Tw Blood And Gore Maybe, But Lots Of Blood Odysseus Rage

hi hello i’ve seen far too many people find out about the telegony and be devastated that the odyssey’s happy ending does not remain happy for long.

so.

the telegony is not canon. it was not written by homer. some wannabe called eugammon of cyrene wrote it. telegonus was a character from one of hesiod’s works (not homer’s) and he’s never mentioned in the odyssey. eugammon just decided to make him odysseus’s son with circe because why not.

the telegony directly contradicts the ending of the odyssey in which odysseus and penelope grow old and die together. ALSO. odysseus’s bloodline cannot have more than one than one male heir per generation. some ancestor of his was cursed by a god. so that makes telegonus’s existence impossible. if odysseus ever had a kid with circe (which he didn’t in canon) it would have had to be a girl.

homer was long dead when eugammon was like. telegonus is gonna kill his dad and bring his step family to his mom’s island, marry his stepmother while is half-brother marries his mother. never happened. this is ancient fanfiction.

TL;DR : feel free to entirely ignore the existence of the telegony; it’s what i’ve always done anyway.

BRACE FOR THE STORM!

Okay I have a vision. Odysseus literally JUST woke up after getting top surgery, and he's feeling pretty loopy and he's also like half-asleep so he thinks Penelope is someone else😭

Odysseus: "my wife, she'll get upset if she sees you touching me like that on my chest.."

Penelope: "I am your wife."

Machine starts beeping

Odysseus: "What's up? ;)"

Penelope laughs

My entire musical taste revolves around these two. I'm not complaining; I love listening to it with edits

i told yall i wanted to see it

CHARACTER INSTRUMENTS:

Nausicaa is a flute.

Athena is a piano with a mix of strings.

Telemachus is a lyre mixed with a viola.

Artemis is woodwind instrument. (Flute or Oboe)

Odysseus: Cello

Penelope: A harp.

Peisistratus: Trombone

The others are still being decided but these are the ideas!
