    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

    Time woven, now unwoven.

    Prophecies spoken, now unspoken.

    Threads unraveled and fates forever altered.

    Future rewound and past hastened til present abounds.

    Brace yourselves, chosen heroes. A storm is coming unlike any before it, and if you are not prepared, it will sweep you under.
    ***
    Odysseus isn’t sure what he had been expecting when he arrived at the island the Lotus Eaters sent them to, but it wasn’t this.

    An innocent child trapped in the grasp of a man-eating monster who professes no fear for the gods and a disrespect for the rules of hospitality.

    Meanwhile, Percy Jackson has no clue what’s going on or how he ended up here. He just knows that he needs to get out of here before he becomes the one-eyed monster’s next meal.

    Summary

    The island is cursed, but there is one final thing he has not tried, something entirely out of his control, something more like a fleeting final hope: a plea for divine intervention.

    Though it has been years since he contacted Athena, or seen Hermes, or anyone for that matter, he knows it is this or nothing.

    He forces his mouth open and with his remaining sanity he calls out,

    “Poseidon!”

    Wait, what?
    _

    Odysseus decides to call out to Athena for help, but the name that leaves his mouth instead makes his head spin.

    Summary

    When the club smashed down Polites’ head - Odysseus’ world was diminished to ashes.
    How could he go on without his husband, his light? What would prevent him from resorting to ruthlessness and vanquishing any foe he would encounter instead of treating them with kindness like his beloved did?
    He calls to his longtime mentor Athena in desperation, begging her to find a balm that will alleviate his anguish, yet the nature of the gods prevails, and she refuses to intervene in the natural order of events.
    That's when Odysseus - ever cunning and insightful - decides to threaten suicide in front of his patron goddess, seeing no other way to continue his life without the other half of his soul, and hoping to persuade her to submission.
    The flashing-eyed goddess is caught with a wave of empathy foreign to her, and she agrees to help her prized mentee - but divine intervention comes with a price, and this one’s is particularly cruel -
    Forgetfulness.

    Summary

    Soaked limbs in which water plentifully drips off from his bronzed skin and returns to the silky substance below, a blank reflection that peers to the front and blinks right back in it’s view.

    Mild pain that pricks in pieces such as peeling paint or flaking blood that stains seems to blossom on Odysseus’ body, swallowing nothing but drying air with tightened lungs and a caverned chest that caves in with each breath.

    -

    With wise decisions does Odysseus manage to pass by the land of the cyclops without anyone dying, yet resulting in having to dock on a different one nearby for repairs.

    Odysseus has yet to encounter any misfortune

    Until he does

    Summary

    “Odysseus is wary of this strange masked figure; he doesn’t know what to make of it. He and Polites were about to leave the cave the lotus eaters informed them about until his friend started walking towards the figure. He knew of Polite's almost naive level of optimism, but this was too much even for him. Just as Polites made the figure aware of them with a greeting, Odysseus gripped his sword tightly, preparing to unsheathe the weapon. The figure turned slowly. Polites words from earlier ringed in his ears: ‘greet the world with open arms’. Odysseus sighed, loosening his grip on his blade. ”

    Or Midoriya accidentally lands himself in the Epic the musical’s version of the odyssey and makes Odysseus’s journey back home a relatively more easy but just as eventful one.
