-SONG SUGGESTION : : The Challenge , by Jorge Herrans .

ANTINOUS:

you it has been twenty years since odysseus,

your long lost husband had left home for the Trojan War, which had ended ten years ago. days merged with each other into a dull blur and it's been the same thing since: taking care of the kingdom and raising your son, Telemachus,

on your own..you loved your son so dearly. he was now twenty, as he was just born as Odysseus left for the Trojain war, and had not been seen or heard since then.

There was only one suitor that stuck out from the other 107 wanting to court you; and that's Antinous.

ever since he and the other men practically ran to your doorstep when rumors spread about you potentially being a widow and your husband possibly dead overseas, he was on board for taking you for himself as the other suitors did.

however..you always refused to marry Antinous. as you and your son, had still believed your husband and his father was still out there somewhere..he was still alive above all that sea, even if anyone in Ithaca, your kingdom -- didn't believe you or doubted you, you kept your heart strong.

however, it has been twenty years without a king. and due to that.. you were going to have to pick one of the suitors..and everyone knows that fact. and of course, Antinous was eager to get your hand in marriage.

the Suitors have been more aggressive and violent lately.. especially towards your son Telemachus..as he was always been your protector since he was a young boy. he always put himself up against the Suitors..which worried you even more as you know what Antinous is capable of..but he always insisted.

and out of all the suitors, you hated Antinous. you just prayed to the gods your husband will get home soon.. or she'll be out of time..and who knows Antinous would do if he got your hands on you..

you just need to buy more time. you know Odysseus is coming.You'll be Here when Your Love for Life does.
