Summary
Antinous survives the Ithaca Saga with intervention from the gods; he wishes he hadn't.
Zeus claims Antinous as his newest cup bearer and a plaything for Ganymede. The man is unwillingly transformed into a minor god over the course of a year on Olympus. He has to adjust to his new station in life and the many complications of Zeus's experimental godly ascension while fending off his and Ganymede's attentions, Hera's wrath, and Athena's cold hatred.
After five years of this torment, he sees a chance for escape, but things are complicated when Ganymede is injured in the process. Even worse, he lands on Ithaca, outside of the royal palace, where he begs the Prince of Ithaca for sanctuary.
The royals have to decide what to do with the two godlings on their doorstep and what kind of justice they will demand from Antinous after his actions as a Suitor. But when Antinous's strange new powers present complicate life and Telemachus finds himself sympathizing with the tortured god's situation, he is torn between old memories and new resolutions for peace with his enemies.
Despite all of this work, Zeus is not one to be slighted.
