    Summary

    60 years after Odysseus returns home, Hermes discovers him Still alive and well. It was as if He was still no more than forty, his face was not scratched with wrinkles, and his voice was still ringing.
    It's all about the ten drops of the Sea God's blood that got into the mortal King's body during Poseidon's torture with his own trident.

    "It's not forever. May God grant that in 300 years the ichor will evaporate from your body, great-grandson. In the meantime, live like you're a ghost."

    But what do you do when your Nemesis finds out about you? What to do when all the secrets become clear? Why is Poseidon in no hurry to take the golden blood from the mortal king's body?

    Summary

    This is a story actually based off of Lady Athena and Medusa and the erasure of the story of women who are brought justice BY the bringer of justice—Lady Athena. I am a hellenic polytheist so I try to always be respectful, but this is for fictional purposes and all characterization will not be completely accurate.

    ----

    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.

    Summary

    The wisest thing to do would be to forget everything. Let him rot on the island at the hands of Calypso and simply admit her defeat. However, contradicting her mind, this time the heart of the goddess Athena speaks louder. Hearing Odysseus' continuous cries and prayers, she cannot stand still. Therefore, the goddess of wisdom takes matters into her own hands and goes in search of Odysseus, defying the will of the gods and, especially, of her own Father.

    Alternate Universe in which Athena fails to convince the gods to free Odysseus, breaks the deal and goes to save him anyway. And, in the process, discovers feelings until then buried in her own neglected heart.

    Summary

    “Easy, kid.” The voice cut through the noise effortlessly, raspy with disuse but gentle all the same. Telemachus blinked up at the man in front of him – he must have practically fallen on top of him, but there was no annoyance in his tone.

    He had only a moment to analyse him – tanned skin, warm brown eyes, scars showing at the edges of his tunic – before the guards lost patience and began to push forward again. The man resisted for a just moment, frowning slightly as his eyes darted across the exposed half of Telemachus’s face like there was something written on it he was trying to decode.

    Reluctantly, with the persuasion of a sword digging into the small of his back, he kept walking, though his head turned back to glance at him a last time, his brows still slightly creased.

    ---

    Or, where Antinous is king of Trojan-allied Thrace and kidnaps Telemachus to settle a grudge he's never forgiven, keeping him captive with other Greek prisoners long after the war has ended. Somewhere far across the ocean, Odysseus is released from Calypso's island six years early.

    Summary

    Kronos was very angry with Luke and sent him to Ancient Greece as punishment, thinking that he would suffer.

    Summary

    Odysseus was the omega of the crew.
    He made sure to keep them calm and healthy, ensuring nothing happened to his pack as they crossed treacherous seas. But then Poseidon appeared, furious over Polyphemus’ blindness, and took Odysseus as if he were an object to be claimed. That alpha had taken their omega, their friend, and captain as if he didn’t matter. Polites, as much as Eurylochus, could barely stand it.

    However, the captain returned after months, rescued by his former mentor. Now, the crew must care for their captain, who suffered the worst treatment at the hands of the god of the sea, as they continue their journey home—and perhaps, with a surprise on the way.

    Summary

    At seventeen, Telemachus refuses to live in Odysseus' shadow—he will stand beside him. He sails into the unknown, chasing whispers of his father’s name.

    Captured in a distant land, Telemachus is thrown into the pit, where warriors fight for survival. There, a scarred veteran with a cold, knowing gaze stands tall beside him. Both use false names, hiding their pasts, but fate binds them.

    They fight side by side, their bond growing with every battle. Blood stains the sand.

    Only later, when the masks fall and the truth is revealed, will Telemachus realize: the warrior who fought beside him, the man who led him through fire—was Odysseus, his father.

    Summary

    Odysseus knows he is being foolish. If he’s allowed to have a connection to a single Olympian, here on this Tartarus attempting to disguise itself as Elysium, it would make more sense for him to choose Lord Hermes, who has aided him before.

    (It has been a year, and yet he still pines for home. Calypso has grown tired, and thinks that granting him a single god’s attention would sate him—as if anything could sate him but going home and seeing Penelope, meeting Telemachus again for the first time in thirteen years.

    Gods. His boy is fourteen now).

    And yet, when the Goddess Calypso demands to know who he will take on, as his one deity, he finds himself saying, “Athena.”

    (OR: Athena finds herself missing Odysseus enough to check on Telemachus earlier and is therefore convinced to look in on Odysseus earlier, only to find that she can't reach out to him unless Calypso allows it. A year later, Calypso agrees to let him have a connection to a deity of his choosing. He chooses Athena, because some part of him will always think of himself as hers.)

    OR OR: the "Odysseus pretends to date Calypso to buy Athena time to get him off Ogygia" AU that got far more serious than I thought.)

    Summary

    [Reaction fic]

    It had been around a month since Odysseus' return to Ithaca. Things were almost perfect.

    Almost.

    Odysseus still refused to say much about his journey. This was not a problem. Penelope and Telemachus were more than willing to wait until he was ready to talk.

    However, one morning, during what was supposed to be an ordinary breakfast, the little family, along with Athena and Ctimene were transported into a strange room. Here, they were told that they were going to witness events of the past : Odysseus' journey.
