Thinking about how Odysseus carved the wedding bed out of an olive tree, which means the bed is rooted in the ground.
Thinking about the line “You don’t think I know my own palace? I built it!”.
Thinking about the fact that Odysseus built his entire palace around that olive tree, his and Penelope’s wedding bed, a symbol of their love.
Odysseus’ world is literally built around his love for Penelope.
…..i’m not crying, i just have an odypen in my eye.

I was playing animal crossing w my boyfriend and he pointed out how that game also had a sort of father figure with twins under his care so uh

How about the "I heard today is telemachus birthday" Au
The suitors are actually nice, and just help penelope around with Telemachus and the kingdom
Odysseus is red with anger just to com home and everyone is helping penelope plan a birthday party to his son and helping her with ithaca while he is gone.
No bloodshed
And he gets to see penelope again and they have their emotional meeting.
The suitors are like
"SO THE KING IS ALIVE"
"I told you we should have belived the queen"
"Telemachus will be so happy to see you here"
"HEY, it became a legend that only you could string that old bow, since then everyohe tried but no one could do, can you show us?"
"Hey, let the king have a moment with his wife, they havent seen eachother in 20 years"
"Hey you two can have your moment alone, we will warn when we see your son boat on the horizon"
And then on their room
"What was that?"
"Oh yeah, telemachus' friends,they are pretty nice, they helped us around the palace."
And odysseus is like: ":0"
Not so rare frame of Odysseus having to count how many years he has been away from home
"Odysseus" showed us how much Ody has truly changed.
He's compared to almost all monsters in the musical during that one song.
His name's chanting is the same as Polyphemus', and he acts a little like him when he decides to kill everyone.
Po - ly - phe - mus ("Enough")
O - dy - sse - us ("I. Have had. Enough")
He aims for the torches just like Scylla.
"Eurylochus, light up six torches"
"Keep your head down he's aiming for the torches"
He rejected forgivness just like Poseidon did.
"Maybe you could learn to forgive..."
"No"
"Old king our leader's dead. You've destroyed the serpent's head. Now the rest of us are no longer a threat. Old king forgive us instead, so that no more blood is shed. Let's have open arms instead!"
"No."
Also, there's an electric guitar in the song. It represents Odysseus' cunning and ruthless nature.
He IS a monster. But that's what got him home. And he'll embrace this side of him.
