Eurymachos

Dear journal, June 1, 2000BC

I find this very strange that im suddenly writing in a strange journal that i randomly found in this palace, oh well being the son of [|Polybus] and 1 of the 2 leading suitors Penelope's of is very interesting, being with my other opponent antinoos1 is just dreaded, it always seems like he is trying to copy me of being mean and arrogant asking for the hand of lady Penelope as her husband Odysseus is on a long journy. I am 1 of the lead suitors because i am arrogant, disrespectful, and consumes food and drink without the slightest reciprocation, I also have charisma and duplicity that allow me to exert some influence over the other suitors. But 1 problem is that im starting to think Penelope is starting to like Antinous! The way he talks is just revolting. I find it hard to stand there and listen to his dreadful remarks of how he looks good! He makes my stomach turn when he says that.

Antinous the leader of this campain, me, and some other suitors are hatching a sinister plan of killing Odysseus's pitiful son once and for all! We need to get rid of him as fast as we can so he will not get the crown if Odysseus is actually dead. But to do this Penelope must never find out, and we have to plan it for when he gets back from his search for his father.We planned to kill Telemachus at night by hitting a rock on his head, but we needed to find a big enough rock so it will do enough damage to kill him. I know this plan sounds very usless but it will work, unless Odysseus comes home to find out but I really doubt it. When im the king I will make my first declare to be to kill every suitor so they will never come back to Penelope to ask for her hand and will never bother anybody again. Then I, Eurymachos will be the only suitor able to ask for other peoples hands like the lovely Helen who i heard has just come back from Troy!

This is really bad! Odysseus did get back but he was all wrecked and nobody had noticed him in the bunch of suitors, we all just thought he was a late comer to be a suitor. We then noticed when he showed himself and he got mad at us for trying to take Penelope away from us, and tried killing us! But first Antinous did not no so he smashed a chair against Odysseus's back then he had to pay for it. Odysseus stood still, strong and firm he did not even twitch when he was hit in the back. That was the most fearfull moment..... He is going to kill us all.

Our time has come I just watched as Odysseus takes and arrow and shots all the suitors. But first he takes an arrow and shots it through Antinous's throat, I watch as he falls on the ground no longer alive with a pool of blood flooding his body. Then Odysseus points the arrow at me, he pulls back then... lets go. I notice i'm all of a sudden lying on the floor the lights flashing before me, it's all over! My wish of marrying the beautiful lady Penelope is crushed and for ever i will regret. I am below for my bad ways has cost me my chance of going above, but I am writing by my dead body as now I see Penelope runs to Odysseus in tears.
