Summary
if anything in the tags turns y'all off this fic, please read the notes first because they might fix it
---------------
When the kings of Greece come to conscript Odysseus for the Trojan War, Penelope of Ithaca knows one thing: she will not lose her husband to war, and she will not let her son be used to take him. In a desperate attempt to save her family, Penelope offers herself to the war effort in Odysseus's place.
Penelope is whisked away to Troy with her army, and a devastated Odysseus is left to raise his infant son alone. Even when the war ends, their trials do not. Penelope faces gods and monsters while Odysseus struggles to rule Ithaca and protect himself and his son from the malevolent suitors seeking his hand.
Essentially, the plot of EPIC, but Penelope and Odysseus's places are switched, and the Ithaca side of the plot is quite a bit darker.

Summary
“So you do not have a family.”
It was a statement, not a question, but he still nodded.
“You have no name to align with your own.”
“The others at the palace had taken to referring to me as ‘The Son of Sisyphus’. I do not wish to be called that.”
He sounded pitiful, and yet there was still not any sign of that cursed emotion in her eyes. Instead there was something sharp and hair-raising about the way her pupils seemed to grow and then shrink the longer she looked at him.
“You are alone.”
“I am alone. . .” he whispered, knowing she heard him. “I do not wish to be forever.”
At the age of twelve Odysseus is ripped from his home and stripped of his titles after narrowly avoiding execution by his own father's hands. Unable to find stability, his wanderings lead him to Sparta. There he meets Menelaus and, by the other prince's encouragement, agrees to compete for Helen’s hand for the sake of food and shelter. Unsure of what comes next, Odysseus only knows one thing: his struggles are far from over. . .
Inspired by the non-Homeric myth of Odysseus’s father being Sisyphus rather than Laertedes, and my own love for a certain song that introduced me to EPIC.

Summary
Odysseus starts at Illian High School. His parents are dead, his sister is in college, and all of his friends go to a different school. On top of that, his guardians hate him and tear down his self-esteem. He doesn't want to get close to anyone. He doesn't need more people to care about. He's just a burden anyway. At a party, though, Diomedes finally approaches the smartest kid in school, who doesn't want to get close to anyone. Will he and the Achaeans (what Diomedes dubbed their friend group) uncover what lies beneath Odyssues's carefully curated mask?

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
Dying as the infamous villain of Ithaca, Antinous realized far too late that he was never after the throne. What he truly wanted was the prince, Telemachus. Given a second chance by the god of time, Chronos, he was sent back to the year he was only eight. Determined to change his fate and carve a better path for the boy he once failed, Antinous also set out to rewrite the destiny of the one man who changed everything: Odysseus. But redemption was never simple. As the gods watched and the threads of fate twisted and burned, he had to choose who he would become, this time with the world watching.
This was the beginning of Antinous: The Redemption Arc.

Summary
For sixteen years, Patroclus has worked hard to keep the war from harming those he loved the most. He convinced Achilles to choose peace and life over glory, and together they had grown and raised their family. He was convince King Peleus and the foreign leaders alike to keep Phthia out of the war, preventing a single man from being shipped to the beaches of Troy. He had worked hard to keep the peace, and for a long time, succeeded.
But that was before the cunning King of Ithaca uses his tricks to attack the peaceful family on their eldest's 16th birthday, taking away their peace, their safety and their oldest son. That was before Odysseus showed he thought himself entitled to take it all. That was before Odysseus showed he thought no consequences would come to him.
Patroclus would prove him wrong, ensuring the Ithacan King lost what he had lost. That all those war-mongering kings, the ones whose arrogance and entitlement kept the war raging for 16 years, would lose it all.
OR
Patroclus decides to avenge his time by conquering Greece.

Summary
When Odysseus walked into algebra that fateful morning, he never expected to be sat to his crush since the beginning of time itself, Penelope Icaria.
But fate works in mysterious ways and through numerous encounters in and outside of school, beginning with a simple photography project, these two will form a blossoming relationship. The real question is, will Odysseus ever actually tell Penelope how he feels? I guess you'll have to read to find out...
(Sorry, I suck at summaries. Other characters and their lives will also be important, ex. Achilles and Patroclus (I exist mostly to consume/create gay shit), but OdyPen will be the main focus of this fic if I am actually ableto write anything semi-cohesive. Also Idk why that's the title, I'm going a bit insane.) -

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.

Sadly, some habits are harder to break than others. Especially Telemachus and everyone here, but will they fail and let their lives fall apart, or will they help pick each other up and break these cycles.
Some habits never die but people sure do
