- "in the pre-odyssey theatre why does odysseus say 'they would have linked [the hypothetical trojan duck]' to his bond with penelope? is that a bad thing for him?"
>Cause, you know how he keeps blabbing about how much he loves his son and wife? Yeah. Everyone in both forces know that he loves his wife, who everyone knows loves her ducks cause he also won't stop talking about it. If he made it in the form of a duck, the Trojans would've instantly known that it was a ploy from him 😂"Oh yes, definitely, this is from that duck guy."
As for Penelopiad, I haven't read it myself, but it did come up a lot of times when I was doing research for this game, so what I gathered from it are just bits and pieces from the net. I'd say I did get a lot of info/inspo from what I did manage to find!
I'm glad you got the Telegony reference😉
Anyway, dw about rambling, I appreciate the effort to type it up. As a creator, it's a pleasure the hear the thoughts of the player/s🙏
