    Summary

    “Astyanax. Or… Scamandrius,” the one-eyed monster says, and laughs. “Named after both the city and river you were taken from. Fitting.”

    He leans in close. The boy can smell the sourness of blood on his breath.

    “Kill them for me, won’t you?” he breathes, voice hypnotizing. “Take from them,” and here his voice becomes deeper, rougher, scarier, and the boy lets out a cry of fear at the look on his face, “like they took from us.”

     

    Or: 10 times someone tells Astyanax his true identity, plus 1 time he decides who he is for himself.

    Summary

    The ships crested over the horizon like tired seabirds, their sails ragged from the journey but still proud in the wind. The waters around Ithaca sparkled in welcome, and the cliffs, long-remembered, seemed to lean forward to greet them.

    They had done the impossible. After ten years of war and weeks at sea, the men of Ithaca were coming home—whole.

     

    Or, before leaving Troy, Odysseus does the smart thing and packs enough supplies for the return trip to Ithaca. As a result, all 600 men return. And Odysseus returns to his family.

    Meanwhile, Polites's return is bittersweet. He has no family awaiting his return. That is until a tiny hand grips his in the middle of the crowded reunion and a pair of familiar eyes blink up at him.

    Now, in this time of peace after 10 years at war, Ithaca's King and his brother-in-arms must rediscover what it means to live free and to make a home in safety.

    Summary

    Twenty years of war and wandering, and at last, Ithaca is within reach.

    Odysseus has defied gods and monsters alike, endured storms and sorcery, and carved his way home through fate’s cruel hands. But the sea is not yet done with him.

    Poseidon’s wrath lingers, whispering warnings on the tide, and the home Odysseus longed for may not be the one he left behind. Shadows gather on Ithaca’s shores, and as he steps onto familiar soil, he begins to realize some battles do not end when the war is won.

    Some homecomings demand a price.

    Summary

    What if the siren was right and Odysseus did have a daughter at home that he didn't know about, because she was born only a few months after he left for Troy. What would it have been like for her as she grew up in a palace filled with suitors for her mother's hand and she had to pretend to be a boy for her own protection?

    *This story might be a bit underwhelming compared to this summary...more follows the more Ithaca focused parts/songs of EPIC

    Summary

    "Odysseus does not recognise him at first.

    He sees a man, staring at him, tears spilling down his cheeks and Odysseus does not recognise him. Not until he sees the same eyes, the same dark hair as his. Not until the man is crying does he see a baby, clutching onto his shirt."

    Summary

    “I’ve suffered so much… so much to get back to you, and our son, and now-”

    His eyes sting red with tears and his voice chokes with sobs.

    “I’ve done things, Penelope. Terrible things. Monstrous things.”

    “Oh Ody…” Penelope takes Odysseus’ hands in hers, his hands rough and calloused and burned. A smattered canvas to the battles he has endured.

    “Ody, you do not have to tell me. And I do not wish to know.” She clasps her hands, burying his within her own.

    Odysseus struggles to reconcile with his actions after returning home to Ithaca.

    Summary

    20 days after they departed from Troy, Odysseus and his men arrive in Ithaca. But just because they’ve made it home, it doesn’t mean they’re out of danger. After 10 years of war, Odysseus thinks running his kingdom should be easy. Or it would be, if he wasn’t harbouring the conspicuously alive son of Hector, trying to be a father to Telemachus, and assuring all of Penelope’s suitors that she is very much spoken for.

    Meanwhile, Eurylochus is decommissioning the army, Polites is a professional bestie, and the Gods don’t quite know what to do about *that* prophecy.

    On top of it all, a far more urgent danger arrives in Ithaca in the form of Neoptolemus, chasing rumours and the echoes of war.
