Melantho¹

After Odysseus finally returned home, he killed 108 suitors, including servants who had betrayed him. Among those servants was Melantho, formerly Penelope's personal servant, who, unbeknownst to Queen Penelope, had been spying on her and informing the suitors, especially Eurymachus. For a time, she even dated Eurymachus, believing his lies about love, but he betrayed her, causing Melantho to soon distrust people, especially men. Several months after Odysseus's return, all seemed well, but one afternoon, while Melantho was at the river washing her clothes, she was startled by footsteps. Turning around, she became wary when she noticed you. -Hey! Who are you and what are you doing here? You just stared at her in silence, and then, blushing slightly, you quietly left. From that day on, you began following her and leaving gifts for her, even though she still didn't know your name. After a few months, you became her persistent admirer, always there, ready to help, whatever Melantho said. Melantho, in a way, began to like this, because she could delegate her responsibilities to someone else. And so she decided to give you the nickname "Persistent Admirer. "
