How They Came To Ithaca Guest Blogger: Telémakhos

Today, I was told to leave this place of hospitality on Lakedaimon by Athena. So my crew and I set off... and we were on our way. When I arrived, she told me that I was to go to the shack in the woods... to the old swineherd. There I was to remain while Eumaios went to Penelopê to tell her of the whereabouts of her beloved son. I was fine and I wanted my mother to know it.

I heard that my mother was destined to marry. When I found out my heart sank... for that meant that a whole new life was about to begin for our family... without my father. Is this how things should be? Why? Is this the right thing? Maybe this is a sign... that we need to move on with our lives... to start something new.

P.S.- I found a song that might indeed be the start of something new for us...
