Summary
Odysseus/Penelope role-swap AU + Athena & Ares role-swap AU
“Alright, my brothers, listen closely,” Penelope says as she takes the torch from Eurylochus' hand to the men in front of her. “Tonight we make the Trojans pay!”She is the only woman in the army and commander—courtesy of Ares, her patron god—and, as expected, is heavily underestimated by both friends and foes, but tonight, she'll prove herself; she created a plan with the help of her good friend, Polites: To gift the Trojans a wooden horse, but make it empty inside and hide her troop in it to invade Troy and finally end the ten-year-long war.
Ten years of war. Ten years of war, the Trojan killed them slowly. Oh, how she misses her family. Her father, her husband, and her son…
“Think of your wives and your children.” Oh, her sweet, sweet Odysseus and her boy Telemachus. I'll be home soon, my loves, Penelope promises. “They're growing old, and yet, you're still here… Do what I say, and you'll see them again!”
