Summary
Athena was still struggling with the weight of her goodbye. At times she had her doubts but it was for the best, she would convince herself.
If Odysseus would not listen to reason, then he can't continue being her student. It was just that simple.
At least, it should have been.
She'll come to find out in time that her goodbye was also her greatest mistake.
But what will become of the lost King, the Goddess of Wisdom and everyone they are connected to from this sudden realization?
Note: SOMEWHAT AU, HAPPENS FURTHER IN.

Summary
Gods couldn’t die. The words repeated themselves in Ares's head.
And yet, his sister lay unmoving on the floor of the main throne room, his father’s lightning still sparking violently through her body. His family stood by his side, but no one dared say the question aloud. So he made the choice to say what all in attendance thought.
“...is she dead?”

This is a literary retelling of EPIC from Love in Paradise and beyond. If this picks up and gets some traction, I may also continue with the Vengeance Saga and the Ithaca Saga as well. And possibly beyond.
This will be from the perspective of the gods - occasionally, there may or may not be a mortal point of view in certain cases, but mostly it’s focusing on the Greek pantheon’s perspective.
Tags for this work will be updated as the series goes on.

Summary
~ She turned to look at him again. They stood before each other and spat out venom, but no one would win. Only a battlefield of a boy’s fury and a goddess’s quiet regret.
“Your heart is cold. You fight and whisper wisdom to be known, like the rest of them.”
Odysseus once assumed she was untouchable. An immortal strength wrapped in bronze and wisdom. But no. She was human in her pain, and she had borne it alone.
And suddenly, all his cleverness—all his prized wit—was useless. What trick, what scheme, what plan could undo this kind of agony?
~(OR!!! After Odysseus and Athena's messy splitting in "My Goodbye", Athena finds herself spending each day trying to repay her debt to Odysseus without him even knowing it.)
(Basically an Athena-centric Fanfic based during and after "My Goodbye" with a lot of angst. Major focus on Athena, i'm terrible at summarising.)

The erasure of justice and the crimes of the heinous by Robynshereallalone
Fandoms: EPIC - Jorge Rivera-Herrans (Albums), The Odyssey - Homer
22 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
This is a story actually based off of Athena and Medusa and the erasure of the story of women who are brought justice BY the bringer of justice—Athena.
----
After Odysseus comes back, Antinous isn't killed on the spot. Which means that when Penelope saw Odysseus and confirmed it was him, she was utterly relieved, only to see him keel over with a blooming red stain from the sword in him driven in by Antinous, the very suitor who's haunted her halls for three years.
This makes Penelope plummet into a deeper depression, and this makes Telemachus fall into a spiral and despair from the fact his father came back only to be killed.
Penelope is desperate for help, for a helping hand, for someone to hold her in their lap like Odysseus would.

Then she was certain it would be when they reciprocated her feelings.
She had no idea that the true biggest surprise would be just how much, and in what ways, she needed them.

Summary
“You are reckless, sentimental at best-that's not a teaching of mine.” Athena sighed. “Maybe if I taught him empathy, this reunion between husband and wife would have happened before the pain of the suitors, before the deaths of the last of his crew, before the drowning of over 500 souls. Maybe I truly led him astray.”
“You did lead him astray- but that’s in the past. It’s useless to ruminate on it” A voice said behind her. “You lead him astray, Athena- but we can get him back, together.”
Or
Polites doesn't hate anyone- not really. He's a lover of peace and of people, of empathy and of healing. But if he had to chose one person, he knew exactly who it would be: Athena. She was the one being in the realms he wouldn't embrace with open arms, but with a cold glare, biting his tongue so hard to keep from committing blasphemy- and for good reason. Even those with hearts of gold have their limits, and Athena crossed it countless times.
But there is nothing Polites would not do for his beloving Ody, one who suffered so much- one who needed help getting back on track, to realize he is not a monster and never truly was. If he has to help the Goddess he dislikes most, so be it.
