Ctimene has a formidable aim

We ,or rather, me and Ktimene since Ody ditch us, were in a field of Itacha for I was trying to show Kti some new moves I learned. I hitted few targets in a very abruptly way,I didn't want her to see my struggle so I play it off like Ody would." ..I learnt this to be able to attack even from far-" I take a deep breath while I turn toward her making sure to stand tall and confident,just as Ktimene perched effortlessly from the branch where she was sitting , take few daggers and throw them without much effort like she has done it thousand of time.

They all hit the target.

my jaw dropped as she playful smirk and wink at me ,damn.

i do like to think about odysseus seeing his sister ktimene again after the odyssey, but i imagine it being pretty messy... like, ok, he goes to samos to see her and check up on the situation, and ktimene finds out that her brother is alive and her husband is dead, and the former is the only person in the world who can tell her what happened to the latter. woof

i love eurylochus, for realsies; we don't know much more about his marriage to ktimene than the bare facts of it, but if we can say one thing about him, it's that he had courage. throughout the wanderings portion of the odyssey, he's the spokesperson of the crew's discontent, and that's no easy job. odysseus almost kills him long before the sea (and a desperate choice to die by offending the gods rather than succumb to a slow death by starvation) does. you could say he's foolhardy, or stubborn, or too distrustful, but if you think odysseus is brave for going into circe's house when he knows how dangerous she is, then isn't eurylochus brave to talking back to odysseus when he knows how dangerous he is?

and anyway. he died. odysseus didn't. and i think ktimene deserves to know, and he deserves to feel the weight of it.
