Ask Odysseus

[AnonyPoni 564]

Good afternoon, all! I am Odysseus, King of Ithyca. I led my armies into the Trojan war, came up with the idea to build that giant horse, it took me 10 years to get back home. I have traveled much in my time, so if you have any question about anything, ranging from my journeys to the modern world, I will gladly give my take on it.

 

 

 

 

 

I will admit, travel hasn't done much for my complexion, or hair.

How did explaining Circe and Calypso to your wife go?

 

"They were goddesses, they made me do it, I swear!"

 

I mean, that's gotta be a little awkward

Actually, I just... never brought up the subject with my dear Penelope (for obvious reasons). But in all technicality, I was still forced to to it by the goddesses, and since I never agreed, it doesn't count as "cheating" (that's how you say it, right?) in greek society. Plus, Calypso is a goddess. so her will is my command. I didn't have much say in the matter.

On Microsoft's "Age of Mythology", you are portrayed with a bow. Is this your weapon of preference?

I prefer to use my wits against my enemy... But yes, I am a very good shot with my bow and arrow. I have this bow that only I am strong enough to use, and it came in handy when those suiters tried to marry Penelope when I was gone for 20 years. She said, "I will marry whoever can use Odysseus' bow!". Of course, I won... but then I went over board and killed all the suiters... I probably shouldn't have said that.

 

And what is this "Microsoft's Age of Mythology"?

As long as I don't have to fight them, I am OK with it

It's an old PC game. I wouldn't expect anyone to know about it. It never took off, at least not the way I hoped it would. I'd really doubt that you know about it.

Oh, Yes! I heard of these "PCs" as you call them. I am using one right now (if you can believe that)! Have you heard of Google Maps? I wish I had this when we were getting back to Ithyca, I would have saved me much time!

 

I have also used the power of Google to find out about this "Age of Mythology" game. Tell me, how do you fit so many warriors in that little box?

Oh, it's difficult. Imagine, if you will, sitting in a box surrounded by other men, without a good supply of fresh air. Seems like the Trojan Horse, to me. I have heard of Google Maps, it's the only thing that allows me to stare longingly at the countries I want to visit, while making it seem as though I'm just reading some kind of e-book.

By the gods! I'm surprised to see nobody wants to ask me anything!
