Okay . . . So we start this storybook with our characters being introduced, then Zeus calling them to Olympus for a prep talk. Correct?
For I who am poor have only my dreams
I spread my dreams under your feet . . .

. . . tread softly for you tread on my dreams.

I don't understand what your saying. XD

We're starting with Zeus calling our characters to tell us the mission.

*Just a quick mix up*
How did Bion, now at twenty, join the Trojan war and Acaeus, now at 36, was born after the Trojan war?

Not to mention this is about ten years after the Trojan war, right? So Alcaeus would have been 26, and Bion was fighting in it....at ten years old?
*sorry, just want to clear everything up so the SB isn't confusing*

Oh, ha. Good point. Good job spotting that one, Liv. I'll speak with jordin.

One note. Odysseus's journey takes about twenty years in the books. I'm not sure when the Telemachia is, I'll hit up the Odyssey one second.

I always thought his journey was ten years long. I don't really know, though hahaha. I haven't read it since freshman year of high school, and even then I just skimmed it hahaha

Ha. Wikipedia agrees with you. The Odysset itself only narrates 34-40 days of it though.

I couldn't find evidence pointing as to 20 on my book, and I can't be bothered to look more. Ten years it is.


However. If this takes place 10 years after the war, Odysseus' travels are over, thus the Sb pointless.

It isn't ten years.

More like 5.
