Going Back To That One Au Where Penelope Is Scylla, How Exactly Did Ody's Crew End Up Meeting Penelope?

So that question's got me thinking of some horrifying possibilities. Like, the severance dual soul theory. You know the movie Severance, right? Where you separate into a clone, where a clone keeps memories of your work half, and the you that's outside all day keeps memories of just being you, and that clone just makes money and stuff for you. Yeah, that. Is that what's happening to a demigod soul, when the divine half goes up to enjoy Olympus, and the mortal soul just goes to either be tortured in Tartarus, or just living their lives, just wandering forever, whatever might be the case? And what's even more horrifying? Do they know? Like, are their minds still connected? Or does the mortal half just, like, cease to exist? If so, does some memories go along with it? Or does the memories of the mortal half and the divine half just fuse together?

Once again I don't think that's the idea behind the "mortal half" that demigods have. It's more like genes.

Greek mythology has a myth about having souls split in half but it is a story explaining soulmates. What it was was that people used to look differently. They looked like a mix of two people at once, but one day they got split in half. Now people are always searching for the other half.

It might also answer your question. In this case a split soul is simply like a different person who enjoys their own life.

When demigods die they are usually just dead (as a proof we have Achilles in the Odyssey)

Sthenelus deserves a better paycheck hahaha 🤣

I don't like te element about his wife for many reasons (main one being incest) because of it I usually don't include her in my stories or au's.

I'm not sure tbh...I'm aware he in some stores becomes one but I never hear what exactly he becomes.

I like the idea of him being a god of something war/battle related since it would fit him well and add interesting contrast between him and Odysseus and Penelope.

Maybe...🤔

Maybe he would be a god of vengeance, wrath, or conquest.

I'm not sure yet. I might come up with something later. We will see 🙈

Do you think Titan Odysseus looks any different from God Odysseus? Are there personalities any different?

How exactly do Diomedes, Penelope, and Odysseus go about discipline/raising Telemachus ?

Any fun facts about them as deities (Telemachus and Penelope)?

What are the reactions of those from the kingdom of Argos (if he somehow managed to convince them of dating a Titan and a goddess)?

Okay so I have a headcanon about titans that they are much more of an embodiment of the domain they represent. It basically goes

Chaos > ancient gods (Gaya, Nyx, Tartarus) > Titans > Gods embodying elements (Limos) > "Olympian gods" > minor gods > nymphs/spirits > demigods

The further it goes the more human they are. For example Limos as goddess of hunger embodied her element to the point where even Demeter couldn't get close to her, or how Helios is sometimes described as the sun itself which never happened to Apollo.

Odysseus as a titan of peace would cause his surroundings to become calm. He sometimes visits cities that were victims of a panic to calm them down. He also helps by visiting places that are meant to be sanctuaries like temples. If he would stay too long he could risk people acting like lotus eaters and not being willing to work so he makes sure to not stay in one place for more than a month.

Titan Ody looks more like a harpy than a human (he has harpy legs and his body is mostly covered in feathers with exception being his chest, neck, arms and face) he has a pair of wings on his back and on his head.

God Odysseus looks mostly like a man in his twenties with wings on his lower back and head.

Raising Telemachus is different depending if it's god Odysseus or titan one. If he's a god, he, Penelope and Dio would stay in Argos at first and make sure if Telemachus is a god or not (since gods do not always give birth to other gods). Telemachus would be raised among people of Argos until he develops his domain.

If Odysseus is a titan they would raise Telemachus in the fields that are seen as Ody's main domain. Diomedes would make sure to take Telemachus regularly to some cities to make sure that he would know more about people. (Since God Ody is easily startled by people and titan one can't stay with them too long without affecting them)

In both Odysseus would share stories with his baby and show him many places while Penelope would introduce Telemachus to many books, arts and crafts.

Ody is more relaxed about raising Telemachus. He is a little bit overprotective but at the same time he wants his baby to enjoy what the world has to offer. Penelope is a kind but stern parent. She is the one who established things like bedtime or will give him timeout for misbehaving. Diomedes is at first confused as hell because he knows nothing about raising kids but he gets better with time. He also was only recently granted godhood or he is about to so he is still figuring out all the god stuff while trying to raise a baby that can easily lift him.

With the people of Argos it's a funny story.

At first they obviously didn't believe him when he said he's a lover of a titan. But once Sthenelus realised that Dio isn't lying he's PANICKING! Everyone knows that Odysseus has been married for over a century. They are scared that his wife will punish Dio and the entire Argos for this situation. They want to build a temple for Penelope to beg her for forgiveness only to turn out that Penelope doesn't mind sharing her husband (especially since the first thing Ody did was to ask for his wife's permission to have a date with a pretty human.) Dio decides to stay human until he finds someone to replace him on the throne and Sthenelus is always sweating bullets when he feels the presence of the titan and the goddess.

