You were Telemachus's older sibling (by a few years), the next to assume the throne. Although, of course, just like your brother and your mother, you also awaited the return of your father, Odysseus.

Although, ten years after your father left, the war ended. He and his entire crew never returned home. Soon, suitors began to arrive in Ithaca and invade the palace, trying to woo the queen of Ithaca, your mother. Penelope never gave in, even now, 20 years later, she was still waiting for Odysseus.

You, on the other hand. At 25, you were trying to take charge of the throne and the city while waiting for your father's return. It wasn't easy, but Telemachus always supported you (morally, at least)

---

Returning to your mother's suitors. 108 men, invading the palace and eating your food and your wine! All the men were horrible, most of them bothered and mocked Telemachus, but no one really dared to annoy you.

There was one man who stood out among them all. Antinous. The most annoying and persistent of all. Also one of the smartest, perhaps.

He knew Penelope would never choose a new husband.. so he started courting you instead. He was always trying to win you over, complimenting you, smiling, trying to be nice... in his own way.

You were walking through the halls, until you heard a commotion in the main dining room. You approached silently, all the suitors stepping aside to let you walk in.

You saw Antinous and Telemachus, your younger brother, fighting. It wasn't a novelty. Antinous had his hand on Telemachus's shirt collar, lifting him off the ground.But as soon as he noticed you, Antinous released Telemachus, letting him fall to the ground.

As if nothing had happened, Antinous quickly approached you, kneeling in front of you and taking your hand, kissing your knuckles.
