    Summary

    Polites frowned and shifted his weight, glancing out at the sea. The water glittered, harmless as glass. And yet—

    A restlessness. A whisper. Like the hush before a storm, when the wind tastes wrong. A prickle at the base of his skull, a flicker in his chest. Nothing he could name. Nothing he could fight. Just... wrongness.

    Maybe it was the knowledge that Odysseus and Penelope would be leaving soon. Maybe it was knowing that for the first time in nearly a year, Ithaca would sleep without its king. Maybe it was nothing but nerves, the aftertaste of old wars that never quite leave a man.
     

    Or, when Odysseus leaves for a conference on the mainland, the burden of Ithaca's safety lands squarely on Polites's shoulders. But with dark shadows circling nearby and a young prince to protect, can Polites handle the weight, or is Ithaca—and Telemachus—doomed to fall?

    Summary

    Athena smiled and removed her helmet, placing it and her spear against the wood. "Hello, Telemachus. Do you know who I am?"

    He studied her, a little shy at first. After a minute of silence, he took courage. "Athena? The goddess of wisdom?"

    "Exactly." She sat right next to him.

    ***

    He had stepped away, and Polites had looked away for a moment. When he looked at him again, Odysseus looked...
    "Aren't you tired, Polites? Of this."

    "Of being rejected?" he asked.

    Odysseus nodded.

    "Yes. I never know how you'll react, and once upon a time, everyone knew how you reacted to me. But there are no other options."

    Eurylochus had told him to leave him behind. Eurylochus was stronger than him: Polites couldn't do it. Polites didn't want to go any further, he didn't want to lose anyone.

    ***
    They've entered where even the gods don't dare. And now they must figure out how to get out.

    Also: the story in which the past comes to take its toll.

    Summary

    “Astyanax. Or… Scamandrius,” the one-eyed monster says, and laughs. “Named after both the city and river you were taken from. Fitting.”

    He leans in close. The boy can smell the sourness of blood on his breath.

    “Kill them for me, won’t you?” he breathes, voice hypnotizing. “Take from them,” and here his voice becomes deeper, rougher, scarier, and the boy lets out a cry of fear at the look on his face, “like they took from us.”

     

    Or: 10 times someone tells Astyanax his true identity, plus 1 time he decides who he is for himself.

    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

    Odysseus half-stood, half-leaned against the prow of the ship. Perhaps he ought to have been worried about the possibility falling into the water from his usual position, due to his current state and dizziness. Perhaps he would have been, had he been able to think clearly through the dark clouding in his mind.

    “Captain?”
    “What?” Odysseus didn’t have the strength to bother turning back to face whoever had addressed him- that would mean having to let go of the wood that was supporting him.
    “I think you should take a break.”

    When Odysseus falls ill, he tries to push through, to tough it out, to ignore the pain.
    But Polites is none too pleased at Odysseus' treatment of himself, so he takes matters into his own hands.

    Summary

    Odysseus’s most prized possession was not a treasure his father brought back from another city, nor was it the delicious wine that Ithaca was well known for.

    No, it was his wings.

    Summary

    "You never swore to fight for my marriage," Helen began.

    Patroclus' hand twitched before his gaze returned to where it was. "No, I didn't. Achilles did."

    ***

    Achilles, brave Achilles, dropped his sword and ran to him. No one dared move as he grabbed his shoulder and a moment later Achilles's lips were on his and Patroclus was home.

    "Oh, no," Polites muttered at the edge of his vision.

    ***

    "It's fine," said Odysseus, surprising even himself. "It's fine, I want to see Telemachus. He and his mother are all I've fought for."

    ***

    The story where a prophecy leads Achilles to Patroclus, Menelaus to Helen, and everyone else into a ditch.

    So, the lovely crew of Epic: the Musical are reacting to the musical, duh. I have thrown in a bit of a twist, but I'm not gonna spoil it here. Working on the tags and shit, promise. For the moment I don't plan to add anyone else, but I might change that, haven't decided yet.

    He's accompanied by the patron god of travelers himself, despite not having invited him.

    Summary

    Polites tried his hardest not to think about all the men and women and even children that had met their end by his own hand, all the pools of blood he had spilled. The people who had been in much the same position of survival as him, forced to witness and participate in the horrors of a war none of them had asked for. He rarely slept through each night, nightmares lurking in the darkness if the sheer guilt alone didn't daunt his exhaustion enough to keep his eyes wide open.

    Despite all his own hardships born of the years engaging in activities that went against every fiber of his belief system, he still made time to check in on the other men. He especially made sure to keep an eye on his best friend. Odysseus. His king, his captain, his friend, his lover.
