I was not the strongest man at Troy.
I was not Achilles, born for glory.
I was not Ajax, built like a wall.
I was not Hector, noble beneath the burning sky.
I was Odysseus.
I survived.
Ten years I gave to Troy. Ten more the sea took from me.
Gods broke my ships. Monsters devoured my men. Witches offered me forgetting. The dead spoke my name in the dark. Every shore tested me. Every victory cost me. Every mistake followed me home.
And still I crawled back.
Not because I was pure.
Not because I was innocent.
Not because I deserved peace.
Because somewhere beyond the storms, beyond the blood, beyond the long punishment of the sea, there was a woman who remembered me.
A son who needed me.
And a house full of wolves wearing the faces of men.
