If you were your own Titan Odysseus lore, how would you go about it?
I mostly had one main idea. Where Odysseus would be a titan of peace (in the sense of calmness)
Odysseus would be a gentle titan who enjoys pretending to be mortal just to listen to stories shared by travelers. (That's how he gained most of his wisdom)
He enjoys some tricks and practical jokes but never something too cruel.
He and Hypnos would be friends and they would often be associated with one another for obvious reasons.
He's seen as a patron of caretakers and one of his symbols is chamomile.
His main story would come from how a god fell in love with him but he kept avoiding the advances with his words. Because of it the god decided to steal Eros' arrow and poured the gold from it into Ody's nectar. Once the titan drank it his tongue turned gold and he was forced to answer all advances with words of love.
To avoid gods/nymphs/people forcing upon him romances Odysseus started wearing rags and wrapping himself in bandages, looking like a sickly beggar so nobody would be interested in him.
He fell in love with Penelope who despite him looking displeasing she would always visit him. They would share stories while she was weaving baskets and he was carving in the wood.
Even then the Spartan princess would show her affection by gifting him instruments or singing love songs allowing the titan to listen to confessions without the need to say anything in exchange.
Helios decided to help the pair by whispering to the princess Ody's secret. His curse and his fears related to it. How no matter how much he loves someone he might not be able to ever be honest with them.
And so Penelope did something unexpected. She asked the titan to remove her tongue. Odysseus was terrified when he found out but then he understood. She did it so her words would never accidentally force Ody to say or do something that he didn't mean.
Once fed ambrosia, Penelope became the goddess of silence. Two beings with domains seen almost as inseparable.
Sometimes a traveler might hear in the middle of the night a soft humming of a woman and a melodic voice of man singing softly, almost whispering sweet words of love he has towards his wife.
I bet pjo Ody wears t-shirts with something like "I love my wife" written on it. He likes to remind all the teens that are crushing on him, about the fact that he's happily married with a kid.
He would also be shockingly good at barbeque (it has nothing to do with his domain, it's just him having all the dad skills hahaha)
How many admirers does Odysseus have, and in the pjo universe, does that number increase or decrease?
For that eldritch epic universe, any headcanons about it? One of my own personal headcanons that due to the deities being so out of touch with mortals except for Hermes, they're oblivious to them being afraid of them which plays a big role due to how Poseidon flirts with a Odysseus.
He has a lot. He is a pretty boy. He and Apollo are shaking hands being certified pretty boys. But I could also see Odysseus being a DILF specifically.
For the eldritch au: 100% they're very out of touch with mortals and their fears. It takes a while for Odysseus to warm up to Poseidon because he thinks he is gonna eat him at first. And Poseidon is offering him some pretty huge courting gifts.
Like he gives Odysseus a horse
He also gives him a dog (argos my beloved)
Also making sure that Ithaca flourishes (their boats always return) they always find fish
Odysseus's parents are in some DEEP denial about what's happening
Athena and Hermes are the only two who have like an understanding but even then its still kind of limited
I'd love to know what you think of Anticlea and Ctimene!!!
Menelaus would probably be a good husband who would care for her and give her tons of gifts but at the same time he would absolutely be overprotective!!!
Imagine him complaining that a basic greek armour is too short and is exposing her too much hahaha
Ody probably has her rebellious moments where she pretends to go to meet with some princesses only to cause chaos in disguise hahaha
And I bet Dio would be stubborn as hell. He would look for any way to get closer to Ody but ever since he welcomed her by kissing her hand, Menelaus was ready to draw some blood. Meanwhile Sthenelus and Euryalus would do their best to stop their brother from potentially starting a war over the omega hahaha
Ody would have Menelaus wrapped around her little finger with only exceptions being situations that could possibly put Ody in danger.
What would happen if Agamemnon found out that Odysseus is female Omega during the courting of Helen?
