Summary
“Astyanax. Or… Scamandrius,” the one-eyed monster says, and laughs. “Named after both the city and river you were taken from. Fitting.”
He leans in close. The boy can smell the sourness of blood on his breath.
“Kill them for me, won’t you?” he breathes, voice hypnotizing. “Take from them,” and here his voice becomes deeper, rougher, scarier, and the boy lets out a cry of fear at the look on his face, “like they took from us.”
Or: 11 times someone tells Astyanax his true identity, plus 1 time he decides who he is for himself.

Summary
Without saying anything, Polites wrapped an arm around his friend and buried his face in his shoulder. He could feel his eyes watering. "I'm tired of the war. I'm tired of the dying and the screaming. And I hate, I hate arguing with you."
"We're not arguing," Odysseus said at once, his voice softer than before. His hand was warm, stroking his back. "You're my best friend."
"And you're mine," Polites whispered.
***
Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this"You can't escape this, Polites. If you do, everyone will die."
She sounded sorry. Polites wondered if it was for him, or for the succession of days that would wilt the flowers on her crown."I'll do what I have to," he promised.
***
Or: The story where Polites betrays Odysseus, Patroclus and Achilles have a hope of a happy ending, and a doctor is traumatized.

Muses, ne chantez pas à la place de mon mortel. Sa voix mélodieuse s'élève jusqu'à l'Olympe et touche le cœur des Dieux. Son sourire illumine la route du grand Odysseus et ses yeux d'or perturbent les monstres.
Prince de Troie, prise de guerre, Béni d'Apollon, Guérisseur et Sorcier sont les noms que vous lui donnez. Mais retenez le plus important : Polites.

Ou Polites est un prince de Troie, petit frère d’Hector et oncle d’Astyanax. Odysseus est Odysseus. C’est le dernier acte, Apollon l’oblige à garder Polites et Astyanax en vie. Il les enlève pour les sauver.
Ou Zeus a ignoré le MAIS de la prophétie donc Apollon s’en occupe à sa place.
Ce n'est pas original mais je suis juste là pour m'amuser

Summary
Everyone always looks at the main character of a story. The hero. The one at the front. The one everyone knows. But what about those who hide in the background? What about the characters who don't get much spotlight? What about the characters that everyone forgets?
Follow Perimedes through the story of the Odyssey as he figures out all that he ever needed to be happy during a difficult, heartbreaking, and bittersweet journey.

Summary
if anything in the tags turns y'all off this fic, please read the notes first because they might fix it
---------------
When the kings of Greece come to conscript Odysseus for the Trojan War, Penelope of Ithaca knows one thing: she will not lose her husband to war, and she will not let her son be used to take him. In a desperate attempt to save her family, Penelope offers herself to the war effort in Odysseus's place.
Penelope is whisked away to Troy with her army, and a devastated Odysseus is left to raise his infant son alone. Even when the war ends, their trials do not. Penelope faces gods and monsters while Odysseus struggles to rule Ithaca and protect himself and his son from the malevolent suitors seeking his hand.
Essentially, the plot of EPIC, but Penelope and Odysseus's places are switched, and the Ithaca side of the plot is quite a bit darker.

Summary
Theron, the younger brother of Polites, was informed by Odysseus that he had been slain by Polyphemus on Odysseus' journey back home. Devastated but determined, Theron made the life-threatening, life-changing decision to find this monster and end him once and for all, then find a way to see his brother for the first time in twenty years, without having to be dead. Odysseus insists he should stay at the island of Circe as well to have a place of proper rest and proper care, along with clearer instructions on how to meet his brother once again. Odysseus helps Theron to organize a crew of men, including his friends Kallios, Siromos, and Philocrates, to aid him during his bold, dangerous adventure.

Summary
This is my version of ‘EPIC: The Musical’. It includes cut songs, cut verses, fan songs, fan verses, and mashups of cut and final songs. In parentheses there will be the actions of the characters, which I added after being inspired to do so by ObiWanKenobiObsessed’s story ‘His Journey Home’, which I highly recommend reading. Also, there are very little changes in act 1, but there will be major additions/subtractions in act 2. Now, without further ado, here is ‘Ultimate EPIC’

Kinktober day six: humiliation odypoli
Odysseus leaned back on his bed, leaning against the cot with a sigh, as he stared at Polites. The other man wasn't even talking, Polites apparently just came into his room to.. exist with him.
Of course Polites just wanted to be close, and Ody really didn't mind in general. But gods he just wanted 2 hours to himself, and he just couldn't get it.
His pecs ached, he really needed to deal with that. But what was he meant to do? Go hide in a closet to milk himself?

Summary
The day Lady Nereis came to Ithaca, the sea wore its gentlest face.
Polites watched more than he looked. He watched the way Nereis’s gaze slid to the palace guard and lingered—no, not to the guard. To him. He watched the tilt of her head, the dart of calculation, the faint intrigue when her eyes found the man in plain bronze with the laurel brooch at his shoulder.
She was a hunter too, then.
After, Polites moved through the first days of Nereis’s visit as he moved through everything: with care, with attention, with habit. He made sure he was never alone in a room with her without an open door and servants moving through. He set Eurylochus at the far end of any space where he stood guard. He made certain Nereis’s maid, a sharp-eyed woman called Erato, was always near.
And yet—no matter how he placed the pieces—the board kept changing.
Or, when a delegate from Zakinthos comes to Ithaca, Polites finds himself in the middle of a hunt. Except, he is the prey, and Lady Nereis will not take 'no' for an answer.

Summary
Athena smiled and removed her helmet, placing it and her spear against the wood. "Hello, Telemachus. Do you know who I am?"
He studied her, a little shy at first. After a minute of silence, he took courage. "Athena? The goddess of wisdom?"
"Exactly." She sat right next to him.
***
He had stepped away, and Polites had looked away for a moment. When he looked at him again, Odysseus looked...
"Aren't you tired, Polites? Of this.""Of being rejected?" he asked.
Odysseus nodded.
"Yes. I never know how you'll react, and once upon a time, everyone knew how you reacted to me. But there are no other options."
Eurylochus had told him to leave him behind. Eurylochus was stronger than him: Polites couldn't do it. Polites didn't want to go any further, he didn't want to lose anyone.
***
They've entered where even the gods don't dare. And now they must figure out how to get out.Also: the story in which the past comes to take its toll.
