GUYS DO U KNOW WHAT I FOUND??
I wrote this like short story in the style of an epic (the poem style not the musical 😂) for literature a little while ago when we were reading the odyssey and it was about Telemachus and Penelope. AND NOW READING IT AGAIN THROUGH THE LENSE IF HAVING SEEN EPIC ITS KINDA CRAZY.
Here’s some snippets.

Telemachus: “She had done so much for him
But what he truly yearned for was his father. He wanted to meet this 
Myth of a man he was expected to live up to.”
(I am neither man nor mythical)

Penelope:
“Every thought held her captive in her mind. She had
No one to confide in, no one to turn to, all her tears
Were spilled alone in silence. Thoughts, fears, and
Worries consumed her being from the moment 
She awoke, to the moment she passed into peaceless
Void of Sleep. No matter how hard she prayed to the 
gods, unease and restlessness filled her soul. 
When would it end? When would the gods save
Her and end her suffering?”
(I can take the SUFFERING from youuu)

Antinous:
“We were just about to participate in some sports! 
Why don’t you join us?” Antinous exclaimed. 
“I don’t feel like it today, especially not with you. You
Overstay your welcome and yet you do not leave.” Telemachus answered coolly. 
“You never play the games with the men. Come on, boy!” 
Telemachus’s eyes flashed, “I’m not a boy.” 
“Of course you are. You are your mother’s little child. 
You're soft because of how you’ve been raised by her.
She’s a deceiving little thing, we know how she undoes 
The tapestry at night, and even when it was finished,
She refuses to pick a suitor. She avoids us the same 
way you avoid a fight!” Antinous mocked.
Telemachus stiffened in anger, “Be careful what you 
Say about the woman you’re trying to marry, Antinous.”
“I will say whatever I please. She will have to choose 
One of us eventually. You groan and complain about 
How we overstay our visit and eat all your food. It would
All end if she would just choose a husband! Now will
You be joining us or not?”
ITS BASICALLY “when’s your tramp of a mother gonna choose a new husband” and DONT YOU DARE CALL MY MOTHER A TRAMP” but a little less dramatic and more formal 😂 haha sorry for the long post…
