    Summary

    Odysseus tried reaching out as well. Prayers, offerings, mind links, anything he could think of.

    Nothing worked. Athena was completely silent. He was beginning to lose hope that she would ever come back. That she broke her promise again.

    Until today.

    But even he could have never expected something like this.

    What if Zeus said no to freeing Odysseus? What if Athena went behind his back to free him? This is the consequence of her reckless actions.

    Summary

    Odysseus of Ithaca, the sovereign king who returned home after endless challenges and tragedies, had too much unfinished business with this divinity.

     

    Resentment, disbelief, disappointment.

     

    What surfaces in him when he hears her scream is completely different.

     

    The mortal squeezes the dirty cloth so hard that it begins to leak.

     

    "Who did this to you?"

     

    [Or also, Owl!Athena appears in the castle badly injured.]

    Summary

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    Odysseus of Ithaca, his family by his side. A family more loving than the one the gods were born into. And is that not tragic? They are supposed to be more than humans in every way and yet, somehow, this is the part where they’ve failed. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: divine and powerful and above all mortal, ageless and holy and fated to be great. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: a father who struck down his child and her siblings who stood by and did nothing but watch. What does it mean, to be a god? He does not have an answer.

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    Faintly, Apollo realises that Athena does not think of her family as she dies – but of a mortal man and his wife and son; of a carved wooden owl and olive trees; of an infant in her arms and bright smiles.

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    (or: Gods are complex beings. That does not mean being siblings means nothing- not when their sister is suffering their fathers wrath. It is wrong: they will not stop it. All they can do is collect what's left in the aftermath, and pray that it may heal.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Wonderful poetry from all gods pov, Athena dies but resurrected, kind of cliff hanger but a satisfactory ending.

    Summary

    What if the entire Iliad and Odyssey was just one night? What if that night was actually a modern frat party with a bunch of dumb college kids? Well, that's what this is!

    Menelaus is throwing a party to get back together with Helen, Achilles is picking fights about homophobia, and Odysseus just wants to get to his girlfriend Penelope but keeps facing setbacks.

    Inspired by a Tumblr post that theorized about this exact scenario.

    Summary

    Odysseus looks at the map.

    He looks out the window.

    He looks at the map again.

    “This,” he says at length, “cannot be the way.”

    He risks a glance at Athena, who is white-knuckling the steering wheel, unblinking eyes fixed on the road ahead. It takes a brave man to tell the goddess of wisdom she’s wrong. It takes a braver man still — or perhaps just a foolish one — to do so from the passenger seat while she’s driving.

    ***

    Odysseus, Athena, and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip.
