Unmistakably an omega.

Summary
Antinous wasn’t a good person. He knew that. He never considered himself a righteous or moral person. He was selfish, barbaric, and perhaps even vain. He knew. But in a man eats man world, could anyone truly blame him?
He wasn't a good person. But perhaps he’d have to become one. Simply for the sake of staying alive.
See, recently, the Gods have been sending him dreams. Dreams of blood dripping onto castle floors from freshly lopped off heads rolling on the tiles. Dreams of Ithaca’s old King staring at him from afar, and angry red eyes shifting across the room, searching for his next prey. Dreams of a tightly wound bow, one that only Odysseus could wield, lodging a sharp arrow into his throat. Dreams like that.
Also, on an unrelated note, why the hell was everyone randomly breaking out into song?

Summary
“So you do not have a family.”
It was a statement, not a question, but he still nodded.
“You have no name to align with your own.”
“The others at the palace had taken to referring to me as ‘The Son of Sisyphus’. I do not wish to be called that.”
He sounded pitiful, and yet there was still not any sign of that cursed emotion in her eyes. Instead there was something sharp and hair-raising about the way her pupils seemed to grow and then shrink the longer she looked at him.
“You are alone.”
“I am alone. . .” he whispered, knowing she heard him. “I do not wish to be forever.”
At the age of twelve Odysseus is ripped from his home and stripped of his titles after narrowly avoiding execution by his own father's hands. Unable to find stability, his wanderings lead him to Sparta. There he meets Menelaus and, by the other prince's encouragement, agrees to compete for Helen’s hand for the sake of food and shelter. Unsure of what comes next, Odysseus only knows one thing: his struggles are far from over. . .
Inspired by the non-Homeric myth of Odysseus’s father being Sisyphus rather than Laertedes, and my own love for a certain song that introduced me to EPIC.

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
The ships crested over the horizon like tired seabirds, their sails ragged from the journey but still proud in the wind. The waters around Ithaca sparkled in welcome, and the cliffs, long-remembered, seemed to lean forward to greet them.
They had done the impossible. After ten years of war and weeks at sea, the men of Ithaca were coming home—whole.
Or, before leaving Troy, Odysseus does the smart thing and packs enough supplies for the return trip to Ithaca. As a result, all 600 men return. And Odysseus returns to his family.
Meanwhile, Polites's return is bittersweet. He has no family awaiting his return. That is until a tiny hand grips his in the middle of the crowded reunion and a pair of familiar eyes blink up at him.
Now, in this time of peace after 10 years at war, Ithaca's King and his brother-in-arms must rediscover what it means to live free and to make a home in safety.

Summary
The halls of Ithaca's palace were steeped in shadow, lit only by scattered torches flickering against worn limestone walls. The scent of salt and lavender hung in the air—sea breeze mixing with herbs burnt in offering to the gods. Somewhere deep in the stone belly of the palace, Penelope laboured, her cries muffled by thick wooden doors and the whispers of anxious servants.
And Odysseus? Odysseus was unraveling.
He paced the length of the great hall with the energy of a cornered wolf, his bronze-clad sandals slapping sharply against the flagstones. Each lap was punctuated by muttered prayers: to Athena for wisdom, to Artemis for safe passage through womanly trials, to Hera for strength, to Hades—gods forbid—that he might be bargained with.
Or, when Odysseus is anxious for the birth of his child, it's up to Polites to calm him down. After all, if he's going to be "uncle Polites", the first task is grounding Ody.

Summary
The mood shifted like stormwinds when one of the guests—a Mycenaean lordling with too much wine and too few brain cells—stumbled too close to Penelope. He grabbed her wrist with a laugh, fingers lingering too long, too bold.
Odysseus was already halfway to standing, jaw tight, his cup forgotten at his feet. “I’ll kill him,” he muttered.
“No, you won’t,” Polites said quickly. “You’ll throw the kingdom into war.”
“I’ll be very diplomatic,” Odysseus growled. “Then I’ll kill him.”
But then, as they watched, Penelope moved.
Or, Odysseus is a simp and loves that his girlfriend could beat him up if she wanted.

Summary
Percy doesn’t check behind him as he weaves through the aisles of the flower shop, not even when someone yells at him to stop running — no thanks! —, but he soon realizes it was a very bad idea to run inside because now he’s looking at a wall filled with flower arrangements and no way out.
There’s sounds of running steps behind him and he grabs a vase of flowers before turning back around, ready to throw it at the crazy woman who tried to say she’s his mom, only to spot her stopping a few feet away from him with a pained gasp — there’s something shiny sliding right through the middle of her chest — and then exploding into golden dust.
What?
