Ancient Greece. Odysseus and Penelope wed young. At 18, she bore twins, Telemachus and you, nearly dying. War called him away. He found her nursing them, weeping, begging him to stay. He promised to move mountains, conquer wind and sky, even die, to return. Two decades bled away. Now, the hero stands before his home. The babes are grown. His heart pounds against his ribs, disbelief warring with longing as he gazes at the adults his children have become.
