How I Imagine Poseidon (who I Believe Can Feel When People Invoke Not Only His Name But The Ocean As

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.

In the shadows of war and duty, quiet bonds are hidden from prying eyes—some tender, some painful, and some worth breaking the rules for. This is the story of a forbidden love between Prince Hector of Troy and Queen Odysseus of Ithaca, how it all started and what the war will force them to do.

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

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.

Do you have any myths about Diomedes after he gets turned into a god?

What was Titan Odysseus's childhood like?

1. not yet

2. A childhood of a titan is a vague timeframe. Odysseus remembers the time where people weren't created yet. He remembers the time without worship and different meanings of pleasure. There was a time when he just like the other ancient generation didn't possess sentimentality over acts of love making.

It used to be something as simple as drinking water from the river when you are thirsty and eating fruits when you are hungry. Odysseus still remembers the names of titans, nymphs and satyrs that used to share with him pleasure. He isn't sure if he sires any children from that time since children made between titans or ancient gods like Nyx or Gaya were growing up so fast they barely needed parents and they quickly understood the meaning of domains that they embodied. After all he barely remembers Gaya or Eros (in Hesiod's Theogony Eros as spiritual embodiment of love was made by Khaos instead of being son of Aphrodite) ever nurturing him or teaching him about his domain. He WAS the peace. He was what calmed those in distress and what allowed others to enjoy a quiet existence of nature.

But then the people arrived. Those creatures made out of clay were fascinated to the titan who despite living for centuries was maybe in his teen years.

They lived for such a short time that they saw importance in the smallest of things. Odysseus loved seeing how people would put a lot of care in creating tasty food, building homes or nurturing their youth.

He then also witnessed the true meaning of marriage and family. People who lived for such a short time would find another half to share life with. They would do everything together and even refused to share the nights with anyone else just to prove their devotion.

While Odysseus never found interest in the idea of being worshipped by the people, ha absolutely fell in love with the marriages. Now he couldn't imagine having an affair with anyone that wasn't this special for him. And so he waited until he found himself someone so special he would like to share his life with.

What if god Odysseus was the son of Poseidon? How much would that would change in Ody's life?

A LOT would change. Poseidon would be a helicopter parent to his son. Ody as a god of safety would focus on assisting sailors and shipwrecked people, but Poseidon would punish any man who tries to take advantage of his innocent son.

Ody would live on a hard to reach island and any nymph/god/siren/etc that would potentially inhabit it would have to be approved by Poseidon.

The reason why is because Ody is due to living near the sea he always helped people lost there but sadly some sailors out of desperation would want to do unspeakable to the beautiful young looking man with wings.

Odysseus would have wings similar to a seagull or albatross. He is also more sheltered so he relies on stories shared by people to know more about the world.

It is almost like a currency to him. You can ask him a favour and he will accept if you in exchange tell his an interesting story that he didn't hear before.

Odysseus would meet Penelope when she was sailing with her family and she accidentally fell overboard during a storm. He helped her and took her to his island because she had no idea how to explain the Ody location of Sparta. So they would spend a few days together and at night Ody was flying and trying to locate her home.

Once he did it he took her to safety. They fell in love and Ody promised to visit her but also he warned her to not try to seek him or Poseidon might punish her.

He was visiting her once a week but her cousins started to suggest that he just has another lover on his island. She didn't believe them but once her father wanted to marry her off she decided to risk everything and swim to Odysseus.

Poseidon was about to strike her with his trident but Ody shielded her with his wings. Penelope seeing it started to worry and tried to help Ody despite being in danger. Poseidon was impressed and allowed her to be with his son but she wasn't allowed to invite her family over. (There would be an additional "myth" about that). She became a goddess once she reached her twenties so she would be in a similar "age" as Odysseus.

There would be a story where Jason and Argonauts accidentally landed on Ody's island where the young god helped them and told them that they can take any food but they can't steal any treasures or stay for longer than two nights. They at first agreed but one of them got fascinated by pearl jewelry and stole a necklace. Also Jason forgot that they were there already for a day when Ody explained the rules and because of it they stayed for a day too long. Because of it they stumbled upon angry Poseidon who assumed that they wanted to hurt his son. They promised that they didn't touch him but Poseidon told them that he will only believe them if the thief who stole the necklace reveals himself and experiences a proper punishment. At first they wanted to blame Heracles since he would most likely survive it but then even started claiming to be the thief. Impressed Poseidon allowed them to go but as a punishment he moved their boat so their journey would take longer than needed.

i love book 11

So, how exactly did God Odysseus (Poseidon's kid) come to be?

Well...it was originally inspired by your ask hahaha

But in the myth it would be that Laertes and the Argonauts were in a big danger while sailing and they promised to give Poseidon anything to save them. Poseidon agrees and the same night he slept with Anticlea.

For the first few years Odysseus was raised among his human family but his obvious godly heritage attracted plenty of dangerous people who wouldn't mind having a demigod as a partner.

Poseidon seeing his son being in danger (situation similar to Theseus and Helen) decides to take him and raise him as a god. He gives Ody ambrosia and offers him a beautiful island where he would not meet any harm.( Odysseus still visits his family and their descendants regularly.)

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.

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
