Winged Ody Anybody?

What do you think god marriages are like?

Depends on the couple.

Hades and Persephone have a classic one. Zeus and Hera were supposed to also have a marriage like that but we know how it ended. Most gods have open marriages.

How much do you think god or Titan Odysseus affects greek mythology if at all?

How does Telemachus find his domains?

What abilities do you think Diomedes would inherit upon becoming a deity?

Titan Odysseus would not affect Greek mythology too much. He is one of those gods/titans that you fear about but they are rarely active in stories of other people. (Like the greek god of riches for example.)

He would have a few stories involving gods like Apollo or Ares that were unable to do their job because Ody was too close to them or a story or two about a mortal/nymph who tried to seduce Ody only to be cursed by Penelope.

Telemachus finds his domain during his travels with his parents. He finds traveling people who had a problem with setting up their camp. Telemachus helped them by helping them find a shelter and creating a campfire that would survive a night. Travellers gave Telemachus a flute (which would become his symbol) and some food as thanks and they spent the rest of the night exchanging stories and playing music together. Telemachus was able to calm down stressed travellers and aided them, that way he discovered his domain.

I'm still not sure what type of god Dio would become so I don't know.

My old sketch from Ocean Deity!AU

What Ocean Deities AU is? Well!! Here are links to posts explaining what this is:

Explanation of the concept, Odysseus, Penelope & Telemachus, Attempts at the plot, Development arc

For the original God Odysseus what's your version of his backstory?

I have few ideas but I'm not sure which one would be treated as the main one for the story until I have the entire plot and timeline planned.

1) Similar to the one with Poseidon where Laertes while sailing with Argonauts makes a deal that ends up with Anticlea's pregnancy.

2) God takes interest in young Odysseus' and gives him ambrosia so they could be together but Ody never wanted it.

3) Hermes has baby Ody and to make sure he isn't noticed too early by Zeus he has him raised by Laertes and Anticlea

There are a few more but those are the most planned ones.

On the other hand imagine all the comedy that would come from Achilles suddenly learning how handsome his dad is (it's the first time he sees so many people catcall his papa) and he becomes extremely protective of him.🤣

He would make a scene if he thinks his dad's tunic is too short or he would glare at Diomedes and ask him with crossed arms "What are your intentions towards my father".

He treats his dad as an innocent maiden forgetting that this man, HIS FATHER has WAY more experience than him hahaha

-Not an angst post-

If Odysseus and Diomedes are a ~thing~ in this AU I don't know who would be weirder about it: Odysseus who has a guilt complex about Dio being younger than his son, or Achilles who has to deal with having a DILF as a father

Do you think Titan Odysseus looks any different from God Odysseus? Are there personalities any different?

How exactly do Diomedes, Penelope, and Odysseus go about discipline/raising Telemachus ?

Any fun facts about them as deities (Telemachus and Penelope)?

What are the reactions of those from the kingdom of Argos (if he somehow managed to convince them of dating a Titan and a goddess)?

Okay so I have a headcanon about titans that they are much more of an embodiment of the domain they represent. It basically goes

Chaos > ancient gods (Gaya, Nyx, Tartarus) > Titans > Gods embodying elements (Limos) > "Olympian gods" > minor gods > nymphs/spirits > demigods

The further it goes the more human they are. For example Limos as goddess of hunger embodied her element to the point where even Demeter couldn't get close to her, or how Helios is sometimes described as the sun itself which never happened to Apollo.

Odysseus as a titan of peace would cause his surroundings to become calm. He sometimes visits cities that were victims of a panic to calm them down. He also helps by visiting places that are meant to be sanctuaries like temples. If he would stay too long he could risk people acting like lotus eaters and not being willing to work so he makes sure to not stay in one place for more than a month.

Titan Ody looks more like a harpy than a human (he has harpy legs and his body is mostly covered in feathers with exception being his chest, neck, arms and face) he has a pair of wings on his back and on his head.

God Odysseus looks mostly like a man in his twenties with wings on his lower back and head.

Raising Telemachus is different depending if it's god Odysseus or titan one. If he's a god, he, Penelope and Dio would stay in Argos at first and make sure if Telemachus is a god or not (since gods do not always give birth to other gods). Telemachus would be raised among people of Argos until he develops his domain.

