#i avoiding saying “go” because Odysseus wouldnt want to go anywhere after the Odyssey i think

[silverorchideon]

Do you think King Odysseus had a balcony overlooking the sea? A sea once so peaceful, of water lapping at the shores. Do you think he once saw beauty in it?

Do you think that Odysseus stared out at the sea during his odyssey, a reminder of home? Do you think he heard the waves and thought of sitting on his balcony with Penelope? Do you think his view is forever painted with grief and suffering after coming home?

Sketches under the cut

I wasn't planning on actually painting these, but...

Do you think that Odysseus would want to remain still? To go somewhere would be to leave, and whose to say he wouldn't be sent on another odyssey? Could he handle being separated from his family for yet another adventure? How much longer until he breaks?
