This also happens when they’re fishing:

Telemachus: father why aren’t there any fish biting? am I doing it wrong? (sad fatherless son noises)

Odysseus: oh no no, two seconds, it’s probably old bait

(Odysseus tying ‘new bait’ to the line, turning to face the sea)

Odysseus: big fish. now.

*after the events of the odyssey*

*telemachus and odysseus walking down to the docks, after odysseus said he'd go sailing with his son*

(listen the man had missed 20 years of his son's life, he could ask ody to dress in drag & do the hula and odysseus would already be shouting "LUAU" in a grass skirt before tele finished his sentence)

telemachus: i'm so excite- *looks ahead*

telemachus: *stops walking* oh no *sad noises*

odysseus: *still walking* what's wrong son?

telemachus: *points to the sea beyond ithaca's shores* poseidon must be angry today, look at the storm in the distance

odysseus: *looks ahead but without worry on his face* no need to worry, we can still go sailing, follow me

telemachus: *confused but follows his dad*

*both make it to the docks*

odysseus: you get started, i've just got something to do & then i'll join you on the ship

*telemachus hops on the ship and odysseus turns to face the sea*

odysseus: *red eyes activate* i'm. going. sailing. with . my. son.

*the sea storm dissipates in record speed*

odysseus: good.

odysseus: *red eyes deactivate*

odysseus: *turns to telemachus smiling like nothing happened* shall we go then?

telemachus: *happy but very confused*

telemachus: *mumbling to himself*what just happened?

I love Epic The Musical very dearly but I do wish just a little bit that we’d gotten to watch Telemachus’s antics in Pylos. His gay awakening(?) over Pesistratus? Athena disguised as an old man?? Nestor and Menelaus?! HELEN! He really has a bewildering time away from Ithaca lol

About mythological ships:

What is your OTP? (favorite romantic/sexual relationship)

What is your BROTP? (favorite platonic relationship)

What is your NOTP? (the opposite of OTP)

You can say more than one in each category if you want

How fun! Thank you for the ask! :D

For OTPS:

OdyPen and MenHelen (Helen x Menelaus) are my ultimate faves. I genuinely love them so much. They plague my thoughts constantly. They go on double dates.

for other ships that I enjoy: DioSthe and Patrochilles (QPR or romantic, I enjoy them either way), Ares x Aphrodite, Ariadne x Dionysus, Apollo x Hyacinthus, EROS X PSYCHE. Ctimene x Eurylochus, Laertes x Anticlea, Periboea x Icarius, Tyndarius x Leda, Andromeda x Perseus, Hector x Andromache, Telemachus x Polycaste, many many more but I DO enjoy these ones a lot :3

For BROTPS:

Penelope and Helen, (they are technically related but you know) Odysseus and Menelaus (THEY ARE HOMIES), Helen and Hector, The Virgin Goddesses definitely have brunch together (aroace icons), Ganymede and Hebe (you know they have so much gossip). The Achaeans as a whole, I love comradery. Telemachus and Pesistratus too.

For NOTPS:

OdyDio (I don't think I've ever hated a ship so much before, sorry not sorry lol. If you bring up pederasty, I'll kill you.), Helen x Paris/Deiphobus, Odysseus x Circe/Calypso, Hephaestus x Aphrodite, Odysseus x Polites (My Odysseus is Penromantic/Pensexual and my Polites is an AroAllo mad lad lol. they are homies though), Penelope x the suitors, (...ew :/ ) Penelope x Circe (EWWWW), Telemachus x Antinous. Anything with the Tele-GONE-y

That's my thoughts on Mythology ships for the most part :3 Thank you for the ask, Dear Anon!

I am a simple woman with simple wants:

1. To figure out why Pylades is in the Orestia for a reason other than gay

2. A Pisistratus/Telemachus Modern!AU chatfic where Pisistratus’ username is piss baby

[telemachus-of-ithika]

;; ' ..Pesistratus?! '

Telemachus opened his eyes, shocked and panicked, before looking around and his throat became dry.

;; ' Peisis-! '

;; ' THERE GOES MY BAAABBBYYYYY '

pesistratus kleisthenes ephialtes pericles isagorus hippias eyyyy macarena

[allbeendonebefore]

I love how when Herodotus introduces Pisistratus he has to have an aside that’s like “generally the Logic and Rationality and Cleverness and FREEDOM FROM SILLY FOOLISHNESS distinguishes the greeks from the rest, but this next thing he did is so silly and foolish I Cannot Believe he got called ‘the cunningest of the greeks’ after this”

[this is the bit when pesistratus finds a tall girl, dresses her up as Athena, and is like Please let me in the goddess Athena said it’s my turn to rule Athens]

[dithyramblover350]

Though Pesistratus is not the kindest ruler, I must say I am throughly enjoying the festivities taking place at “The City of Dionysia” are very fun and entertaining. I’m especially excited for the theatre competition to commence! 

[chucklingmaniacally]

TIL

That Pesistratus was a ruler of Ancient Athens who used to be a citizen. How did he become the ruler? He claimed he had been attacked, so the city let him have bodyguards. He then used his bodyguards to take over the city, becoming its ruler.

Seriously check out this guys Wikipedia page. It is awesome. Here-
