I Bet Pjo Ody Wears T-shirts With Something Like "I Love My Wife" Written On It. He Likes To Remind All

Working on the second chapter of "Sing, O Muse, of Agony". New characters are introduced adding to building drama 🤭🫣

I agree that Athena would fight Apollo. The only problem was when the heats started because now Ody didn't yearn for any alpha but for one specific.

Because of it for a year during heats Apollo was allowed to join Odysseus for those few days to ease the situation.

Apollo of course went over the top. He would bring the best foods, play music and take Ody to some beautiful private spots (anything to make Ody fall for him).

Ody was asked to join the courting of Helen so he would find another Alpha for himself so he would not be dependent on the sun god.

Also because of all the times Apollo tried to slip in nectar and ambrosia, now Ody has a huge distrust of anyone who wants to feed him.

Once he marries Penelope she helps him regain some trust and helps him feel comfortable again with telling what he wants (since he used to be too scared to tell Apollo "no")

How about Omega Odysseus who was secretly courted by Apollo (not eldritch one). When he was a teen (before Penelope) he used to train archery in the favourite spot in the forest. There one day Ody witnessed a beautiful hunter similar age as him who would ask to join in and even help Odysseus improve his techniques.

Athena sensed that something was wrong and she flew to her champion but it was too late. She witnessed a magically created field of flowers whose smell made the young omega overwhelmed and in the middle of it was Apollo who took the form of the alpha so she could bite the omega he fancied.

A year later during the courting of Helen, Odysseus kept his neck hidden. He didn't do it to be more presentable to Helen or Penelope but because he still felt uncomfortable when trying to explain how he got it.

Interesting 👀 go on

My take on this is that Athena is gonna fist fight her brother

And that Apollo 100% going to try to make Odysseus immortal after claiming him

Helloooo! I came again to comment on another passage

I might be obsessed…

I just imagined Ody singing that part of The Challenge

"Just know, I'll be here, buying you time!"

Unfortunately, weaving an infinite shroud doesn't seem to be helping much now

*cries*

Hello 👋

It's good to see you again 🫶

Well...you are right about the weaving...but I have some other plans to recreate the vibe🤫🫣🤭

What if Penelope was Scylla? How would that go?

In normal epic?

Still Ody loves her the same.

I imagine Ithaca being an island that is way further from the mainland. There Penelope would have a special palace built for her and her family built by Ody. She probably attacks anyone who would be seen as a threat to her or her family.

Also everyone would be shocked, scared and impressed with the fact that Ody married and had a child with a gigantic monster.

There would be a joke where Ody describes Penelope in the sweetest ways and because of it nobody is ever ready to face her true form.

There is a really good fic with a similar promise on ao3 called "Appetite". I really recommend it to you.

Probably the main reason why he stopped for some time was because he wanted his baby to be close to him and it wasn't the best way to seduce people hahaha

Hermes: Hi beautiful, looking for some fun?

Baby Ody: Dad? Are you "Zeusing" again?

Hermes:...How about we go for some nice (Pg12) Ice cream instead?

Does Hermes change after the entire Ody situation or does he still sleep regularly with mortals?

He stops for like a few years but then 100% starts up again

What did Titan Odysseus, Penelope, and Diomedes do as a couple? Considering Ody's abilities made it hard for them to be around him for a short period of time before they became deities, how did that work?

When Penelope and Diomedes were mortals they would have a very active first day with Ody and then calm second. Ody would then leave for a few hours and the cycle could repeat.

For example with Penelope they would play around trees, dance etc in the first day and in the second they would have a peaceful day during which Penelope would weave and Ody would carve in wood. Or they would both play instruments together.

With Diomedes they used to spar and play a lot of "tavern" games and later do something like fishing.

Also it's not like they could stay for too long with him before they got married and became gods. Penelope was a princess and she was expected to be home regularly and Diomedes met Odysseus when he was a soldier and a king. Ody usually had to be the one to remind them about their duties.

How far do you think one can go down the rabbit hole of what ifs? Are there any two outlandish to consider in the world of Epic the musical?

