Zeus would NOT call Odysseus senpai btw

>>7830038
Is that because they're not from modern Japan?

He really wanted to go home. He stared out at the sea crying every day.

Yes ;^)

When you're a legendary hero descended from the gods and you have a wife, a son and a kingdom waiting for you to return to them, spending the best part of a decade as some nymph's boytoy is probably a less exciting prospect than it would be for some guy frogposting on 4chan.

>>7830212
He left his wife, son and kingdom again soon after getting back

>>7830228
Says who?

It's in the odyssey and expanded by Tennyson

It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy'd
Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone, on shore, and when
Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vext the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honour'd of them all;
And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades
For ever and forever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.

This is my son, mine own Telemachus,
To whom I leave the sceptre and the isle,—
Well-loved of me, discerning to fulfil
This labour, by slow prudence to make mild
A rugged people, and thro' soft degrees
Subdue them to the useful and the good.
Most blameless is he, centred in the sphere
Of common duties, decent not to fail
In offices of tenderness, and pay
Meet adoration to my household gods,
When I am gone. He works his work, I mine.

There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark, broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil'd, and wrought, and thought with me—
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads—you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
>>
>>7830274
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Odysseus is an elderly man by that point though, isn't he?
>>
>>7830296
He is, but he still craves adventure

To make up with Poseidon he has to do a ritual in a far off land where they don't recognize oars.

Take me down
To the Ithica city
Where Penelope lays
And gets fucked silly
O, won't you please take me home

Just a Grecian livin' on the sea, I'm a
Trojan killa that's tough to beat
but I love to have feasts
where there's lots to eat
young dawn with her rose read fingeeeeeeeers
Gotta get me home and uncuck

Penelope's waiting o so they say
Gotta keep sailin' dealing with my shipmates
They keep fucking up I hope they die
Gotta go kill the suuuuiiiitoooorrrssssss
Better show up in disguise

Take me down
To the Ithica city
Where Penelope lays
And gets fucked silly
O, won't you please take me home
Take me down
To the Ithica city
Where Telemachus lays
And acts like a pussay
Take me home

Well now I've hit land, I've a
met with the daughter
of some important man gonna
let me in his larder
now I'm in Ithica and it's time to diiiiiiiie
let me string my bow up now

Take me down
To the Ithica city
Where the suitors are dead
And my bed is stationary
O, won't you please take me home
Take me down
To the Ithica city
Where I reign king
And plow my earned pussay
Take me home

He would but only because of the filter
>>
>>7830038
It was filtered from the short form of family, but I have to say the thought of these Greek historical figures calling each other senpai is pretty fucking suteki.
