Where is Odysseus's beard?
Hello Supergiants!

I'm a big fan of Hades 1 because you were very attentive to detail and, more importantly, faithfully conveyed all the nuances of Greek mythology.
In Hades 2, I found a lot of evidence that you continue to adhere to the utmost authenticity in the depiction of myths. BUT!
Where is Odysseus's beard?

In the classical iconography of Odysseus - Greek images on vases (for example, “Odysseus receiving instructions from Tiresias”, Red-figure painting on the crater. 4th century BC), sculptures (for example, Odysseus fleeing from the cyclops Polyphemus. Marble), and subsequently in paintings (for example, Odysseus and the Sirens. Artist John William Waterhouse, 1891) and numerous film adaptations (for example, Odysseus played by Sean Bean in the film Troy, 2004 or Kirk Douglas in Ulisse, 1954 ) Odysseus is almost always depicted with a beard.

This is important because unlike Achilles (he is always without a beard), Odysseus is an experienced middle-aged man, and not a youth like Achilles. For the ancient Greeks, a beard was a symbol of a full-fledged citizen, an adult mature man.

Please add a beard to Odysseus.

Sorry for my English. I use Google translate.
