    Summary

    Odysseus goes off to war, leaving Penelope and Telemachus to defend Ithaca. Penelope trains a fighting force, puts down uprisings, and weathers storms. Then - after the war is over and Odysseus should return - she and Telemachus deal with the uncertainty of a finished war but no returning hero. The suitors descend, and Penelope and Telemachus are defending Ithaca once again.

    Odysseus returns. And it's a mess.

    Summary

    "Do you even know why he named his boy Telemachus?" he demanded, his voice cracking, raw with grief, edged with fury. "Do you know why he chose that name?" His hands shook at his sides, his entire body trembling. "He named him so because it means ‘far from battle.’" His voice rose, raw and ragged. "for he wished his son to be far, far from this accursed war, from blood and bronze and death!"

    Silence pressed heavy against the tent.

    Diomedes took a staggering breath, his chest rising and falling as though each inhale was a battle in itself. "And now you would have him brought here?" he whispered. "To war? To these accursed shores?"

     

    (or, Odysseus dies during the war. With a prophecy that claims that only the mind of Laertiades will cause the fall of Troy, Ten year old Prince Telemachus is brought to the shores of Troy.)

    Summary

    Maybe Penelope was too focused on her friend and Clytemnestra was too focused on her emotions, but none of them caught the redness of his eyes, the way Odysseus's hair was similarly disheveled like Clytemnestra's.

    Maybe it was better that way...

    Summary

    Calypso’s face softened, she tried to mirror his crooked smile. “Oh, well.” Red bloomed in her round face. “I am not jesting. I am pregnant with our child, Love.”

    “Kill it.”

    She stilled. “What?”

    Odysseus was still grinning at her, the tears in his eyes made his gaze gleam like stars. “Kill it. Or should I do the deed?” His eyes widened as he nodded to himself. “I have killed a babe before. Hector’s lambkin. I shall do it again.” His chest was heaving with ragged breaths.

    Summary

    "We aren't breaking out." Eurylochus stated firmly, causing Odysseus to sigh. Polites let out a little chuckle and, after a moment of silence, asked,
    "Sooo... who should we call?"
    Odysseus snorted. "I'd call the girls but I feel safer in jail."
    Eurylochus silently agreed.

    Summary

    "Crouched down, twisting the glass in her fingers, she realized that, until this very moment, the thought that she might need a weapon hadn’t even crossed her mind. But it made sense, didn’t it? When face-eating cannibals roamed the streets, you wouldn’t want to be caught off guard."

    -x-

    In the span of a few weeks, Europe is taken over by a new disease, which makes those infected by it violent, impulsive — and hungry. When their town finally collapses, Penelope, Odysseus and Telemachus have to find a way to reunite with each other and escape back to Ithaca, one of the last safe places in Greece, before their only ride sails off and leaves them for dead.

    Summary

    Ctimene called after him, ruinously gentle, but Odysseus hardly heard her. He pushed past servants and some of the men, just barely keeping enough control of his body not to stumble as he made his way back inside, down the hall that led out to the courtyard, up the stairs, panting with air too thin to sustain him. The door of the bedroom slammed shut behind him, and Odysseus rushed to the balcony, shoving curtains out of his way to bring himself right to the edge, breathing in the night air on this side of the palace where it did not smell of smoke and blood and people who’d either stopped loving him or would very soon.

    He caught a familiar name on his tongue before it could get out. She, too, wasn’t there anymore.
