    Summary

    [Reaction fic]

    It had been around a month since Odysseus' return to Ithaca. Things were almost perfect.

    Almost.

    Odysseus still refused to say much about his journey. This was not a problem. Penelope and Telemachus were more than willing to wait until he was ready to talk.

    However, one morning, during what was supposed to be an ordinary breakfast, the little family, along with Athena and Ctimene were transported into a strange room. Here, they were told that they were going to witness events of the past : Odysseus' journey.

    Summary

    But even through all of the endless questions she had of how, why, what now, she still made sure that she flew down to Ithaca every day, either choosing to be invisible or lurk in the trees as an owl and watched as Odysseus played with Eurylochus and Polites, watching as the three boys ran around the woods. Though oftentimes, the former two ran while the latter one merely followed. They acted like the children they were, but not how Athena remembered them to be.

    Perhaps if there was a way, she would have gone to the underworld and demanded her grandfather's council — after all, Kronos was the Titan of time. Perhaps it was he who could explain how she had come to the situation she was in.

    And where she was, was back in time, back in the past.

    -

    ‘What if there is a world where we don't have to live this way?’

    (Athena somehow manages to find herself back in time, and does all she can to prevent Odysseus’ ten year journey.)

    Summary

    Odysseus is, for a full second, determined to sacrifice his men. But Eurylochus’s eyes beg him to reconsider, and there is already so much blood on his hands - and then, in the midst of his desperation and fear, Odysseus has an almost violent epiphany: he has been given no time limit.

    And so he shrugs lightly. “That’s true, actually. I don’t want you all to die either.” He looks pointedly away from the swords pointed in his direction, meeting his second-in-command’s gaze with a beam bright enough that the man recoils. “Thanks for bringing that up, Eurylochus. You’ve given me a lot to think about.”

    Summary

    It wasn’t until the late 1990s that he dared reclaim his own name. Now that “Odysseus of Ithaca” was just a story—a dusty myth studied in universities, printed in millions of copies. He could pretend to be named after the hero, not the hero himself.

    For twelve years, he wandered America. Killing monsters. Avoiding Camp Half-Blood and its orange-shirted trainees. He wouldn’t go near that place. The barrier would recognize him, alert Olympus.

    He had no interest in being found.

    Until a shadow passed overhead. Until a certain god, winged and grinning, descended from the sky and hurled something straight into his face.

    Or in which Odysseus is made immortal and is dragged into the gods' drama once more.
