    Summary

    Aphrodite had foreseen Paris' triumph – her triumph, in truth. The moment his eyes would fall upon Helen of Sparta, he would understand: this was the reward for his devotion, this was the woman the gods themselves had deemed worthy of a prince so favoured.

    She had not foreseen his rejection.

    Had not expected him to turn away from the prize she had laid before him, to spurn the very woman he had once coveted with all his heart.

    Nor had she anticipated that his desire would stray – not to another queen, most certainly not to Helen’s own cousin.

     

    Penelope of Sparta.

     

    (Or, after coming across a portrait of Penelope during his time in Sparta, Paris of Troy switches his kidnapping victim from Helen to Penelope. This proves far more detrimental than anyone could have imagined - a spark burning so bright that even the Gods on Olympus are caught in its flames.)

    Summary

    There is a reason that seers and oracles are so closely minded by the gods, a reason why they are prized by men and immortals alike.
    One extra drop of prophecy can change the weave of fate more than even gods can comprehend. Fate is a knitted scarf, but prophecy can tear a hole and unravel the fabric rapidly if not caught in time.
    Apollo receives an extra drop of prophecy, this changes everything.

    Summary

    I recently read Lavender_Hyacinths' AU of what if Percy Jackson is Odysseus reincarnated and I really love it! Read it if you haven't already.

    Therefore, I'm making this what if scenario of how it could play out.

    This is based on Lavender_Hyacinths' AU. I'm just making a what if scenario.

     

    *Start of it*

    "Poseidon, you cruel heartless bastard!" Athena yelled.

    "Ah, so you've figured it out," Poseidon said with a chuckle.

    "Yes, I have! How could you. Odysseus' family and friends have been waiting in the Underworld for literal millennia to come back to them! Penelope grieves everyday, Telemachus just wants to know who his father was, and this is what you do! You take his soul and reincarnate him over and over again so he can never reach them!?"

    Summary

    Ody had thrown an object and Polites had clumsily caught it.
    "What is this supposed to be?"

    "Enlargers!" Ody had said, coming closer. He was smiling as if it were his birthday.

    "Enlargers?"

    Seeing his confusion, Odysseus had picked up the object and placed it on his face. It was heavy on his nose, perhaps because of the glass. His friend's face was bright as it always was when he could use an idea of ​​his own.
    "Okay, try looking at that tree. What fruit do you see?"

    ***

    He felt his grip on his weapon weaken as Polites reached out. He was armed too but did not seem to have any intention of drawing his sword.

    "You" Neoptolemus tried to say but the word came out of his mouth like a prayer. "You..."

    "Hey," Polites repeated. "I guess this madness is another one of Ody's plans, huh?"

    ***

    Or: One day, Odysseus created glasses for Polites. Many years later, they are on opposite sides of a battlefield.

    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

    What if the entire Iliad and Odyssey was just one night? What if that night was actually a modern frat party with a bunch of dumb college kids? Well, that's what this is!

    Menelaus is throwing a party to get back together with Helen, Achilles is picking fights about homophobia, and Odysseus just wants to get to his girlfriend Penelope but keeps facing setbacks.

    Inspired by a Tumblr post that theorized about this exact scenario.

    Summary

    Trojan Polites AU where Polites still fought with the Greeks for the first ten years of the war and then betrayed Odysseus and went over to the Trojans. This leads to strange consequences such as the involuntary emotional adoption of several children, a hope for a happy ending for Patroclus and Achilles, Hector dealing with eldest daughter syndrome and an alternate path of fate.

    Inspired by the Iliad but not following the Homeric canon. A good dose of angst, humor (I hope) and happy ending.

    Summary

    In which Odysseus gets blessed (or cursed- which way you look at the situation and who you talk to) by some mysterious entity (which he doesn’t remember) at the end of the Trojan war. This causes several issues, one of which is that when Odysseus dies, the time resets a certain amount. The second issue is that while he may not remember the time loop, how he died or if he died, anyone and everyone else who witnesses it sure does.

    Surely these issues are manageable and won't spiral out of control.

    Surely this won't go wrong in many ways.

    Or, watch as Odysseus’s crew (with some help) try and get him home without going insane.

    Inspired by time loop prompts, angst and finally giving into the voices in my head and thoughts.

    “I’m Helen.”

    OR: Penelope take's Helen's place as the kidnapped woman in Troy, and singlehandedly changes the course of history.
