    Summary

    As an extremely quilty Athena watches over her former mentee after 10 years of absence, she decided to save him no matter what—but a dead man can't be saved, so to get him home she has to give him a reason to not throw himself into Poseidon's ocean at the meantime.

    Or: Athena decides that Odysseus should have one a good night rest before she decides to face her father off.

    Summary

    Aphrodite had foreseen Paris' triumph – her triumph, in truth. The moment his eyes would fall upon Helen of Sparta, he would understand: this was the reward for his devotion, this was the woman the gods themselves had deemed worthy of a prince so favoured.

    She had not foreseen his rejection.

    Had not expected him to turn away from the prize she had laid before him, to spurn the very woman he had once coveted with all his heart.

    Nor had she anticipated that his desire would stray – not to another queen, most certainly not to Helen’s own cousin.

     

    Penelope of Sparta.

     

    (Or, after coming across a portrait of Penelope during his time in Sparta, Paris of Troy switches his kidnapping victim from Helen to Penelope. This proves far more detrimental than anyone could have imagined - a spark burning so bright that even the Gods on Olympus are caught in its flames.)

    Summary

    Odysseus was never meant to return early. Athena was never meant to defy Zeus. But she did. And for her disobedience, she paid the price. When Zeus casts her broken body at Odysseus's feet, demanding a cruel choice, the former hero must decide between the peace he earned and the goddess who once guided him home.

    As the gods turn their backs on her, Telemachus steps forward. His bond with Athena has always been different, quieter, more personal. While Odysseus wrestles with guilt and distrust, Telemachus chooses care, loyalty, and something neither of them expected. In the fallout of Olympus’s judgment, that choice could change everything.

    Summary

    It started out as a simple augment, a very stupid one (something about ‘proper’ sword handling or something like that), and somehow it ended in confusion.

    For Odysseus, Son of Laertes, Warrior of the Mind and current king of Ithaca at age 14....

    Just called Pallas Athena...mom.

    Now watch as the goddess of wisdom spirals into a confusing odyssey of self-realization as she learns how to BE a mom from eight goddesses and hopefully gains the knowledge to understand this insane premise before her seven year tutelage ends in a messy fallout.

    All the while slowly going insane from emotional confusion, stress and possible maternal anxiety.

    Oh and did we forget to mention that she also has to face her own past demons as well?

    Summary

    I grow weary of your unabashed laziness. You are supposed to be my most trusted herald, and yet you pawn off your duties? If you do not return to your station within the next several days you will be received with punishment most severe. Do not disappoint me further.

    -

    Zeus demands Hermes return to his station instead of slacking off in Ithaca. Despite the fact that he continues to be more holey than holy after Poseidon's torment, Hermes is not about to disobey a direct order.

    Others in his family seem to disagree on that front.

    Summary

    “And lastly the wind bag - we went through so much to get this.”

     

    When Poseidon realizes that Hermes is the reason for Odysseus' success after leaving Ogygia, he takes matter into his own hands. Apollo, meanwhile, is desperately tired of his siblings angering their elders.

    At least Athena is made for war. When Hermes is unable to withstand Poseidon's wrath, he'll need a little divine intervention or two of his own.

    Summary

    There were eyes watching him. Wherever he goes, he feels them watching him. They stalk him through the halls, when he walks into town, negotiating trades and alliances with fishermen or neighboring kingdoms, he can feel them watching him. At the end of the hallway until he turns the corner and suddenly it’s like they’re on top of him, or through windows or crowds as he walks through the markets, buying something for his family.

     

    (Or Poseidon gets obsessed and wants to be friends, Athena wants to make amends, Odysseus wants Gods out of his life)

    Summary

    “What do you want?” Odysseus did not even try to hide the quiver in his voice. But Telemachus knew that his father was not only frightened but also furious, and his fury passed on to his son. Why would the gods not leave their family alone? Had all the years of hardship and suffering, all the tears his mother had shed, the blood his father had spilled, not been enough to deserve even a moment of peace?

    But the gods do not know peace. And they certainly do not know how to forgive.

    -

    Instead of attacking Odysseus when he was almost home, Poseidon waits until the man who maimed Polyphemus and escaped punishment for it lets his guard down, and then hits him in his weakest spot. His own son.

    Summary

    “Do you know her?” he inquired, hoping to learn of her. Maybe she was the friend Athena had mentioned? Although it wouldn’t make much sense…

    “I do not, Little Wolf. But I've been observing her for quite some time.” Athena answered as she tilted her head down, tapping a finger against her wrist plates, the gold covered by the shadows the tree leaves formed “She comes here nearly every day, with a wooden spear, and just trains. At times, I've seen her train with a man with eyes the same color as gold and hair white like feathers. But she comes here every day, at the crack of dawn.” she explained, looking back at the woman.

    Summary

    This wasn’t the first time the two have fought.

    Being two Gods of war, of course they’d butt heads. They’d fight, they’d spar, they’d argue.

    But nothing like this.

    It wasn’t even supposed to be serious.

    A game their father set up, a challenge and trial.

    They never really fought over anything serious. This mortal wasn’t serious either. Not to Ares at least.

    But he has never seen his sister fight so hard.
