    Summary

    Through all the trials Odysseus faced on his way home, Ogygia was the worst.

    While Odysseus spared no effort to make back home to his wife and son, his captor and companion in isolation, the goddess Calypso, would not let the love of her life go so easily.

    This unbalanced relationship unfolds in seven endless years of unrequited love and growing pain.

    OR

    My take on the seven years Odysseus spent with Calypso.

    Summary

    Is a small shift in the universe enough to change fate, or is fate immutable? Is the path predestined and must we walk it no matter how it is walked? Or can we carve a new path borne of desire to change it all?

    Polites walks away from the Cyclops cave. Eurylochus doesn't. Will it matter in the end? Will things have changed? Or does it even matter that the end is the end, that the fated path will force their way onto it, when maybe, somehow, there's still a little less suffering in the middle? Must a change be grandiose for it to matter, or do the small hours and little moments make the same journey a little easier to bear no matter where they end up? Does the love that's there change anything at all, no matter how small?

    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.

    (Its Cassandra, they find my queen Cassandra)

    Summary

    "Take me instead," the boy pleads. "Please, take me instead."
    The gods are silent. The witch never listens. And Odysseus cannot save his son from hearing his screams.

    Or: What if Astyanax survived Troy, and Odysseus took him in—only for them both to become trapped on Ogygia?

    Summary

    Calypso’s face softened, she tried to mirror his crooked smile. “Oh, well.” Red bloomed in her round face. “I am not jesting. I am pregnant with our child, Love.”

    “Kill it.”

    She stilled. “What?”

    Odysseus was still grinning at her, the tears in his eyes made his gaze gleam like stars. “Kill it. Or should I do the deed?” His eyes widened as he nodded to himself. “I have killed a babe before. Hector’s lambkin. I shall do it again.” His chest was heaving with ragged breaths.

    Summary

    «And you? You… will you be there to help me?»
    Odysseus surprised even himself with the question that slipped from his lips before he’d fully realized it. In that moment, he understood just how badly he needed Athena to answer yes. It was just another cry for help he was making to the goddess of wisdom, but never before had it seemed so vital to know he had her on his side.
    «I'll be there, my friend,» Athena confirmed without hesitation. The goddess's lips curled into a small smile that Odysseus managed, almost effortlessly, to return with relief.
    However, when Athena spoke again, Odysseus couldn't help but feel all those positive and hopeful feelings being stripped away from him as easily as he had just thought them arise.
    «This brings me to having to tell you about Poseidon.»

    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

    “Why should I hate you?”

    Her question lacked the innocence a child should have. In fact, the way she spoke very maturely only brought a stab of guilt into his heart. She shouldn’t have to ask that question. She shouldn’t have to feel like she was undeserving of love. And yet, she was asking why she should hate him? After all the ways he had failed her?

    “Because I’m a monster,” he replied.

    The girl got up from the sand in response. Closing the distance, she walked until she was in front of him. The moon poured its silver light onto her, making her glow in an ethereal way like his Penelope. She knelt on her knees and looked up at him. Her eyes shone with a strong resolve.

    “You’re not a monster. You’re my father.”

    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

    Eurylochus’ face looms over him as he looks up, trying to push himself from the ground. His brother-in-law’s expression is one he’s seen many times before; he has just never been on the receiving end of it.

    Odysseus’ body seems too heavy for him to even stand, every time he tries to move, he is met with all-consuming pain and his lungs feel ready to collapse. He tries to speak, to plead, but all that comes out of his throat is a pathetic croak.

    “You are a twisted man, Odysseus. We were all just too trusting to see it.” Eurylochus’ words are sharp and biting, but they are true.

    Odysseus is twisted. He is sick and evil. He is a monster.

    ”You will go down in history just the same as Hector. Your legacy will be one of selfishness and cruelty. The people will know you as a liar and a whore. It is all you will ever be.” Eurylochus raises a foot and brings it down hard on Odysseus’ chest.

    He gasps and coughs, but somehow finds his voice, “They will not know you.”

    Eurylochus shouts as he raises his sword, and the last thing Odysseus sees is the blade headed for his jugular.

    Summary

    A version of Epic the Musical except written out like a story. I have become hyper focused on this fandom, so why not start another story that I have to keep track of. Has this been done before? Probably. Am I going to write this anyways? Yes, yes I am.

    Updates at random.
