Your gateway to endless inspiration
Hear me out
So Tiresias said “I see you draw your final breath, I see a man who gets to make it home alive, but it’s no longer you”
Odysseus has already drawn his final breath
Whoever is going to kill the suiters is not Odysseus, or at least not the same one.
Whoever will return to Penelope and Telemachus isn’t the same Odysseus who hesitated to kill a cyclops, they aren’t the same Odysseus who escaped Circe’s wrath by talking about his wife.
A monster will return to Ithaca
But Odysseus has already died on the journey to there
Idk if he died at the end of monster, due to different beast, or in those seven years with Calypso, but the Odysseus who heard that prophecy isn’t here anymore.
He has already drawn his final breath.
(Idk if anyone alr tought of this but i started thinking of this at dinner and was like holy shit so i had to share)
