Big Head Press - Thoughtful Stories, Graphic Novels Online And In Print - Odysseus The Rebel, by Steven Grant and Scott Bieser

Panel 1
Eurymachus seethes as he watches the three vanish around the corner. Antinous looks puzzled, and worried.
eurymachus
He's up to something.
Panel 2
Eurymachus and Antinous continue down the corridor. Eurymachus casts a furtive look over his shoulder.
ANTINOUS
I haven't had reports from the beach this morning. Do you think he killed them?
eurymachus
I think whatever he and his herders have in mind, it's too late, and we're too many.
Panel 3
Telemachus, Odysseus and Eumaeus continue their walk toward the queen's rooms. Eumaeus looks warily, pissily over his shoulder, watching for any attack. Odysseus, standing straighter now, looks boldly straight ahead while Telemachus tries to figure him out.
odysseus
That was good, boy. Survive first. Revenge comes second.
telemachus
The Spartans would call that cowardice.

Panel 4
2-shot Odysseus and Telemachus
odysseus
Right. If you want to learn to die well, learn from a Spartan. But dying's not the objective here.
Panel 5
INT. PENELOPE'S CHAMBER
Telemachus enters, tossing his helmet aside in his hurry to reach Penelope. As Penelope sees him, she rises half out of her chair in shock and overwhelmed by joy, also anxious to get to him. Odysseus stands in the doorway, discreetly, watching warily but not entering as he discreetly leaves the bag just inside, while Eumaeus stands just beyond, anxiously guarding the doorway.
telemachus
Mother.
penelope
Telemachus!
