Finding out Odysseus's maternal grandfather was Autolycus, a literal thief and son of Hermes, implies to me that he did not get his cunning from Laertes. It also makes me want to write about Autolycus and Anticlea as a father-daughter crime duo scamming all the rich and powerful of Ancient Greece. Because you can't tell me the man wouldn't have taught his daughter a thing or two.

#greek mythology #greek myth #odysseus #the odyssey #autolycus #anticlea #i'm just saying these characters are obscure/minor enough that you could get away with a few creative liberties #could even throw in some references and allusions to the odyssey if you're feeling fancy #maybe make some use of that grove from the final book of the odyssey
