    Summary

    “You are reckless, sentimental at best-that's not a teaching of mine.” Athena sighed. “Maybe if I taught him empathy, this reunion between husband and wife would have happened before the pain of the suitors, before the deaths of the last of his crew, before the drowning of over 500 souls. Maybe I truly led him astray.”

    “You did lead him astray- but that’s in the past. It’s useless to ruminate on it” A voice said behind her. “You lead him astray, Athena- but we can get him back, together.”

    Or
    Polites doesn't hate anyone- not really. He's a lover of peace and of people, of empathy and of healing. But if he had to chose one person, he knew exactly who it would be: Athena. She was the one being in the realms he wouldn't embrace with open arms, but with a cold glare, biting his tongue so hard to keep from committing blasphemy- and for good reason. Even those with hearts of gold have their limits, and Athena crossed it countless times.
    But there is nothing Polites would not do for his beloving Ody, one who suffered so much- one who needed help getting back on track, to realize he is not a monster and never truly was. If he has to help the Goddess he dislikes most, so be it.

    Summary

    When the club smashed down Polites’ head - Odysseus’ world was diminished to ashes.
    How could he go on without his husband, his light? What would prevent him from resorting to ruthlessness and vanquishing any foe he would encounter instead of treating them with kindness like his beloved did?
    He calls to his longtime mentor Athena in desperation, begging her to find a balm that will alleviate his anguish, yet the nature of the gods prevails, and she refuses to intervene in the natural order of events.
    That's when Odysseus - ever cunning and insightful - decides to threaten suicide in front of his patron goddess, seeing no other way to continue his life without the other half of his soul, and hoping to persuade her to submission.
    The flashing-eyed goddess is caught with a wave of empathy foreign to her, and she agrees to help her prized mentee - but divine intervention comes with a price, and this one’s is particularly cruel -
    Forgetfulness.

    Summary

    The boat came to a stop, and Polites realised with a start that his pockets were empty, that he had not had to fish coins from his mouth upon arriving. “I’m afraid I have nothing to pay you with, seeing as I was not buried,” he said, trying to keep his balance as he stood. “Perhaps something could be arranged?”

    The ferryman did not answer. Or ferrywoman, perhaps—it was impossible to tell under all those robes, that gaping, empty hood. They looked blankly at him, as if expecting something. They had understood him earlier, he thought, so they must have understood this, too.

    “I’ll just—” he began, uncertain. He was already dead; he supposed there was not much that could be done to him here. Still, he felt guilty. “I’m sorry, I did not plan to die so soon. I’m sure this isn’t easy work.”

    /////

    Or: Even in death, Polites' spirit is not lost.

    Summary

    Poseidon wants to gouge Telemachus's eyes as revenge for what Odysseus did to his own son. Just as the saying goes; a son for a son, an eye for an eye. But things are always better with audience. Right?

    Summary

    Polites. First soldier under Odysseus’ command to die. First sturdy soul to get cast down into the house of Hades after the war.
    And yet, he was not the first innocent to die because of that man, though the innocence of the first was disputed by the other five souls lost.
    But he would still more than gladly take his belief of forgiveness past his grave.

    Summary

    The boy had lost his smile. He looked at him, his chubby little hands still outstretched. Hector's son. An enemy who won't run away when he tries to kill him.

    He was the same age as Telemachus when Odysseus went to war. The same age, and already an orphan.

    The father of the gods had only one last prophecy for that man who had never been able to be a father.

     

    The blood on your hands is something you won't lose.
    All you can choose is whose.

     

    ***

    Odysseus doesn't kill the child and the prophecy can come true. This changes a lot of things, especially because Polites doesn't care much about prophecies.

    Summary

    Apollo grinned. With a burst of golden light, he descended just close enough to make himself known.

    “Hello there!” he called cheerfully.

    The sailor startled so violently that Apollo had to stifle a laugh.

    ••••••

    Other gods had their favorites. They interfered, they meddled, they bestowed their favor without hesitation.

    Why should Apollo be any different?

    ••••••

    Or, Apollo and Eurylochus meet, which changes things.

    Summary

    His voice is soft, the sun setting in the most beautiful shades of orange and red, as we sit, basking in each other’s presence.
    I hold his hand, absentmindedly tracing invisible patterns onto his skin.
    As night settles and I prepare to make my way back to my cabin, Polites pulls me close for a kiss.
    His lips are so soft as they gently move against mine.
    “I love you.”
    His voice rumbles against my lips.
    “I love you, too.”
    I whisper back, loathe to pull away.

    OR

    Probably the most romantic thing I have ever written and it's a tragedy!
