    Summary

    ~ She turned to look at him again. They stood before each other and spat out venom, but no one would win. Only a battlefield of a boy’s fury and a goddess’s quiet regret.

     

     

     

    “Your heart is cold. You fight and whisper wisdom to be known, like the rest of them.”

     

     

      

     

    Odysseus once assumed she was untouchable. An immortal strength wrapped in bronze and wisdom. But no. She was human in her pain, and she had borne it alone.

     

     

     

     

    And suddenly, all his cleverness—all his prized wit—was useless. What trick, what scheme, what plan could undo this kind of agony?

    (OR!!! After Odysseus and Athena's messy splitting in "My Goodbye", Athena finds herself spending each day trying to repay her debt to Odysseus without him even knowing it.)

    (Basically an Athena-centric Fanfic based during and after "My Goodbye" with a lot of angst. Major focus on Athena, i'm terrible at summarising.)

    Summary

    In the days of Ancient Greece, divine intervention was an everyday factor of life, but what are humans without change? As times passed and values shifted, so did beliefs: and soon the gods of Olympus began to lose mortal faith. Thus gradually slipped their control over the happenings of the world, and any sort of interference ended up problematic or redundant, causing either widespread chaos, or failing to achieve any intended effects.

    Over the course of medieval, Renaissance, and all following eras' religious changes, advancements of science, and sociopolitical/cultural shifts, as well as increasing international interaction, the gods began to distance themselves from the mortal realm. Finally, after centuries of turmoil and accidental world wars, they finally agreed on one thing: they must withdraw entirely.

    But now it's the 21st century, and the gods are bored. They've been holed up in Olympus for decades, centuries even, and they want to be able to mess around again - so why not follow them in their misadventures and their divinely fucked-up group chats, whether they're messing around down in the mortal realm or up in the heavens?
