Argeiphontes by TheFeatherlessBiped

Summary
Gods and mortals alike seem to be under the impression that killing the giant Argus Panoptes was easy. Simple, even. After all, "argeiphontes" was just another title, and it's not like it was achieved with heroics. Some people say he just chucked a rock at the giant and called the job done.
Okay, maybe it wasn't flashy or heroic.
Maybe it wasn't achieved by the most powerful god.
Maybe it wasn't exactly the most noble either — something that would go on to haunt the messenger for what may well be eternity.
But it sure wasn't easy.

Summary
Hermes, the messenger god, has been overworked to no end for days and often misses a few messages. Zeus has had "enough" and exiles him, leading to him having to reside in Ithaca with the royal family. They would've gone to the underworld but Zeus has convinced him that Tiresias was the reason of his exile and that he had gone out of their way to tell Hades to suggest to Zeus that Hermes should be exiled, convincing him that Tiresias had only ever been out for Hermes' power. To furthen that belief Tiresias was used as a replacement of Hermes, leading to many gods hating him, except for Aphrodite.
Tiresias often resides in Ithaca as the trees are comfortable. Them and Hermes often end up meeting each other.
The rest is for you to find out:3

Summary
Tiresias, despite his intense guilt for not doing more for Odysseus and so many others, has somehow become precious to the messenger god, Hermes. Zeus though, has never liked their friendship. Neither has Athena, or Apollo, or Hera…
Ok, fine. The list goes on for actually quite some time. One day, when Hermes was discovered sneaking off to go visit the prophet, Zeus has had ENOUGH. Frustrated by the god's antics, which he had previously ignored, Zeus decides to give Hermes his first punishment; he is now stuck in the Underworld until Zeus needs him. He could still fly, and the gods could visit him as they pleased, but that's the thing... none of the gods would even know what happened to the beloved messenger. Also angered by the prophet he was often visiting, Zeus decides to put some salt in Tiresias's already painful wounds; he could no longer see the future and the past until Hermes leaves the Underworld. Now stuck without the only reason he didn't let himself rot away, Tiresias must face all the guilt he had pent up from the past. But, how can he do that when the one thing keeping him from not having to is the one thing he doesn't want to lose?

"Show yourself..."
