Don't look for any context in this, it's a reference from The Twentieth Century (2019)

I Can’t Help But Wonder

Odysseus, who just violently and mercilessly murdered 108 or so men, who claims in the next song that he’s no longer a kind or gentle man, actively listens to Telemachus and kindly and gently responds to everything his son’s expressed.

Telemachus asks, “Am I like you? Am I strong like you? Will you embrace me? Will you love and accept me as yours?” He says, “I’ve felt so alone.”

And Odysseus claims him in a heartbeat, answering, “My son. My boy. My sweetest joy I’ve ever known. I embraced you twenty years ago. I’d do the impossible for you. I’d die for you.” He says, “Seeing the men here today, I can only wonder what you’ve been through for twenty years. My son, you’re already strong. You’re my own. You’re not alone. I’m home.”

And then they fucking embrace.

Imagine the first thing you ever hear your father say is: "mercy? mercy? my mercy has long since drowned, it died to bring me home" etc

But then after you finish your first father-son-activity (killing the 108 men who personally wronged you) the first thing he ever truly says to you is: "oh my son look how much you've grown, oh my boy sweetest joy I've known" etc

It was published in 1984 and the price at which it was sold is written on the back: 2 rubles, 90 kopecks.