If Odysseus is a titan they would raise Telemachus in the fields that are seen as Ody's main domain. Diomedes would make sure to take Telemachus regularly to some cities to make sure that he would know more about people. (Since God Ody is easily startled by people and titan one can't stay with them too long without affecting them)

In both Odysseus would share stories with his baby and show him many places while Penelope would introduce Telemachus to many books, arts and crafts.

Ody is more relaxed about raising Telemachus. He is a little bit overprotective but at the same time he wants his baby to enjoy what the world has to offer. Penelope is a kind but stern parent. She is the one who established things like bedtime or will give him timeout for misbehaving. Diomedes is at first confused as hell because he knows nothing about raising kids but he gets better with time. He also was only recently granted godhood or he is about to so he is still figuring out all the god stuff while trying to raise a baby that can easily lift him.

With the people of Argos it's a funny story.

At first they obviously didn't believe him when he said he's a lover of a titan. But once Sthenelus realised that Dio isn't lying he's PANICKING! Everyone knows that Odysseus has been married for over a century. They are scared that his wife will punish Dio and the entire Argos for this situation. They want to build a temple for Penelope to beg her for forgiveness only to turn out that Penelope doesn't mind sharing her husband (especially since the first thing Ody did was to ask for his wife's permission to have a date with a pretty human.) Dio decides to stay human until he finds someone to replace him on the throne and Sthenelus is always sweating bullets when he feels the presence of the titan and the goddess.

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?

Going back to that one au where Penelope is Scylla, how exactly did Ody's crew end up meeting Penelope? Also, how did Ody's family take the news that their son married a monster ?

Is Telemachus anything like his mom? How was he born?

Since he was a kid Ody loved traveling and adventures. He would sail to the furthest regions just to experience something exciting.

When he was 17 he sailed alone and ended up on an island without any city. There he met a beautiful lady near the shores. Ody offered her most of the meal he was making for himself which made her blush. They talked for some time and when Ody woke up in the morning he noticed a basket full of fish.

He stayed on the island for around a week and every day he met with Penelope. He asked her for the name of the island so he could find her again but she hesitated saying that he would not like to see a true side of her. He jokingly asked if she's a siren and she said that it would be easier if that was the case.

A month later Ody was sailing in hopes of finding her again. He didn't hesitate to risk his own health to do so.

What he didn't expect tho was meeting a bunch of pirates who wanted to capture the beautiful prince. It was then when a monster with six heads appeared and devoured the pirates.

Odysseus was shocked at first but then he recognised those beautiful violet eyes and without any hesitation he called her "Penelope?"

It turns out that it is her true form. The human one is usually used to lure people in (she still needs to have contact with seawater) but she fell for the mysterious prince who offered her food despite risking being hungry.

It was more than obvious that those two fell in love at the first sight and with that they arrived together in Ithaca where they got married. Odysseus built for her a palace that had streams of ocean water on the floor that allowed her to move comfortably.

Laertes and Anticlea were more than confused but seeing how happy their son is they couldn't do much about it.

Telemachus could be easily mistaken with ocean nymph due to the shape of his ears. He also has sharp teeth and lightly glowing eyes.

And how he was made...well...when two people like each other very very much...

What if Penelope was Scylla? How would that go?

In normal epic?

Still Ody loves her the same.

I imagine Ithaca being an island that is way further from the mainland. There Penelope would have a special palace built for her and her family built by Ody. She probably attacks anyone who would be seen as a threat to her or her family.

Also everyone would be shocked, scared and impressed with the fact that Ody married and had a child with a gigantic monster.

There would be a joke where Ody describes Penelope in the sweetest ways and because of it nobody is ever ready to face her true form.

There is a really good fic with a similar promise on ao3 called "Appetite". I really recommend it to you.

Helloooo! I came again to comment on another passage

I might be obsessed…

I just imagined Ody singing that part of The Challenge

"Just know, I'll be here, buying you time!"

Unfortunately, weaving an infinite shroud doesn't seem to be helping much now

*cries*

Hello 👋

It's good to see you again 🫶

Well...you are right about the weaving...but I have some other plans to recreate the vibe🤫🫣🤭
