    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.
