Summary
' Penelope replied, “But goddess, how can I wash this unwashable blood from my hands? How can I wash my own blood from between my thighs? How can I forgive what I have done, and simultaneously forgive what I have not?” '
AU where Penelope goes to war instead of Odysseus.
After the Achaean victory, Penelope becomes reclusive and melancholy while they wait a few weeks for winds to pick up, and she tends to Astynax in his remaining time before she must kill him. Diomedes misses her sincerely, and feels mainly at fault for her depression. He goes to see her after she gets a visit from Athena.