Hi, I'm working on a Fem Odysseus/Hector story that would cover the entire length of Illiad and Odyssey (+ additional prequel at the beginning)

Soon I'll be posting the first chapter. Feel free to ask about anything and I'll answer as long as it won't be too big a spoiler to the story.

I can imagine Zeus giving cloud doggy to baby Ody because he wanted to prove to other gods that he's the best grandpa hahaha

Argos is best, Boi. Do you think Odysseus would still have him in this universe, or if he did, how did that come to be, and what's his role?

I don't know which one you are talking about???

In the eldritch au he has Argos as a companion and was a gift from Poseidon. (Odysseus is LONELY in this au. because of like reasons. *hids*)

in the god au. He has Argos who is a cloud doggie (gift from Zeus)

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

Ody as a titan would be a titan of peace (as calmness) and if he was a god he would most likely be a god of safety (as son of Poseidon he would probably be more connected to sailing)

Am I the only one who wants a prequel saga more than a cut song saga? Like it would have a couple cut songs but it's mostly about how Penelope and Odysseus' relationship developed. A great ending could be a song about their wedding.

Is this just an excuse to get "I Need Her To Be Mine" to be canon. Yes. Is it also an excuse to get adorable young Odypen. Also yes.

Idk, does anyone agree?

Oh my god wait. What if the blessings of the gods manifested physically? Like if a god takes an interest in you, EVERYONE is going to see it, for better or worse. And if you lose their favour? Everyone can see that, too

Jason with a peacock tail and feather-crest, both of which go faded and limp when he turns on Medea, so that they drag on the floor and get in the way

Pollux with eagle wings instead of arms, so Castor acts as his hands and that’s why they’re inseparable. When Castor dies and Pollux splits his immortality with him, they each get one arm and one wing, so one can’t fly without the other

Odysseus with a forked tongue and fangs—a subtle feature that he can hide when he needs to. When Athena feels like being helpful (like when she disguises him as a beggar) she’ll cast an illusion over it, but Penelope immediately recognises him by his lisp

When Athena gives Diomedes the blessing of seeing through the gods’ disguises, he also gets owl eyes and the ability to turn his head 180 degrees. This helps when Odysseus tries to stab him in the back on the Palladium heist

HERACLES WITH BULL HORNS. I have nothing to add I just think that sounds sick as hell

Helen grows beautiful golden feathers instead of hair. Nothing useful, just an obvious sign of her heritage that adds to her appeal to the suitors: whoever wins her hand gets to walk around with a physical symbol of Zeus’s favour

Atalanta with antlers that snap when she gets married, leaving jagged shards behind that won’t go blunt and can’t be sharpened down. She can have her husband, but he can’t touch her head without risking badly cutting himself. This can either be one final blessing or a curse depending on how consensual you interpret the marriage

Hector has pristine white raven wings, making him even more terrifying to the Achaeans, flying into battle like divine intervention, and a symbol of hope for the Trojans. Achilles plucks the feathers off his corpse, but they won’t stop growing back. Still, Achilles has a cloak made from them and wears it into battle, turning Troy’s symbol against them

Paris gets dove wings, but he tells everyone they’re too small to fly with because he’s a coward and doesn’t want to have the same responsibilities as Hector. Then he flies away from the duel with Menelaus in front of the entire army, and that’s when Troy finally loses what’s left of their respect for him

Or maybe Ares is the one who wants to pair them up!?

He would one day run to Penelope in the middle of her training and shout in excitement "You won't believe this, but I think I found a perfect boyfriend for you!"

And Ares would try to describe Ody in the best way possible while Penelope doesn't like the idea of being with god because on her head, the god would probably want s*x and nothing more.

I have an idea for an au, basically the entire plot of God Odysseus, but instead of Penelope, it is now the daughter of Ares because you know Spartan heritage. How would that work out compared to Odysseus?

I think the only change is Ares would be protective of his daughter. But he also helped train and raise Ody so he knows he would be a good match for Penelope.

Kind of a Funny idea God Odysseus decides to save Helen but shape shifts to disguise himself as her so neither Paris or Aphrodite suspects anything. How do you think that would go?

Ody would either troll them seeing how long it takes for them to get tired of "Helen", or he would be preparing some special revenge on Aphrodite for trying to break a lovely marriage.
