Meet Odysseus’s Love Interest/Telemachus’s Future Wife, Nausicaa

[jwplayer id="7115997"]

We hope you weren't getting too used to having Karina Testa in the picture, because a very important figure just entered the picture. It's Nausicaa (Capucine Delaby), a young woman who helps Odysseus on his travels, hears his stories, delivers him from danger, and later marries his son.

In the original myth, Odysseus never tells his wife about Nausicaa, leading some to believe that she had a deep and emotional impact on the warrior. However, their relationship never gets romantic; in fact, their bond is more like that of mother and son, and she even says to him as he leaves for Ithaca, "Never forget me, for I gave you life." How this results in Nausicaa banging Telemachus, we'll never know.