It all depends on imagination and some boundaries. For example if the "what if" has literally NOTHING to do with characters and story you are basically writing something completely different.

Some of my favourite fics are a simple "what if" that is followed by a long chain of consequences. They are a lot of fun and it's nice to see authors considering a domino effect this big. (My Illiad fanfic started as a simple question that snowballed into something bigger)

For the same reason I'm not the biggest fan of stories that are just a copy and paste of the lyrics of Epic songs.

Hi...I'm that person who wrote you the long comment about Ody dying instead of Achilles...

I love this idea of yours!!!

Oh god the tragedy!!! Priam probably saw his son as someone good who did everything that was needed for his people and now when he wants to retrieve his son's body he is forced to face the "monster" who killed his son only to discover it's a grieving child.

And referencing in your story how Agamemnon seemed to question Ody being Achilles' father...What if Achilles during the war tried to avoid being called all the baby names by his dad because he wanted to be taken seriously by all the older kings and generals?

Achilles would on purpose keep his tent further from his father's, go to other camps and where he would spend time with Patroclus, go hunting with literally anyone but his dad and suddenly....his dad is gone.

He guards his father's body preventing it from being buried (Athena would keep Ody's body intact like gods did with Hector's). He does this because he can't accept his dad being gone. He placed Ody's body in the tent of the Ithacan king as if he was sleeping and still had a chance to wake up.

And then Priam shows up. The Trojan king wanted to believe that Achilles was a monster but he sees a scared child who wishes to be hugged by his dad.

They make an agreement in the end.

And finally when people are able to convince Achilles to let Odysseus go, to have a proper burial so he can find happiness in Elysium he goes to his father's tent and starts looking through his thighs and he breaks down.

There were carved wooden toys. Almost the same ones he had in his childhood. Odysseus was probably making them in free time for Telemachus hoping to give them to him some day. Achilles chuckled with teary eyes remembering when as a kid he begged his parents that if he's going to have little siblings, nobody is going to take his toys.

He looked further and in between wooden toys were carved combs, tools and figures of warriors...Odysseus was making gifts for BOTH of his sons. Achilles had to stop himself from crying.

To distract himself he looked at papers and maps on the desk. There he witnessed plans to invade Troy. An idea of a trap with hidden soldiers inside, then he gazed at the wooden toys...he had a plan how to end this war.

When Helen was with them, Achilles refused to see her. He knew he wouldn't blame her for his father's death, and seeing (/hearing) the way she cried hearing about Odysseus' passing, he knew she already blamed herself more than enough.

But what hurt Achilles the most was realising how YOUNG his father was. He was a teen dad. They had around ten year gap in age. Achilles was in his twenties, people around him would call him a kid and yet now he's a similar age his father went to war. This man had an entire future before him and it was taken in one fight.

Now he truly understands why his father always hated war.

Because in war there are no winners...just survivors.

What if Odysseus died instead of Achilles. Wouldn't that be fucked up

Like Patroclus dies, and then he kills Hector, and then his dad dies. He now has three corpses in his tent. And Priam comes to beg for Hector's corpse and tells him to think of his father. But his father is right there. He's dead. Your son killed my father.

At the same time I want to say "I'm sorry" and "Aww, thank you" because it means I'm a capable writer hahaha

I'm currently working on a pretty big story based on Illiad and Odyssey but I don't want to share publicly any details until I have enough of it planned out. You can ask privately about it if you want <3

Apollo would be banned by Athena from getting close to Odysseus once he has a different mate than a sun god.

Apollo while being with Ody he didn't understand that he was a bad guy in this scenario. He has a rather shallow understanding of mortals so in his eyes he was a perfect partner and mate to Ody.

Telemachus isn't honestly as weird as some other greek characters. Especially since it wouldn't be common knowledge what happened between Apollo and Odysseus.

How about Omega Odysseus who was secretly courted by Apollo (not eldritch one). When he was a teen (before Penelope) he used to train archery in the favourite spot in the forest. There one day Ody witnessed a beautiful hunter similar age as him who would ask to join in and even help Odysseus improve his techniques.
