Summary
Antinous laughs and there is no humour in it. “You think a couple of clumsy tumbles and I’ll be so smitten I’ll give up the throne of Ithaca? Are you really that foolish?”
Telemachus stands up.
“Is this the part where you run off?” Antinous asks.
Telemachus goes to where he is sitting and looks down at him. Antinous looks up at him defiantly. He looks as if he is bracing himself to be struck.
It’s what he deserves. Instead, Telemachus just turns and goes towards the door that leads to the inner chamber. Standing in the doorway, he looks back over his shoulder.
“Well?” he says. “Are you coming or aren’t you?”
The shroud is completed ahead of schedule and Penelope chooses a husband.
For ten days before the wedding, Telemachus stands guard on the lonely palace walkway between their rooms.

Summary
“I asked that you be given a chance,” the goddess tells him. “So I give you this warning; do not go crawling back to Ithaca until you are worthy of it.””
Antinous has somehow managed to weasel his way out of not only fate but death. Running away was one thing however and coming home is much more difficult. Antinous is not a patient man and Telemachus, after all, had never promised to wait...
Or: if Athena is the patron goddess of Telemachus and she adores him then Aphrodite just has Antinous and she HATES his ass.

Summary
The new king of Ithaca doesn't care much for feasting. He makes an exception when Menelaus comes to visit his court. Antinous seethes and Telemachus considers the ties that bind.
“I thought I might find you here.
“How would you?,” Antinous says. “You haven’t looked in my direction all night.”
Telemachus resists with some effort, the urge to roll his eyes. He takes a step closer, putting his hands on Antinous’ arms where they’re crossed across his chest. He can feel the tension in his body just from the flex of muscle in his forearm. When he looks up at Antinous’ face there’s a high flush on his cheeks and he’s scowling.
“I’m sorry,” he says, looking up through his eyelashes and keeping his voice coy. “Perhaps I should have entertained the king of Sparta sitting in your lap?”
