ULYSSES
-RETURNED ALONE IN ITHACA
I never imagined
How would

Now the only
concern is
How to kill
the shameless Fiancees,
Who besieged
the faithful Penelope.

someone caved-flirts with him,
And secretly
visits her in our bed.
It is not

That his
master returned home.

For what

No barking

Immediately
I felt taller-prettier

ULYSSES-monologue
Breathe
deeply
From the
depths of my resigned soul.
How
you thought that I am
One of the
immortals of Olympus.
My child I
am your father
You suffered
much for me,
You raised
weights leaden
That did not
suit you
Because of
bad people.
45
RAPSODOS
Ulysses bent
and kissed his son
While crying
from joy.
Telemachus
did not believe him
She said
TILEMACHOS-SON
ULYSSES
Someone is
playing god with me
It makes me
ugly game.
You're not

And now you

And after
twenty years returned
At home.
Goddess
Athena - made me look beggar
And
transformed me
into a
handsome man with beautiful clothes.
RAPSODOS
His son
rushed into the arms - shocked
Crying like
small child.

His tears

RAPSODOS
When they
arrived outside the palace

Wagging his

FIMIOS-AOIDOS
-RAPSODOS- PALACE OF ITHACA
Resourceful
Penelope controlled Ithaca
Kept in
hands the Power.
Never did
not make back
Although
Suitors besieged the queen
Very
closely.
PENELOPE QUEEN-ITHACA
I took over
the affairs of the palace
Why
Telemachus is still a minor,
And my
father-in-law Laertes retired to estates
Mourning
the loss of his son.
To me fell
the burden of governance
Divine
Ulysses missing twenty years.
Let's say
the old man Egyptian
That the
country was leaderless
After he
left the king.
AIGYPTIOS-ITHAKISIOS

make that also Clytemnestra
To avoid a
power vacuum.
She married
her lover Aegisthus
To avenge
Agamemnon.

ANTINOOS-MNISTIRAS
Multimode
Penelope
How long
will you refuse to marry.
Turned to

And ask you
from this in Marriage.

she does nothing.
ANTIFIMOS-ITHAKISIOS

You must
choose one of the suitors
for man.
The
responsibilities are great
Proposed a
contest and whoever wins
Will become
king of Ithaca.
PENELOPE
No one
cannot say to me
what to do.
Alone I will
decide the prize.
Choosing the
test arc.
-Monologue-
Suitors will
be swept
the trap of death.
FIMIOS -
AOIDOS
-RAPSODOS OF PALACE OF ITHACA
Penelope
told her dream to beggar
It was
prophetic.
She saw in
her sleepa flock geese - the Suitors-
Then came a
wild eagle-her husband-
And killed
birds.
Ah! how many
cried the loss of birds.
48
ANDRONIKOS -
ITHAKISIOS
The queen
had the last word
This
engineered- thought the Fight οf Archery.
FIMIOS -
AOIDOS - RAPSODOS PALACE
Resourceful
Odysseus put the idea
in the
queen,
When he
talked to her as a beggar
Without
understand who is,
Did not reveal
his true identity.
Kleos-Grandeur
of Penelope was over
From other
women.
For twenty
years remained stable
At beliefs.
Not married
no one of the Fiancees..
ULYSSES - A
LAMENT OF PENELOPE
With what
longing asked
if her
husband lives.
A wordless
wail came
through the
bowels.
Broke out -
said
I never left
from my mind
I never
forgot him.
I'll wait
until he come back
in Ithaca.
Who listened
moved
with
difficulty I was kept
I do not
reveal myself.
I get no
sleep
Fortunately
Eurynome covered me with a cape
And
set from under beef skin.
Then think
of - devise plans
How to kill
the Fiancees.
Only
interrupts me the slaves
As they go
out
to sleep
with the shameless suitors.
With
difficulty I am kept- I do not kill them.
Patiently
enduring Odysseu
Waited for
so long.
Put your
mind to work
As made so
much, and many times,
As when
escape from the cyclops
Being
saved from certain death.
I constantly
twirl as whirligig in bed
I think how
would kill the Fiancees
