Summary
Athena's been hurt, much more thoroughly than she realized was possible. For the first time in her immortal life, she is fighting against her own body and mind, and she doesn't know how to win.
Odysseus is home. After two more weeks on sea, a fight with 108 suitors and reunited with his family, he’s quietly accepted that even a desperate prayer won’t bring his former mentor to come back. Little does he know, for two weeks, it’s all Athena’s been trying to do.
Or, what if after God Games, Athena doesn’t wake up in the infirmary? What if it’s up to a few mortals to take care of the goddess that just collapsed in their palace, looking like she should very much be dead?
Updates on Sundays :)

Also sometimes it takes me a bit to respond to comments especially on earlier chapters bc as you can tell the amount of comments this fic gets is out of this world, but eventually I will reply, I appreciate them very muchSeries

Standing next to 108 suitors, Meletios couldn’t help but feel…inadequate. He was younger compared to all the other men, and in all honesty, wasn’t quite sure why he was even there. Then he catches the eyes of the prince, Telemachus.

I feel bad that telecommunications gets constantly bullied by the suitors so made a guy who was nice to him. Does anyone else make epic ocs?? I’m not sure

Summary
“Find that inner strength now, use that well of pride!” He motivated his men. “Fight through every pain now, ask yourself inside: What do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?” He motivated his soldiers.
The men repeated his words. “What do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?”
“Irenaeus, Irenaeus…and Eulalia…I fight for us, I fight for us!” He dragged out, yearning for the wife and child he left ten years ago.
What do you try for? “Irenaeus…”
What do you wish for? “Eulalia…”
What do you fight for? “Attack!”

Summary
˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.
Odysseus of Ithaca, his family by his side. A family more loving than the one the gods were born into. And is that not tragic? They are supposed to be more than humans in every way and yet, somehow, this is the part where they’ve failed. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: divine and powerful and above all mortal, ageless and holy and fated to be great. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: a father who struck down his child and her siblings who stood by and did nothing but watch. What does it mean, to be a god? He does not have an answer.
˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.
Faintly, Apollo realises that Athena does not think of her family as she dies – but of a mortal man and his wife and son; of a carved wooden owl and olive trees; of an infant in her arms and bright smiles.
˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.
(or: Gods are complex beings. That does not mean being siblings means nothing- not when their sister is suffering their fathers wrath. It is wrong: they will not stop it. All they can do is collect what's left in the aftermath, and pray that it may heal.)

Love in Paradise, except Odysseus actually steps off the ledge.
This doesn't end the story there. No, something much worse happens instead.(Please please please make sure to check the tags, the Dead Dove: Do Not Eat tag is here for a reason so please be mindful of that before reading.)

Summary
Irony is cruel, even for the gods.
For a year now, the golden blood in Athena's veins has turned red under influence of her father's golden lightning, and now she must learn to live with it. The idea of an immortal existence that suddenly turns into a time-limited life seems terrifying, but will she have to go through it all alone?
She is not the only god to suffer this punishment, now.
How did one decision make the lives of so many people and gods change track or make her see things she never saw before and learn to pass them on? Is this the only thing she'll pass when decides that the sands in hourglass are running too fast to live in her aching past? Will stripping a god of their divinity really be that simple and what consequences will it bring?
or
Someone else follows Athena's path with also incurs the wrath of God King, and an ex-goddess herself decides that there are other values in life than wisdom and war which she would like to explore.
Interwoven with many canons from the Odyssey as well as headcanons that had to find an outlet somewhere.

Summary
“If you’re looking for a mentor, I’ll make sure your time’s well spent.”
She held out a hand, hoping she was doing this mortal affection thing right.
Odysseus returned the handshake eagerly. “Sounds like a plan!” He flashed her a brilliant grin. “Goddess and man, bestest of friends—“
“We’ll see where it ends.” She may like him but she didn’t want him getting the wrong idea. He was first and foremost her pupil. She’d never had a mortal friend. She didn’t have friends at all.
or
Athena’s perspective on the plot of EPIC (and some extra closure)
Focusing on her friendship with Odysseus (and later Telemachus) and her character arc as she changes her mindset from ruthlessness to seeing the world with a bit more empathy. As canon compliant as possible while trying to keep it new and interesting!

Summary
"You were a princess. A princess behaves. So, you pressed your lips together until they were thin and pale, nodded stiffly, and let the weight of his words settle over you.
Still, as the servants poured more wine and the conversation turned to other matters, you couldn’t stop your mind from wandering. Somewhere across the sea, a boy you’d never met was being told that you would be his bride. Was he just as disgusted? Just as helpless? Or was he laughing with excitement, eager for the day when he could claim his prize?
The thought made your cheeks burn with something that wasn’t quite anger, wasn’t quite embarrassment. Whatever it was, you didn’t like it."

Or, where you are betrothed to Prince Telemachus of Ithaca.

LEVEL 5: PERSEPHONE by Goats_and_Flowers

Summary
Out of all possible contenders to make an argument for Odysseus against, it had come to quite a shock to Athena when her father had beckoned forward the Queen of The Underworld as one of his chosen opponents for Athena to face.
Athena had supposed it was perfectly reasonable Persephone to have been above the Underworld during this time of the year. However, it had never been quite prevalent in her mind, even before this strange period of time where most of her thoughts had been swept away by her worry for Odysseus’ situation.
Now that she was to face the other goddess, though, she’d felt a faint pang of regret; perhaps for not thinking about the goddess whom she had used to pick flowers with. Her experiences with Odysseus and Telemachus seemed to have softened her in ways she had not allowed herself to be in centuries.
or
An alternate version of God Games where Persephone is added to the roster of gods for Athena to convince in the case of Odysseus being freed from Ogygia by Zeus!
