#meanwhile Odysseus and Penelope are just staring at each other having entire silent conversations and there’s SO MUCH HISTORY there

[hamletteprinceofdenmark]

I just … the scene after Odysseus reveals himself to Penelope and she’s still so cautious and untrusting and you can tell that makes him love her More because only a woman who was deeply skeptical and clever and his match could ever truly be the one he loves (and who loves him back! Wily Odysseus the Trickster and his Clever Wife Penelope!!!)
