“Unveiling the Untold: Discover the Enigmatic Lost Sequels of The Iliad That Could Rewrite History!”
After the Returns comes the Odyssey, and after the Odyssey is the Telegony. The Telegony is far removed from the events of the Trojan War and continues the story of Odysseus after his further 10 year journey. Just like the Iliad, you can read the Odyssey for yourselves, but the important parts to understanding the Telegony are thus: While he was off fighting, suitors began to harass his wife Penelope thinking that Odysseus is dead. They wanted to seize Odysseus’ lands for themselves. His son Telemachus, schemes with his mother and grandfather to keep this from happening. Penelope comes up with ruses to keep delaying the time when she is forced to pick a suitor. On his journey home, Odysseus comes across the witch Circe. He lives with her for a year and fathers a son, Telegonus. He returns home, slaughters Penelope’s suitors with the help of his son Telemachus, and returns to power in Ithaca.
