ONG ODYSSEY TELEMACHUS WAS SO GIRLBOSS-

SPEAK YO TRUTH KINGGGGGGG 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[official-english-major]

Telemachus's life post-Odyssey has the potential to be so funny bc bro is suddenly going from the son of, essentially, a single mom to the son of two VERY in-love middle aged sweethearts who never had to learn boundaries about what is/isn't appropriate to say around their kid.

Penelope: I knew that "beggar" was you the whole time, you know.

Odysseus, laughing: Oh, really?

Penelope: You can disguise a lot of things, but I'd know that ass anywhere.

Telemachus: I am begging you guys to keep it in your pants for ONE family dinner.

Achilles: I-

Odysseus: I think I know more about having ideas than you do, genius

[poppitron360]

You can tell how much Odysseus wants to go back and be a father to Telemachus when he tells the cyclops “I’m so glad we see eye to eye.”

Like dude’s been practicing his dad jokes he is READY-

You know what ? The idea that Odysseus discovered his mother's death by finding her ghost in the Underworld gains a new, even more sad dimension if you assume that Epic follows the canon prescribed by some interpretations of the Odyssey, because according to some version of the story, she didn't just die of grief - she died by walking into the sea after seeing Aeolus' storms blow Odyseus' ships away from shore

Not only did Odysseus' crew get him lost at sea yet again, but they also killed his mom
