(strength, endurance, loyalty, protectiveness, but also volatility and destructive rage)
1. Strong, imposing, disciplined — the ideal warrior
Magnes is one of the most physically powerful suitors.
• with a presence that fills a room.
He was raised with the mindset of a traditional Greek warrior:
honor, strength, discipline, and the belief that a man’s worth is proven in battle.
He walks with the confident heaviness of someone who knows he can break bones with his bare hands.
2. A widower marked by grief
Before competing for Penelope, Magnes was married to a young woman he genuinely loved.
She became pregnant — their first child — but she tragically died from illness before giving birth.
• and the future he imagined.
He carries a quiet, heavy sadness, buried under his warrior-like stoicism.
• he longs for a family again,
• he seeks a purpose to replace the one death tore away.
Penelope represents power, but even the chance to rebuild a life.
3. Loyal, protective — until provoked
…but only until someone pushes him too far.
He has a dangerous switch:
when provoked, insulted, or humiliated, he can burst into sudden, overwhelming rage.
His anger is not childish — it is violent, destructive, and terrifying.
Most suitors know not to corner him because he stops thinking logically when he snaps.
4. The duality of the bull
His strengths and flaws are inseparable:
+ Loyalty → can turn into obsession
+ Strength → can turn into brutality
+ Courage → can turn into recklessness
+ Passion → can turn into rage
Magnes is a man who tries desperately to stay calm
because he knows what he becomes when he loses control.
The Bull Symbolism in Him
• Hooves on stone — his heavy, grounded presence.
• Snorting breath — the way he tries to calm himself when anger rises.
• Lowered horns — the instinct to protect or attack.
• Unspoken grief — the animal mourning for what he has lost.
The bull makes him noble, tragic, and dangerous.