Would he want to blackmail her/court her/ or maybe demand that she marries Menelaus since he wants to ensure a throne for his brother (not being sure if Helen would pick any of them)
There are a few different scenarios that could happen. But he wouldn't attack her. That just wouldn't happen. Because a. Thats a bad look for him to attack an omega (especially an omega woman) who's the guest of his host and b. He had braincells prior to the war so he wasn't a complete fool
1. He gets her to reveal herself to everyone else and now she is getting hounded by everyone else along with Helen. (He would make a fool of her in front of everyone when he outs her too)
2. He attempts to blackmail her into getting Helen to pick him and would demand she marry his brother so he has a throne. And this Would also include getting her to reveal herself and humiliating her. The hardest part is convincing his brother to go along with it because Menelaus isn't the type to marry someone doing it out of distress. (But he would also be the safest option for Ody to marry)
3. He courts her himself. Because hey Ithaca would be a nice edition to his kingdom and forces her to marry him. This is the worst case scenario but also least likely to happen. He has seen Odysseus fight. And I don't think he would want to go through the pain of trying to "tame" her.
4. He doesn't tell anyone and blackmails her without a demand she marry his brother but would blackmail her into marrying one of the other suitors to put her back in her place. And most likely that suitor is the one who reveals she's a woman.
I thought of Dio who would show up later (after Ody and Menelaus would be married for at least a few years)
It could be extra funny if it happened after Diomedes was crowned.
Imagine Menelaus arriving in Argos with his wife only to see this young alpha being instantly smitten with his omega.
Odysseus would be oblivious to Dio's advances meanwhile Menelaus would wrap himself around Ody and grow any time Dio is (for his liking) too close to the queen of Ithaca.
Also I would not be shocked if Menelaus was a type of person who respected Ody as a strategist and a wise queen (mostly thanks to Athena) but at the same time he would panic seeing her having a problem with reaching for something from a high shelf or at the chance of her possibly being left alone with an alpha that isn't her family hahaha

shipping telemachus with any of the generals from the trojan war is hilarious because it immediately becomes the scene from 22 jump street with the captain's daughter. you cannot tell me that if somehow achilles banged telemachus that diomedes wouldn't be absolutely dying with laughter running around like "SAY HELLO TO THE STRONGEST OF THE GREEKS BECAUSE ACHILLES IS FUCKED."
it would be even worse if the roles were reversed because you just know that Odysseus would have given diomedes advice. The others would raise themselves from the dead to give diomedes shit.
Although deities are technically nothing like humans, do you think hypothetically they can get something like, for example, their own version of an allergy? For instance, a curse that prevents them from touching certain metals or else it burns them. If so, what would Titan Odysseus be? If he had to think of one?
Also, assuming that Odysseus or one of the other female goddesses taught Penelope how to use her abilities, what was the hardest ability for her to learn? Same with Diomedes?
If there was some godly allergy I think that could be something like ashes from ceremonial fires. That's because godly senses are pretty fragile for it to know if new sacrifices were made or if a proper funeral was organised etc. So it is easy to imagine that ashes from those ceremonies would be a little too intense for the fragile nose. (Almost like walking through perfume samples hahaha)
And with the abilities?... For Penelope it was probably the hardest to learn how to transform/mutilate her surroundings and other people/creatures. She is a person who prefers adapting HERSELF to changes instead of changing others. Also Ody isn't the biggest fan of it as well so it wasn't for him the easiest lesson for him to give.
And for Diomedes it was absolutely shape shifting. He is usually too straightforward and not too good of a liar and because of it he had a hard time doing a convincing transformation and to keep it for long enough to fool anyone.
Titan or god Odysseus. What's your take on dioodypen? Like how would it go?
With Penelope it would probably be the same as I described before.
Dio would stumble upon them by accident. He would travel only to hear the soft sound of music.
At first he was just visiting them regularly but then he admitted that he started falling for them
They would start dating and Dio would most likely accept ambrosia.
Also when he tried to tell others nobody believed him that he dates a titan and goddess
Why is God Odysseus so shy around people?
He is an over-thinker hahaha
Ikr also a blend of "people are so delicate! I need to be careful!" and "I don't want to be too pushy like other gods so how am I gonna do it?"
Winged Ody anybody?
Let me present to you "Sing, O Muse, of Agony"
A retelling of the Illiad and Odyssey with two key differences being that Odysseus is a woman in this story and that she is/was in a relationship with Hector of Troy.
You'll have to see for yourself how things will turn out for them.

Ody is told that he is needed somewhere only to enter the palace where the princess is like:
How Aphrodite usually pranks/pranked Ody?
Trying to set him up on dates/situations where a romantic or sexual encounter might occur
She is SO invested in his love life like to an unreasonable level of OBSESSION
