Chapter 21

[Jason]

Telegonus returns, and with some grave news. There's some excellent tension constructed between Penelope and Telemachus and Circe, and a nice reveal on the true virtue of Odysseus. I liked this passage, at the end of a moment of between Penelope and Circe, as they both find strength in each other. "It is a common saying that women are delicate creatures. Flowers, eggs, anything that may be crushed in a moments carelessness. If I had ever believed it, I no longer did."
