    Summary

    Odysseus thinks of Iris often. Too often. More often than he thinks of Penelope. His wife, loyal and cunning and brave. His wife, whose face he can barely remember and whose voice is just a whisper in his ears.

    His wife, who had not marched out onto the battlefield with him at Troy. His wife, who had not gotten on her hands and knees and begged Poseidon for mercy, or for Circe to show kindness, or for Zeus to take her instead.

    No, Odysseus rarely thinks of Penelope these days. It is always Iris.

    Summary

    Hermes’ form began to glow a sickly orange, radiating in waves as a pair of ram horns sprouted alongside the wings on his head. Odysseus watched with morbid curiosity as the rest of Hermes' body darkened, creating the illusion of a void besides the luminescent glow of his eyes and wings. His mouth seemed to glow with each word he spoke, but Odysseus couldn’t be sure as the deity took another step away from him and towards the goddess that haunted his life for seven years.

    “I have been patient, daughter of Pleione, but you have tested me. I came here with no intention of creating conflict, but you have given me NO choice!”

    Or

    What if Calypso was not so willing to let Odysseus go?

    Summary

    Odysseus is a woman, she spent ten years pretending to be a man for the war, and another ten trying to get back home to her wife. Everyone she's ever loved (and hated) will now know what's taken her so long to return to Ithaca.

    She spent so long pretending she was a man that she still referes to herself as a man
    Her eye colour changing is a thing so the colour will be mentioned a lot like an odd amount

    This is NOT accurate to actual lore!!!

    Summary

    There were rumors, quickly squashed by the island kingdom, that the Prince of Ithaca had grown wings on his feet when he was a boy. There were rumors that he had wings elsewhere too; on his back and behind his ears. They were squashed even quicker. Anyone who could get a look at the prince could see that his body was not adorned in feathers of any kind.

    None of them knew, and Ithaca’s royal family planned to keep it that way. Fearing that this problem of unknown origin (curse or yet another divine being’s fling with a mortal) would be seen as an insult to the gods and bring down their wrath. Odysseus has grown used to having to cut down or hide the extra appendages, but the struggle only grew when he was forced into the Trojan War.

    Now, with the war at its end and his fleet ready to return home, he only has one thing on his mind; getting back to his wife and son.

     

    OR

     

    An alternate universe where Hermes's relation to one particular Greek hero becomes a bit more prominent, and he suddenly has a much better reason to help Odysseus on his journey home.

      confused expression, Perimedes continued. "I mean, being 'close' doesn't mean you sleep in the same bed." He sighed and looked at Perimedes. "You don't have anything urgent soon, do you?" Polites asked, before taking a deep breath and he shook his head.

      "I love him - I know that much but recently I'm starting to feel like he also does, y'know?" He began to rant to Perimedes, who just sat there and nodded occasionally. "There's been a few times where I've definitely felt certain but then again he has Penelope and I don't even think I cross his mind that much."

    Summary

    Gods couldn’t die. The words repeated themselves in Ares's head.

    And yet, his sister lay unmoving on the floor of the main throne room, his father’s lightning still sparking violently through her body. His family stood by his side, but no one dared say the question aloud. So he made the choice to say what all in attendance thought.

    “...is she dead?”

    - - - - - - - - -

    This is a literary retelling of EPIC from Love in Paradise and beyond. If this picks up and gets some traction, I may also continue with the Vengeance Saga and the Ithaca Saga as well. And possibly beyond.

    This will be from the perspective of the gods - occasionally, there may or may not be a mortal point of view in certain cases, but mostly it’s focusing on the Greek pantheon’s perspective.

    Tags for this work will be updated as the series goes on.

    Summary

    What happens if you brought a celestial twink from Mondstadt in Greek Mythology?

    Absolute chaos of course.

    —–·

    Venti was just minding his business, when a portal suddenly appeared and dragged him to another world. His new destination? Falling face first on the ship where Odysseus was in.

    "What the fuck."

    Same disbelief was accompanied by shock, and the other crew members speaking.

    "Ehehe... Sooo.. Uh, just- you're friendly, neighborhood Bard! Yep.. Yep, that's me," Venti said, giving a thumbs up accompanied by a playful wink.

    "Ordinary Bard at your service!" He added with a bow, placing one hand over his chest, the other behind his back as he placed one of his leg behind the other.

    "A Bard.. Just.. Doesn't fall out from the sky." Odysseus bluntly stated.

    "..."

    Summary

    In the ninth year of the Trojan War, Odysseus and Diomedes are sent on a mission behind enemy lines to infiltrate the Trojans forces. There they would find a man who would give them information in exchange for his life.

    But this story follows a slightly different path.

    Instead of finding information, they find someone else vastly more interesting.

    Summary

    "Whatever you have there, I could give you here, my love." She says, laying him on the bed, cold and soaking wet.

    No you can't. He thinks. You can't give me my wife. You can't give me my son.

    Summary

    The island is cursed, but there is one final thing he has not tried, something entirely out of his control, something more like a fleeting final hope: a plea for divine intervention.

    Though it has been years since he contacted Athena, or seen Hermes, or anyone for that matter, he knows it is this or nothing.

    He forces his mouth open and with his remaining sanity he calls out,

    “Poseidon!”

    Wait, what?
    _

    Odysseus decides to call out to Athena for help, but the name that leaves his mouth instead makes his head spin.
