    Which was fine. He just needed to get into the ship, unnoticed, and take the bundle in his arms to his private quarters, and pretend that the child he held wasn’t the key to future wars. Everything was going to be fine.

    In which Odysseus doesn't kill Astyanax.

    Summary

    Astyanax has stopped whimpering by the time they reach the shores of Ithaca. A crowd has gathered on the beaches, cheering and making music. Odysseus can see Penelope at the front of the crowd, her hair blowing this way and that in the breeze. Tucked on her side, probably too big to really be carried anymore but this occasion is special, is Telemachus, who stares at the ship with a gap-tooth smile.

    Despite everything, Odysseus feels his whole body relax at the familiar feeling of the ship scraping the sand beneath it.

    Penelope's eyes meet his and then trail down to the small child in his arms. He realizes how this must look.

    --- --- ---
    Odysseus saves Astyanax, the gods are cruel, and Penelope is the best wife.

    Summary

    Odysseus does raise Astyanax as his own, and he does burn Odysseus' house and throne. Because he accidentally starts a fire at seven years old. It was an accident and he really didn't mean to and he's really sorry. And Odysseus dies (not literally) by laughing at the gods and fate because the oracles work in mysterious ways.
