A Harmonious Echo
Your yearning for Odysseus's return in 'The Odyssey' to tie up 'Trojan string,' coupled with your dissatisfaction with the 'Telegony's' ending, reveals a profound appreciation for narrative closure and the catharsis of homecoming that resonates surprisingly with the unrated 'The Poet.' While seemingly disparate, both works, in their own way, grapple with the human need for resolution and the lingering echoes of unfinished narratives, suggesting you value stories that provide a sense of completion, even if that completion is imperfectly achieved.
