    Summary

    When Odysseus arrives in Sparta as a suitor for Helen, he expects politics and ceremony, not the sharp-witted, fiercely proud Penelope, daughter of Icarius. What begins as rivalry and resentment soon twists into a charged, undeniable attraction neither can ignore, though both will try.

    Summary

    “Odysseus.” Odysseus did not startle. He also did not greet Diomedes despite having known of his approach. “Odysseus?”

    Perhaps this was some sort of battle related trauma. Diomedes ended up sitting down besides Odysseus and let his shoulder bump against the sullen King. “Talk to me, friend.”

    “...About what?”

    “What’s going on? Polites is concerned, so are your men. Was it the blood? Or the men who fell? Rest assured, friend, none of yours fell today.”

    “Do you think King Sisyphus fights against his punishment? Do you think the Fates would allow him, if he did?”

    Flinching, Diomedes observed the change in Odysseus’ eyes. Instead of the colour of the sea, Odysseus’ eyes were taken over by a hue of red– only noticeable when observed in a certain angle but definitely present. Diomedes knew what caused a hue of red like that.

    Odysseus had been touched by Ares’ Rage.

    —---

    In which Odysseus is dropped back in time into the Trojan War and chooses to mess with everyone until it gets him killed or gets him back to Penelope. Others take notice.

    Or, Odysseus is soooo done.

    Summary

    What would you be willing to risk for the sake of your reputation?

    Anything, he once would have answered.

    But now?

    "Anything...but her."

     

    Follows the trojan war all the way through the Odyssey, but they're in high school. Buckle up, boys.

    Summary

    Typically, the Ithican king can rule out the stares he gets from his own men as admiration. But ever since he got off their ships, he’s had people practically surrounding him. Much to his own dissatisfaction, they seem to be in-tranced by some source that he hopes isn’t harmful to their journey.

    Summary

    Odysseus of Ithaca had always been different. Relying more on intelligence then strength, cunning over pure power, he had always stood out. But, he never realized how much he stood out until he left the safety of his kingdom to fight in the war.

    Using his charms to get what he wanted was all well and good, but not if it gained some unwanted attention. After all, he never learnt how to tone it down and now, he's starting to realize that some people might take his actions as further than he ever intended. Add to that a mysterious God that had blessed him with a power that he never knew he had and he was in for the wildest ride of his life.

    Oh dear...

    Looks like things were about to get messy.

    Summary

    Odysseus knew he had always been different. Apathetic, narcisstic, and well...greedy for power. But he had a guardian that helped coached him through these feelings that hid in the shadows...literally. Helped him hide them away in a mask of kindness and pleasant words. He learned how to weave his words like the strings of fates itself, making his own tapestry.

    Blessed by his guardian with knowledge and a voice that can captivate others, it is now time for him to captivate those in power in his skillfully weaved web of manipulation and spread his web influence throughout the world.

    Oh boy...the world is in it for a gods damn treat.

    It's just if Of Flesh, Blood, and Ichor Odysseus was in Voice of an Angel instead of sweet oblivious VOA!Odysseus. The chapter events are just basically the same but my Odysseus does things...very differently. he's not a good person guys!!

    All my love to the two fics listed and their authors. Absolutely adored their fics and I recommend you read them. They're so fucking good. Like deliciously, delectably, beautifully, good!!

    Summary

    Odysseus goes off to war, leaving Penelope and Telemachus to defend Ithaca. Penelope trains a fighting force, puts down uprisings, and weathers storms. Then - after the war is over and Odysseus should return - she and Telemachus deal with the uncertainty of a finished war but no returning hero. The suitors descend, and Penelope and Telemachus are defending Ithaca once again.

    Odysseus returns. And it's a mess.

    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 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

    In four years Odysseus would send “concerning” texts to Penelope. In four years Ctimene would still be cleaning up the cracks. In four years his mask would break. That's a story in itself. But what got him there? What began the spiral? How did he end up texting Penelope he wanted to die? It didn't all just begin before he turned 16. No, no, no. There was much more. So many more incidents that led up to that moment. For now, he was twelve and his mother had cancer and his best friends were trying to keep him from falling apart, with varying degrees of success

    Summary

    '“With hindsight,” Agamemnon declared after another while, once he'd been suitably pet into a shape more resembling contemplation, with subsequent lamentation, than abject misery and hopelessness, “I probably shouldn't have started with the red wine reduction.”

    “No,” Odysseus agreed immediately with a loud snort of amusement, knowing exactly where this would've ended up, “as I'm sure the red wine reduced first and foremost by being drunk by your so-called students.”

    “Yes. And shortly thereafter by me, once I realised just what I had done to myself,” Agamemnon sighed, rotating himself like a pig on a spit roasting over a fire so that he was now on his back, face up, and those large, liquid dark, ox's eyes of his could gaze mournfully up at Odysseus with appropriate levels of pathos. “I needed it for medicinal purposes,” he explained plaintively.'

    After a long and arduous day of drilling formations and training with his soldiers in preparation for the forthcoming war, Odysseus retires to discover that his dearest Agamemnon has suffered FAR more: trying to teach a handful of grown men how to cook some basic meals. Ody straps in to listen to Agamemnon's woes (and tries (fails) not to laugh TOO loudly at them).

    Summary

    "What is the point,” she whispered, “if the shell of his mother still walks the halls… but she has turned hollow? If I become a vessel of grief and nothing more?”

    He had no answer.

    Only silence.

    Only the roaring tide of his own heart beating wildly beneath his ribs, aching for her, for the love they shared, for the impossible ask he had laid at her feet. He would not be able to continue on in a world without her and yet…

    “You must,” he murmured again, more to himself now than to her.

    Her gaze softened. Her hand cupped his face. “Then return to me,” she said. “That is the only answer I will accept. Come back to me, Odysseus. No matter how long it takes. No matter how lost you become. Find your way back. There is no Penelope without Odysseus.

    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?
