Summary
The ships crested over the horizon like tired seabirds, their sails ragged from the journey but still proud in the wind. The waters around Ithaca sparkled in welcome, and the cliffs, long-remembered, seemed to lean forward to greet them.
They had done the impossible. After ten years of war and weeks at sea, the men of Ithaca were coming home—whole.
Or, before leaving Troy, Odysseus does the smart thing and packs enough supplies for the return trip to Ithaca. As a result, all 600 men return. And Odysseus returns to his family.
Meanwhile, Polites's return is bittersweet. He has no family awaiting his return. That is until a tiny hand grips his in the middle of the crowded reunion and a pair of familiar eyes blink up at him.
Now, in this time of peace after 10 years at war, Ithaca's King and his brother-in-arms must rediscover what it means to live free and to make a home in safety.

Summary
Penelope was absolutely delighted to have her husband back. But she wished, more than anything, that it hadn’t taken this long.
Far away from Ithaca, the Fates spun the threads of life. Odysseus’ thread had been particularly interesting for them, but now they noticed something odd. The thread was knotted, the present time tied back to the start of his decade-long journey home. It now seemed like from then until he arrived back in Ithaca, there were two versions of Odysseus’ odyssey.
~
Odysseus found his mind wandering back to Penelope and Telemachus, his beloved son and wife. They were what he lived for, tried for, wished for, and fought for. His everything. And he would get back to them again. But first, he had to finish this war. Odysseus had to kill the infant Astyanax again. But this time, there would be no whining, no guilt. Odysseus would do whatever it takes to get home. This time, he was ready.
When Odysseus wakes up back in the Trojan Horse, he is willing to do whatever it takes to get home. Again. But this time, he knows what’s coming.

Summary
Is a small shift in the universe enough to change fate, or is fate immutable? Is the path predestined and must we walk it no matter how it is walked? Or can we carve a new path borne of desire to change it all?
Polites walks away from the Cyclops cave. Eurylochus doesn't. Will it matter in the end? Will things have changed? Or does it even matter that the end is the end, that the fated path will force their way onto it, when maybe, somehow, there's still a little less suffering in the middle? Must a change be grandiose for it to matter, or do the small hours and little moments make the same journey a little easier to bear no matter where they end up? Does the love that's there change anything at all, no matter how small?

Summary
After being left behind by the crew Polites decides that everybody deserves kindness, even the “monsters”.
But, does the monster want help? Who is the real monster here?(I know, shitty summary. If you have a suggestion, please tell me.)
