Summary
The windbag was lost to the waves. The rest of the fleet was gone. When Poseidon offered Odysseus a chance for him and his remaining men to survive, what could Odysseus do but take it?
Now all he has to do is get his remaining crew home alive... while he's incapable of getting on the ship and will most certainly cause panic and incite attacks from any humans who catch sight of him. Surely keeping his crew (and himself) fed and supplied on the way won't be that big of an issue, right?

Summary
Odysseus has been wandering the corpse-filled remains of Troy, picking off the wandering dead and dreaming of a home he cannot return to. The Infection filling his lungs has made sure of that. So when a new ship of uninfected people arrive on the shores, he prepares to protect them and scare them off.
There's a familiar face among the newcomers.
(Or, Zombie Odysseus meets Survivor Telemachus. There are tears.)

Summary
Athena had told Telemachus to find the monster known as the "Nowhere King" for answers about his father, Odysseus. The monster in question, which has been active for around seven years, collects bones. Telemachus doesn't expect to find his father alive, but if he can bring home a body - well, that kind of closure will allow him to make his own claim on the throne without worrying about usurpation.
The Nowhere King is... strange. And not just because it is a mess of stolen bones held together by tar. Intelligent monsters are the most dangerous, but there's something about it that feels... almost familiar.

Summary
Helios and Zeus agree to let bygones be bygones if the men who ate Helios' beloved friends are willing to give up something precious to feed the one man who didn't partake. Nothing drastic, just something small. Like a finger. If they all pitch in, and their captain accepts their offering, they can all go home.
(Or, the remaining 36 crew each has to remove a finger and Odysseus has to eat those fingers, or they all die.)

Summary
Polyphemus happens to be in just the right spot to separate Odysseus from his men when they first arrive in the cave, before anyone manages to cause any harm. Xenia is invoked and respected, agreements are made, and Odysseus gets to leave with supplies and directions for the price of a few barrels of wine. Everything is good!
Except Athena appears and disavows him with teary eyes afterward. Something happened in Polyphemus' cave that makes her cut contact, and Odysseus has no idea what.
