Check it suitors!! I beat you all in Penelope’s challenge and there is n-o-t-h-i-n-g you can do about it!! What’s that you want me to recap yesterday? Gladly. When I wake up in the morning, I realize that I can’t take my secret anymore, it has to be let out…I have to tell SOMEONE about it otherwise I will go crazzzyyy! I finally decide that it would make the most sense for Eumaios and Philoitios to be the one’s I share it with, considering there extreme loyalty to me over the past few weeks. Anyways, this part of my day was completely lame compared to what happens next, so let me fill you in…The day begins with Athena and Penelope discussing an appropriate challenge for the suitors to win my poor wife’s heart. The two women then go and retrieve my coveted bow from the stockroom, announcing that anyone who can string it and shoot an arrow through a line of 12 axes shall be the husband of Lady Penelope. Suitor’s of all shapes and sizes try and all fail, even our son Telemekhos has no luck. And remember that fateful suitor, Antinoos? He suggests that we take a break, make a sacrifice to archer god Apollo (please, like THAT will help him??) and continue the games later. Still disguised, I ask Anitnoos politely for the bow, much to his dismay. Keeping my cool as he ridiculed me, calling me a “drunk” and saying that I would never succeed, I neatly shot all arrows through the axes, with ridiculously good accuracy (like you would expect anything else from the Great Odysseus, right?)
Cya soon!
