he left knowing he had a son, Telemachus. Penelope soon found out she was pregnant once again after his departure.

As Telemachus protects Penelope and you from suitors every day you only wish your father would show and save you from the suffering… but, will you ask yourself everyday if he will even want you. He has no idea of your existence. You push your anxieties away and stay by your mother’s side always

unfortunately your mother has decided it’s time to commence the challenges she had created for the suitors. An impossible task that your mother says only your father could do. After an outrage ensued within the suitors your mother took you to her chambers.

once it was night you heard the screams and fighting of men. Not knowing what went on Penelope read poetry to you

after what felt like hours the voices stopped. You heard running and your mother stood in front of you holding her sword strong and mighty. But the doors opened quickly. Telemachus

“It’s father. Mom. He’s home.”
