, discovers her chicanery and reveals it to the suitors.

Because of her efforts to put off remarriage, Penelope is often seen as a symbol of connubial fidelity. But because Athena wants her "to show herself to the wooers, that she might set their hearts a-flutter and win greater honor from her husband and her son than heretofore"

(Naiad Amphinomus Anon)

Also do you have any Euryades or Peisander headcanons?

🥺🥺🥺

(literally one of my favorites)

Omgs I get to yap about my boys again :3

PEISANDER

I love this guy so much, unfortunately in canon he doesn’t do much though, so everything I have about him is totally HCs LMAO. Though, in the Odyssey, he’s known to have offered a necklace to Penelope, born and lived in Ithaca, died to the worker Philoetius by a spear. He’s also described as a prince, which I believe means he was pretty attractive, not an actual prince. In some cases also told to be brother to Polybus, but I can’t find where that came from so idk! I keep it, making them half brothers

I thought about him compared to a lot of the others you may have to bear with, but I’ll try keep it short enough with the bullet points HAHA

- Backstory / family : Shares a father with Polybus, half brothers. Lived together, grew up together. He’s the younger brother of the two by 2 years (he’s 47, Polybus is 49). Had a strong relationship with his father and got along well with his step-mother (their father stayed with Polybus’ mother). He was a complete follower of his brother, since he wasn’t as smart as the guy, and always trusted his judgement

- He’s always been the quiet type, he’d stand around and stare at people. Resting bitch face, but if he’s actually talked to he’s nice as hell, reasonable and level headed. Despite looking terrifying. Trained since the day he dreamed to be apart of the Ithaca military, which added to the “scariness” with his muscle. And his height, being 194cm (6’4 in American)

- Assisted in the pirate raid of Cephallenia with the other older suitors, he was the youngest soldier there since he practically snuck in, that’s where the scars in his design come from. He was pretty mutual with Odysseus at this time, but wasn’t trusted since he followed his as whole brothers lead.

- When Eurymachus was born, he was always around the kid. As he got older they fell apart, since he was all “I can show you how to fight!!” and Eurymachus wasn’t interested. He ended being the cool uncle to Antinous instead, training him and teaching him how to survive and fight

- As a suitor, he wasn’t there for love, he wasn’t actually interested in Penelope. He was there mostly for his brother and to meet other soldiers or other interested in training, unbeatable in the suitors sparring, declared champion. Antinous even lost to him, unsurprisingly.

- Fighting against Odysseus upon the kings return was more self defence instinct, otherwise he probably would’ve been peaceful. Nonetheless still would’ve been killed for his loyalty to Polybus, and Antinous during the suitors situation

- Close friends to the other older suitors: Polybus, Demoptolemus and Agelaus. Getting along better with Euryades and Demptolemus in general due to their more military/fighting backgrounds

- Rough during fights but after he always makes sure the other isn’t badly injured, and gets them help if they need it

- guy also just loves fish, random fact ig. If it was modern he’d kill to have sushi

EURYADES

This is gonna be so short compared to Peisander lol. Also due to the fact he’s so little known he’s completely forgotten about the most cause there is no information on him online <//3 (still better than Eurynomus, that guy didn’t even get a canonical death)

Canonically, all we know is that he died to Telemachus.

Hcs wise though, I make him a lot more fun, I hope at least:

- Backstory / Family : Don’t have much, but I HC that he comes from Dulichium. He had a loving family with both parents alive, they were fully supportive of their kid and just generally good people. He actually wanted to go into theatre or arts but being introverted as hell, it scared him, so despite all the acting practise he’d do privately, he ended up training for soldier work instead to be more normal.

- During the training he met Demoptolemus, who took the younger trainee under his wing to guide him. When Demo went off to the pirate raid, he was still too young to go him, but was determined to fight so he went to try “prove himself”, which ended with him getting severely wounded, went missing for a few days, and landed with the scars he has in my design for him, before he got home. Not even winning the fight with the wild animals he tried to challenge, considering there were several of them. Can imagine he got lectured by Demo and his parents when the guy returned

- After his little fight and becoming a suitor of Penelope, he was way more quiet than normal. He just tried to get by, if someone talked to him he’d talk back, but keep it short. He wasn’t that bothered by the actions of those around him, he chose to ignore the majority, finding comfort in hanging around the one guy he can trust (Demo) and the only reason he left home to try the queens hand

- Didn’t support the actions of Antinous or Eurymachus, probably was pretty neutral with his prince Amphinomus

- was so quiet around the suitors people just forgot he existed sometimes, guy blends into the background, no doubt people didn’t even know his name at either

[phantombluego]

(Naiad Amphinomus Anon)

Also how would all your suitors laugh?

If you can’t tell, they’re filling my brain and I need more content to bounce my neurons off of/lh

Oh brother this is a good question, I've never researched into laughs this much HAHA, I'll take a good try at it and hope it answers!

Antinous, Agelaus and Amphimedon I'd think have a good hearty laugh, it's loud and sort of obnoxious. When they laugh you can easily tell its them

Eurymachus and Polybus, father like son, have more snickers, subtle but mean girl energy

Ctesippus has a posh laugh, he stands out too much with it

Amphinomus, Eurynomus and Leodes I'd guess just an average laugh, nothing loud or too out there, just a nice chuckle

Euryades, Demoptolemus and Peisander have chortles, quieter and barely noticeable. Very breath-y

Elatus, doing him dirty here, but he's got a snort to his laugh, he can't laugh too much or he'll cut off his breathing

Leiocritus I'd say is like a tea kettle, he's wheezing and hitting the table

Eurydamas, against his quieter nature, has like an outburst of giggling. Then his own laugh would make him laugh more and he'd be trapped in a loop

[sillypuppetmeister]

how many men have you kissed antinous. just research.. haha. and the names.. and how many times…..

ctesippus eurymachus telemachus agelaus amphimedon elatus amphinomus ctesippus of ithaca (once.. i prefer the one from Same).. deptolemus… euryades.. know what? just refer to https://www.tumblr.com/sillypuppetmeister/760719642132086784/top-5-men-you-want-to-kiss

[phantombluego]

(Naiad Amphinomus Anon)

Also my suitors’ animals are like so

Agelaus: Bear

Polybus: Fox

Peisander: ???

Demoptolemus: ???? (need a sea predator)

Euryades: ???

Ctesippus: A tiger? or other big cat

Eurynomus: Panther

Amphimedon: Lion or pig

Leiocritus: Crocodile

Eurydamas: Alligator

Leodes: Vulture/Eagle

Elatus: Weasel

Eurymachus: Snake

Antinous: Lion/wolf

All these animals are associated with villains, carnivores, and predators.

Ooo I love these so much!! Going for that as the themes is so fitting considering they are just the suitors, they’re the villains so they should reflect that.

Also Elatus as a weasel? I love that so much. He’d totally act like that weasel in Zootopia, that’s so fitting
