Summary
Tonight, the noises of the feast were no more than a murmur in the back of his head. Tonight, the pulsing drum of his own heartbeat was louder.
His hand closed around his sword, the metal lit up in the same shade as the skin at the edge of the blade. Not yet drawing blood but close to it. Tawny eyes met his frozen stare. Neither of them moved.
“Already trying to kill your comrades to get home faster?”Or:
After years of fighting the trojans, Odysseus' nights are never quiet.
On one of these restless nights Odysseus gets a special visit that he didn't know he wanted, or needed.

Summary
“It is known,” the serpent whispers. Its scales are moonstones under Diomedes’ fingertips as it brushes against him. “And so she has deigned to add to Pallas Athena’s blessing. Your vision of the gods will increase, manifold, so that the beauty of the next god you see will capture every mortal sense. Thus you will see. Thus you will know.”
Aphrodite curses Diomedes to pursue the next god he sees.

One Born of A Noble Mother by thehouseofblack

Summary
He hated it.
He hated her.
What woman does not stand behind her son?!
Did she not bear him?! Did she not nurse him when he cried at her breast or soothe his childhood fears?! Did she not sit with him beneath Lady Selene’s sky when he was small, teaching him the constellations, naming the winds? Was all of that a lie?! How could she turn her back on him now, when he needed her most?!
Did she not see how they were devouring his home?!
They drank his wine, they slaughtered his herds, they slept in his father’s hall, they spoke of his mother like she was some prize sow fattened for market, something to be taken.
And she sat there, still, calm, refusing.
(or, Telemachus and Penelope's tumultuous relationship before and after Odysseus' return to Ithaca)

Summary
The sea wind struck his face, he thought he saunters downwards, for he could not draw its scent. Ambrosia's sweet promise scorched his lungs to ash—leaving him bereft of breath, never again to savor a fragrance finer. Never again to savor a fragrance more familiar. And never is a long time, he realizes.
Or Diomedes battles gay thoughts and immortality

Summary
He has a deep scar that wraps around the inside of his thigh, trailing down to his knee, and when it rains, it aches. It has ached ever since he set foot in Aulis, even though the skies are clear and there is not a whisper of wind in the air. Perhaps, he thinks idly as he presses fingers deeply into his aching flesh, the presence of the gods functions much the same as the looming threat of rain. A swooping pressure in the air, a sharp ozone tinge in the back of his mouth, the sudden stillness of the world, an ethereal quiet.

Summary
His little brother is born at the break of day.
The whole palace waits in tense, hushed silence, courtiers shifting uncomfortably, slaves keeping their hands busy with absent-minded efficiency.
Only his mother's wailing cries break the silence. Rising in pitch, her voice cracking in exhausted agony.
