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.
So, has god odysseus (Poseidon son) met any of Poseidon's other children?
Most likely. He is probably aware of most but he only meets those he sees as not too aggressive. For that reason he isn't interested in meeting younger Cyclops. He met Bellerophon and they were rather chill together.
Ody doesn't really seek them but if he stumbles upon them he will always spend an hour or two talking or playing games.
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 đź‘€ 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
Titan Odysseus you said that he could create sanctuaries that couldn't be easily accessed by others. How often did he use those and what was the reason he used them for?
He uses them mostly to make sure people won't be accidentally affected by his presence. He also makes them to protect people that he witnessed being chased by gods, satyrs etc.
He also used to make those when having a date with a lover so they would not be spotted together by some strangers.
He doesn't use them too often. Just when he feels it's needed.
In addition to that Menelaus broke down crying when seeing Telemachus for how much he looked like Odysseus.
I find the "Telemachus in 'Odysseus' realising his father doesn't know what he looks like as an adult" jokes hilarious, but also, this is what Athena said when she met Telemachus for the first time:
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.
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
i love book 11
I have this interesting idea Siren Odysseus mixed with Warrior Au Penelope. The catch— Penelope is an Amazonian. How do you think that would work?
I don't think that would change too much for Penelope. Amazons are daughters of Ares and trained warriors.
Siren Ody on the other hand sounds interesting. I'm not sure if you mean Siren Ody as a siren encountered in the song "suffering" or Penelope who married a siren.
If you mean the song then nothing really would change. They still need information so Penelope would have to play along to lure sirens in.
If Penelope married a siren that could create an interesting conflict where Penelope respects direct honourable battle while Ody in his nature has avoiding it and using trickery instead.
It could also create a conflict where people expect Penelope to help them hunt down sirens but she can't force herself to do it.
How do any of Telemachus' parents handle the affections that other deities or mythical creatures might give to their son? I mean, considering Titan Ody's experiences with affection (that one goddes that cursed him) before he met Penelope and Diomedes .I'd imagine he'd be a little weary. How does Telemachus handle it himself?
What are their favorite foods? (godly food or otherwise)
Telemachus is rather blunt and unlike his father he doesn't mind openly rejecting someone. Ody also might create shelters for his baby and Diomedes and Penelope don't mind beating up annoying gods.
At the same time I want to say "I'm sorry" and "Aww, thank you" because it means I'm a capable writer hahaha
I'm currently working on a pretty big story based on Illiad and Odyssey but I don't want to share publicly any details until I have enough of it planned out. You can ask privately about it if you want <3
What if Odysseus died instead of Achilles. Wouldn't that be fucked up
Like Patroclus dies, and then he kills Hector, and then his dad dies. He now has three corpses in his tent. And Priam comes to beg for Hector's corpse and tells him to think of his father. But his father is right there. He's dead. Your son killed my father.
