    Summary

    “Why should I hate you?”

    Her question lacked the innocence a child should have. In fact, the way she spoke very maturely only brought a stab of guilt into his heart. She shouldn’t have to ask that question. She shouldn’t have to feel like she was undeserving of love. And yet, she was asking why she should hate him? After all the ways he had failed her?

    “Because I’m a monster,” he replied.

    The girl got up from the sand in response. Closing the distance, she walked until she was in front of him. The moon poured its silver light onto her, making her glow in an ethereal way like his Penelope. She knelt on her knees and looked up at him. Her eyes shone with a strong resolve.

    “You’re not a monster. You’re my father.”

    Summary

    Odysseus is a woman, she spent ten years pretending to be a man for the war, and another ten trying to get back home to her wife. Everyone she's ever loved (and hated) will now know what's taken her so long to return to Ithaca.

    She spent so long pretending she was a man that she still referes to herself as a man
    Her eye colour changing is a thing so the colour will be mentioned a lot like an odd amount

    This is NOT accurate to actual lore!!!

    Summary

    At Ilium High, the rules are different. Legacy matters more than truth, secrets buy power, and silence is the price of survival. An elite school for the wealthy and well-connected, it promises success to those who keep their heads down, and ruin for those who ask questions.

    Helen just wants to disappear after what happened at her last school, but her beauty makes her a target all over again.
    Diomedes, quiet and fiercely loyal, would rather box than speak, but he's drawn to the girl who won’t let anyone in.
    Odysseus is brilliant, insomniac, and unraveling, haunted by a night he barely remembers.
    Penelope is determined to be perfect, even as the pressure makes her fall apart.
    Clytemnestra is angry, at the school, at her sister, at herself, and not sure who she wants to protect.
    Hector is trying to hold everyone together, his siblings, his team, his future, even as everything burns down around him.
    Paris wants to be seen.
    Cassandra wants to be believed.

    Summary

    After centuries of a constant feeling of cold, emptiness was ingrained in her bones; finally, the gods had forgiven her. A thought she once believed was impossible. The man of her dreams was right before her. Even though he would disappear each morning, stating he was going to clear his mind, that never bothered her. As he always returned.

    That was…until Apollo’s chariot in the sky was only two hours away from landing to rest, and Odysseus still hadn’t returned from his usual walk.

    Summary

    “My friend! Message has arrived from Troy! The war has ended and the fleets are on their way!”

    Odysseus felt his whole body freeze as he heard those words he had prayed for for so long. He could barely belive it...

    His wife was coming home…

     

    Or:
    Odysseus, in this attempt at avoiding leaving his family alone to go to war, composes a vaguely mythologically accurate plan to evade the draft. But his failure poses even greater consequences than he could have ever imagined when he realises a certain someone has taken up his sword in his absence…

    Summary

    This work is a commission.

    Several hundred years after Odysseus, Calypso believes she has lost her only chance at happiness. She drifts through her days in increasing misery, maintaining her routines only because they are all she has left. In her sorrow, she prays to Hera, pleading for a wife. A month later, a girl appears on the island: an orphaned priestess of Hera, crippled from birth, sent to be Calypso’s eternal companion. Lais understands her role, devoted and dutiful, yet it is not easy. Over time, she and Calypso learn to navigate their differences, gradually developing tolerance and eventually coming to love one another.

    Summary

    The boy in front of him slowly blinks.

    Odysseus copying the sign.

    The boy bows his head owlishly and stares at him.

    Maybe his mind completely gone crazy after the past five years, or Calypso finally get tired of him with his hysterics and decided to teach him a lesson by sending him madness?

    Summary

    if anything in the tags turns y'all off this fic, please read the notes first because they might fix it

    ---------------

    When the kings of Greece come to conscript Odysseus for the Trojan War, Penelope of Ithaca knows one thing: she will not lose her husband to war, and she will not let her son be used to take him. In a desperate attempt to save her family, Penelope offers herself to the war effort in Odysseus's place.

    Penelope is whisked away to Troy with her army, and a devastated Odysseus is left to raise his infant son alone. Even when the war ends, their trials do not. Penelope faces gods and monsters while Odysseus struggles to rule Ithaca and protect himself and his son from the malevolent suitors seeking his hand.

    Essentially, the plot of EPIC, but Penelope and Odysseus's places are switched, and the Ithaca side of the plot is quite a bit darker.

    Summary

    "Nobody, really," the fisherman says, dismissing the town's questions about who he is. And generally, they don't pry- they know better. Everyone's got secrets. They'll let him be Nobody.

    But the sea has other ideas. And so does the red-eyed man in the doorway of the empty house.
