This is what the axes would look like in the production because they need a hole in the bottom to shoot the arrow through in the competition.

This is what Odysseus’ bow would look like in the production, to string it you have to pull the string over the top the bow like in the competition.

This is what Marcus Aurelius’ house would look like that he would flee to after realizing that the old beggar was Odysseus.

This is how the ship Odysseus came home on would look, it is a picture of what an ancient Greek boat would have looked like.

The play would be set in around 2000 BCE, between the time when the Pyramids of Giza were built in Egypt and when iron smelting was perfected.

This is how I would want the crowd outside of the home of Odysseus and Penelope to dress. It’s just outfits that go with the time.

I would have Telemachus wear the outfit that the boy on the right is wearing. It goes with the time and seems like a nice outfit that someone of his status would wear.

The armor I would have Odysseus wear would be like this, the picture shows what Athenian armor looked like, and I believe Odysseus would wear something like that, minus the helmet and shield unless he was actually in battle. The reason I wanted him to wear Athenian armor is because he is close with the god Athena, who the armor was made to please for Athena’s help in battle.

I would have Penelope be wearing dresses like these shown above because that is what I think she would have worn and would be accurate to the time.

This is a map of the Greek city states that were around when the performance would be happening, and each place had its own types of rule and customs.

This is how I would want it to look when Odysseus pick up the bot and shoots the arrow so that all focus is on him and you know it’s a big point in the story.

This is how I would want the weather to be on the beach, which is sunny with a wind coming in from the ocean to make it cooler.

I drew this photo to show the temperature I would want is to be in the production because it would be about 70 and on the coast which I think would be very nice.

This is how it would look when Odysseus shoots the arrow through the axes, it would be in the courtyard of the home I showed.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a photo of the god Athena and I would have this statue out front of the home of Odysseus and Penelope, since Odysseus is favorite by Athena.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the design I would use for Odysseus and Penelope’s home because it is large, but not a massive and excessive building. I also think it would look good on the coast of Ithaka. Another reason was because the end of the story when they have the competition it could take place in the courtyard area in the middle of the home.

I wanted to keep the location the same for the play, I used Ithaka because it is such a beautiful island and would stay true to the story I am basing my production off of.

Telemachus:

To play Telemachus I chose Isaac Hempstead Wright, he is a younger actor who also has darker hair like the region would suggest. Also, he is a great actor and from one of my favorite shows.

Marcus Aurelius:

To play Marcus Aurelius I would use Gabriel Macht, he is a younger actor who is very attractive and seems like he would be full of confidence like Marcus in the story.

Penelope:

I chose Paige Turco to play Penelope because she is a beautiful actress, but she is older, so it would fit better in the story since Odysseus had been gone for so long. Another reason I picked her is because she has dark hair and in Italy and Greece many people have darker hair, so it would fit with that as well.

Odysseus:

I would use Robert De Niro to play Odysseus because he’s a great actor and has the physical appearance I wanted to give Odysseus in this play, which is someone who can be nice and compassionate, but at the same time someone who you would not want to double cross. As well as being an older man because Odysseus was gone for so long.

The Light of Rome- Dragon Blade OST. At the end of the play once Odysseus becomes king again and reveals his identity, I would have the people who were loyal to him and didn't flee sing this song together to praise the return of their king.

Time- Hans Zimmer. I would use the beginning of this song for the play when Odysseus picks up the bow because the beginning starts with a sound that is somewhat like a heartbeat. When this song comes on the whole room would go quiet and show how concentrated and serious Odysseus is

Main Titles (Instrumental) - Michael Kamen & the London Metropolitan Orchestra. I would use this song when Odysseus is walking up to his old palace because I love the way it sounds and it conveys a serious tone, I think it would work well to help set the mood for the scene.
