The Odyssey, but if Odysseus just got to stay home and chill with his son and goddess bestie.
been obsessing over this musical project lately.
Can't stop imagining the moments Odysseus missed. Little mischievous joys, teaching moments etc. In this scene, Odysseus teaches Telemachus how to braid hair and Athena shares profound wisdom with two of her favorite mortals.

Isn't it freaking adorable how both Odysseus and Penelope could remember down to exact detail what clothing she had packed for Odysseus before he left for war even 20 years later?!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And she packed them herself. She didn't use the help of any servant or slave to do it. She wanted to prepare her husband herself. What is even more is that all the clothes were of vibrant colors which had me thinking;
What if Penelope deliberately prepared vibrant colored clothes for Odysseus solely so that she could see him from afar for as long as possible?! And man I can so imagine her doing the same! Like standing on the top of the hill where the palace is, wearing a vibrant dress that floats in the wind, holding baby Telemachus in her arms and watch Odysseus's bright tunic on the ship and Odysseus turning his head to look up at that aetherial figure on the hill almost leaning over the ship to see her JUST FOR A LITTLE LONGER until he cannot see her anymore and this is where he keeps looking at his island becoming smaller and smaller to the horizon, shedding tears of goodbye
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Man ninjas are cutting onions around me again!!!

AITA for killing 108 men then insulting their parents?
I know the title looks bad but let me explain, l(45M) am married to my wife(45F), Penelope. After a war, l tried to reunite with her, it took me 20 years but l got back to my home in Ithaca. When l arrived there, 108 men were not only trying to marry my wife by claiming my death but also eating my food and disrespecting my son(21M). I was wearing a beggers disguise thanks to my patron goddess(??F) but l revealed myself to my son and we reunited. l talked with my wife and she held a contest to see who would string my bow and shoot through 12 axes, she then went to sleep and l won the contest. After winning l got rid of the disguise and started to kill the suitors with my son, then l reunited with my wife but the suitors' parents were upset. Then my patron goddess came and convinced the parents not to kill me, after they obeyed her(like a little bitch) l started to make fun of them and my dad(idkM) said l was being disrespectful, so AITA?

Pallas Athena and the Herdsman's Dogs by Briton Rivière
Then drew she nigh, in shape a stately dame,
Graced with all noble gifts of womanhood:
None save Odysseus saw her; for to few
Of mortal birth the gods reveal themselves.
But the dogs knew her coming, and with whine
And whimpering crouched aloof.

I lost my wallet a few days ago, found it, but had already cancelled my card, so until my cashapp card comes in the mail I've found myself in the peculiar position of being able to pay to see bands at the local bar, but nothing else. So that's what I've been doing, lol
After the show Friday night there was nothing in the food donation boxes but one can of noodle soup, so a nice old hobo taught me that if you're very hungry you can eat clovers (we found some blackberries as well.)
