Summary
“Do you remember the feast we promised?” Eurylochus asked, and Odysseus nodded. “Most of the men would stay and contribute to the arrangements. Pay our respects to the god to whom we may owe our lives.”
Odysseus waited. Most.
“After the celebration, they would request a final act of generosity from you.”
“They want ships,” Odysseus said, the moment he realised this. Of course they did. Soft beds and warm meals or not, they had families to return to. They had miles to put between themselves and him—and those who were at home on Ithaca, well, they would likely try to go about their lives without ever encountering Odysseus again.
It looked like it pained Eurylochus to say it aloud, to mention this thing that had hung over them all along. “Yes.”
“And what of the others?”
Eurylochus bit his lip for a moment, a flash of white teeth on dahlia-black ground. “The others would leave soon. Before the feast.”

or

Summary
“Telemachus,” Penelope said, passing a loving hand over her—their—son’s head. “This is your father.”
Odysseus heard the words as if underwater. He couldn’t believe he was hearing them at last, was seeing his son grown nearly as tall as him, that boyish face lighting up without hesitation, without a moment of doubt. He thought he might hesitate, that he’d keep his hands firm at his sides until Telemachus set the pace, careful not to intrude. He’d never really known his father, after all. But Telemachus bounced, at once caught up in an excitement that made Odysseus ache.
“He came back?” he asked, bright-eyed. Then, to Odysseus: “You came back!”
He had the voice of a growing boy, breaking on some syllables—even more so, it seemed, when he was excited. And it was all worth it, then. That pure, shining joy, the way there was not a second’s worth of disbelief. Odysseus’ eyes stung, and he hardly had enough time to open his arms before Telemachus was pushing himself between them.

Summary
This island is strange. Far stranger than anything Eurylochus has ever seen.
The deep, dense wood reeks of something other . The island big enough for a small village holds only an extravagant palace right in the heart of it. Nymphs and spirits and other immortal beings inhabit every corner. By the gods, his men were even turned to pigs by some witch!
All of this, and yet. The strangest thing on this whole, mystical island is one little boy.
Or, 'underneath the same moon, but in different universes' but in Eurylochus' POV.
