My Old Sketch From Ocean Deity!AU

How did Titan Odysseus meet any of his friends?

He met his more "ancient" friends by the fact that many titans wanted to meet one another. They were always fascinated when a new one would be born since it would usually bring some interesting changes to their routines. (Especially when their existence alone was usually more than enough to affect their surroundings)

Gods usually introduce themselves to titans they encounter out of respect. Because Ody doesn't really care about the hierarchy he doesn't mind just inviting anyone interested for some wine and gossip.

With people he usually pretends to be one when walking among them. He isn't the biggest fan of people acting as his followers. That way he can see their true selves and so he becomes friends with them more naturally.

He met Diomedes by pretending to be one of the soldiers while the army was travelling. He was curious and he enjoyed how soldiers would sing songs and dance when taking breaks.

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?

What if Poseidon wants to make Ody's experience in the human world miserable because he's in love with Ody and he wants to marry him.

I have a little mermaid au in my head

Odysseus can figure out what most human stuff does or is for. He is smart. But some stuff he is like WTF IS THIS?!

He 100% bribes Eurylochus into letting him look around ship wrecks with the idea that he might finding something pretty to give Ctimene

Polites enables Ody's obsession with the human world

After rescuing Penelope. Odysseus now wants even more to go on land to learn about humans and he thinks she is the prettiest girl he has ever seen.

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.

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

Short "myth" about Titan of Peace Odysseus.

After many days Dionysus finally found a perfect spot for his cult to celebrate. It was a small island full of fruits, flowers and other breathtaking sights.

He let his people and satyrs alone for a day while he would gather the wine needed. What surprised him was that once he was back, his people were asleep. Even when they woke up they would act too calm to enjoy a party.

Dionysus tried again and again to make them active. In the act of desperation he called out Apollo to help him.

The god of music at first laughed at the god of wine, claiming that he's so boring that even his followers mellowed down.

But suddenly the same thing happened to Apollo's followers as well. His musicians would only play lullabies and his dancers only moved slowly in embrace.

Buty gods tried to find the source of it all and it was then where they found Titan Odysseus sleeping in the nearby field of flowers.

Narcoleptic titan probably planned only to nap for a short while but black or loud wildlife on this island created a situation where nothing would wake him up naturally and now everyone was experiencing an effect of his domain.

Both gods tried everything to wake him up but nothing was helping. The river was too shallow, warm and calm to wake up titan and most animals were unwilling to help.

Finally out of desperation Dionysus lured in the loudest goat on the island and Apollo used its horn to turn it into an instrument noisy enough to awaken their friend.

They blew at it with the full power of their lungs. It was heard by a nearby island as well and even Helios would almost trip from his chariot, being startled by the instrument.

But it worked! Odysseus woke up. With slow movement he stretched his limbs. Seeing tired looking Apollo and Dionysus (they are tired since they tried to wake him up for days) he asks if he can help them with anything. The two gods explained the situation which made Odysseus embarrassed. He apologised and promised to leave the island, but Dionysus invited Ody to come back in three days. He would be able to enjoy some fun and music and he would be a huge help in calming down drunk followers of his.

The gods and titan enjoyed their time with mortals and the world was introduced to new instruments. The horn 📯

What do you think Diomedes bonding attempts with Telemachus were like?(If it was either before he gained immortality or after he gained immortality). What do you think Telemachus would be like as a Titan?

Diomedes went through an awkward stage of trying to understand how babies work and then trying to understand how godly babies work hahaha

I imagine Dio taking Telemachus on trips to cities and showing him things that his parents might not understand too well. He is like a big brother when it comes to answering questions.

Once Telemachus was old enough he would absolutely teach him how to spar and use weapons. Also Diomedes is the one who accidentally becomes a bad influence to baby Telemachus (since Diomedes is a little hot headed and didn't learn tact)

Telemachus would not be a titan but a god (even if he would be a child of titan Odysseus). He would be curious of people and the world like his parents. He enjoys pretending to be a human just to join other travellers on their way.

He would be the type of person who would randomly make a backpack journey around the country only to tell you about it once he's back. Also if he sees something he finds cool he WILL drag one of his three parents to show it.

He is also a prankster like his father, but while his dad would mess with people by scaring them a little or making them trip, Telemachus would instead come up with random gossips, make your tent fall a few times before you can build it correctly or he would add something to your food/drink that would make your tongue blue. (It represents innocent accidents that might happen on camping trips)

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)

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.

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

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
