    Summary

    On his way to Sparta to participate in the contest for Penelope's hand, Odysseus falls ill with a fever. When Penelope finds him half dead on the banks of the river outside her father's palace, she takes it upon herself to nurse him back to health before the contest — even if he's delirious enough to have mistaken her for Aphrodite.

    Summary

    Her hands, too, have grown rough with time. Calloused, aching. She will trace the threads of him, weaving until she can find herself glimpsing at the beginnings of a tapestry. She will tuck his graying hair behind his ear, combing her hand through errant strands. He will turn his cheek, breathe into her palm. He will kiss each joint of her knuckles, kiss her wrist, her arm.
