telemachus and the suitors
the suitors burst up and started shouting and saying they wanted to bang penelope, but brave telemachus told them all to shut up and said “for those of you who date my mum, you sure are acting like a bunch of dumb ass’s ok. yea you can eat your food and drink your grogg but shut up and do it quietly because i like this song, oh yea and in the morning i’m calling an assembaly so get some sleep because i’m dam sick and tired of all you greedy suitors comming in and making a fuss, eating all the dam food and wine so you can go and get the hades out ok, go eat your food in someone elses house cause if you don’t i pray that zeus makes restitution for me by destroying you, your house and your dog,” all the suitors were bewildered by this sudden shift in tone and it was a long time before they spoke until Antinous, eupeithes’ son spat back ‘hay you, you can’t talk to me like that, who taught you to speak like that, aye, the god’s? as you are Odysseues’ son you inherit this place, but dam me if you become it’s king” “antionus” said telemachus “it may disapoint you to learn that i would gladly accept the roll of king from zeus, are you saying that thats the worse thing that could happen to me, to more power and athority, it’s not bad to be king, it just that the archeans are simply rank with princes, the’re everywhere like a swarm! but i will succed him as i am master of this house” this time Eurymachus answered telemachus “the gods decide who is to be our king, keep your belongings and be master of this house by all means, i an’t gona stop you, but what of your guest, who is it and where did they come from?” telemachus replied “he was mentes, son of Anchialus and cheiftain of the sea-fairing taphians,”
