Penelopeia

by Rob Henderson
to the tune of "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles

Ah, look at all the evil suitors!
Ah, look at all the evil suitors!

Penelopeia weaving a shroud on a loom in the home of the king
Lives in a dream
Stands at the window, waits for her husband who left her to fight in the war
What was it for?

All the evil suitors, where do they all come from?
All the evil suitors, when will they all be gone?

Telemachos, welcomes a stranger although there are so many there
But he still cares
It is Athene, the grey-eyed goddess who comes to the court in disguise
She is so wise

All the evil suitors, where do they all come from?
All the evil suitors, when will they all be gone?

Ah, look at all the evil suitors!
Ah, look at all the evil suitors!

Penelopeia goes to the loom and unties what she did in the day
But they still stay
Telemachos told by Athene to search for some news of his dad
None to be had

All the evil suitors, where do they all come from?
All the evil suitors, when will they all be gone?

Note: This is the first song in my ongoing project to tell the story of Homer's Oddysey in the style of the movie Yellow Submarine. -RobH
