Chapter Summary: Even Odysseus came home in the end.
I've long thought Bart and Kon as Hades and Persephone parallels with the way the two characters have evolved over the last thirty years, both together and separately.
But it was only recently that I started to see Pre-Crisis KaraDox as a derivation of Odysseus and Penelope (shoutout to the tunglr user who put the thought in my head). Because if she really ever came back, I really do think he would be waiting for her at the end of her resurrection. That's the kind of love they had goin on in those old comics, and I'll never get over them lol. People who will find each other in every Hell, yippee!
I hope you all enjoyed this story because I certainly had a wonderful time writing it. Thank you for reading, and don't forget to leave comints! Shout to @superfambigbang for hosting this wonderful event!
