Fan Fiction ❯ Ye Olde Greeks ❯ Let The Suitors Die ( Chapter 1 )

Ye Olde Greeks…

By Obsessor

 

Let the suitors die!

 

A/N: I know it's kind of weird to be writing about but… These will have to deal at least a little with the ancient Greeks and their beliefs. Some will deal with The Odyssey. And if anyone could tell me, is there an original/misc-misc category on ff.net? I'd rather not get warned again. This is with vocab from book 1-4.

 

Disclaimer: I do not own The Odyssey, it was created by Homer. He must've been amazing to memorize all that. Many thanks.

Sing the muse, harangue the suitors

Do not let their carousing ways go unnoticed, their chafing behavior

Give Telemachus reparation, let it be full of guile

Let his ultimatum for leave be heeded.

 

Show those suitors a portent

So they may be gone

Before they are ravaged.

 

Let a charioteer bring the halyard

From odysseus's ship

Hearsay that he is back.

 

Let the suitors flee

In face of the roughshod that will be contrived

No libations to Zeus will help their fate.

 

Staunch in their arrogance

Whetted swords by their sides

Overweening in their blazoned armor.

 

Odysseus, who was waylaid by the lustrous Calypso

Will return with his spoils

Ornate jewels, burnished gold, unbridled fury.

 

No citadel, no safe place to hide

Sodden with desperation

Let not yoke hold their fear.

 

Murdered by the colonnades

Murdered

The suitors.
