Being Part of a Myth - Flower of Odysseus

---- Last unique items in very limited edition ----

Tired of days full of monotony? Then try becoming part of a myth. With this brand-new, centuries-old product, De Laatste Winkel makes you part of a magical and timeless whole with a simple purchase.

With 'Being Part of a Myth', you become the owner of a carefully hand-picked flower or hand-collected olive leaf that directly connects you to the bloodline of the Greek hero Odysseus.

Myths about the Greek gods are also primarily stories about family. About fathers, mothers, and proud or rebellious descendants. The limited and unique edition of flowers and olive leaves, exclusively for sale at De Laatste Winkel, are direct descendants of the flowers and leaves that grew from the soil of Odysseus's own land.

The blood and sweat of the Greek hero, shed while winning back his wife Penelope at the expense of 108 suitors, were absorbed by the ancestors of these flowers and leaves. With your purchase, this piece of the family tree of a myth becomes yours, adding a new line to this age-old story.

ἔνθα περ ἐλθόντ' ὑποδέξω κΑ
τριακάς μοι μὲν ἔδωκας ἀπιδέων, τετράκοντα
συκέων, πεντήκοντα δὲ ἀμπέλων ὡρισμένας ἀνὰ κλῆρον,
ἁρμόζουσαι ἔασιν
αἶψ' ἐπιδέξασθαι ὅτ' ἂν Ζεὺς ὄμβρον ἐπαείρῃ.
καὶ δέ τοι ἐρράδιόν περ ἔϕ
καὶ ὄρχατον ἔχοντα παρέργου.
τοῖά σε μνησάμενος προσφωνέω· αὐτὸς δ' Ὀδυσεύς εἰμι.

But come, let us remember those trees you gave me
when you brought me here, received me and named them one by one;
You gave me thirty apple trees, forty fig trees,
and fifty carefully demarcated vine branches within their plots;
and the rest (trees) stood there, ready to bear fruit,
to grow immediately when Zeus sends rain.
You also told me it would be easy for me
to maintain a beautiful olive grove and an orchard besides. Remembering all this, I address you: I am Odysseus himself.
