How did Titan Odysseus meet any of his friends?
He met his more "ancient" friends by the fact that many titans wanted to meet one another. They were always fascinated when a new one would be born since it would usually bring some interesting changes to their routines. (Especially when their existence alone was usually more than enough to affect their surroundings)
Gods usually introduce themselves to titans they encounter out of respect. Because Ody doesn't really care about the hierarchy he doesn't mind just inviting anyone interested for some wine and gossip.
With people he usually pretends to be one when walking among them. He isn't the biggest fan of people acting as his followers. That way he can see their true selves and so he becomes friends with them more naturally.
He met Diomedes by pretending to be one of the soldiers while the army was travelling. He was curious and he enjoyed how soldiers would sing songs and dance when taking breaks.
Sthenelus deserves a better paycheck hahaha 🤣
I don't like te element about his wife for many reasons (main one being incest) because of it I usually don't include her in my stories or au's.
I'm not sure tbh...I'm aware he in some stores becomes one but I never hear what exactly he becomes.
I like the idea of him being a god of something war/battle related since it would fit him well and add interesting contrast between him and Odysseus and Penelope.
Maybe...🤔
Maybe he would be a god of vengeance, wrath, or conquest.
I'm not sure yet. I might come up with something later. We will see 🙈
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.
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 👀 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
What is your take on an eldritch gods au?
I always imagined the gods like Nyx, Tartarus, Gaya, Uranos etc as eldritch gods. Meanwhile their descendants are becoming more and more human-like.
When it comes to other gods as eldritch I rarely thought about it until I found this artist on Instagram. I love their ideas when it comes to eldritch gods. https://www.instagram.com/the.angel.incarnate?igsh=MWpwYmJjY2dobzVlNw==
I have some ideas for how the relationship between Ody and Athena would change and for some interactions between gods and mortals but most of it is not polished.
All I can say for now is that Athena would obsessively insert herself into Ody's life. At first it would be thought that she does it out of parental love but then it becomes clear that it's something more and it's not good. She envies any connection that Odysseus has to others and she demands to have it too. It would come from the fact that it's the first time she takes interest in a human since his young age. Kids don't understand how they are supposed to worship gods so kid Ody would treat her with warmth which confuses the goddess but then she becomes obsessed with it.
Relationship between campers, teachers and Ody is like:
Campers: We need an adult!
Campers: *run towards Odysseus*
***
Teachers: We need an adult!
Teachers: Wait...WE are the adults...
Teachers: WE NEED ADULTIER ADULT!!!
Teachers: *run towards Odysseus*
god au:What would those at Camp Half Blood do if someone pranked them into believing that Odysseus was retiring?
Crash out
Will you ever make a full fic of your deity!ody au?
Also I love your work! Thanks to you I am now obsessed with hector/odysseus!!
I might once I have a bigger idea for the entire story, because for now I just have an idea for a few smaller stories.
Thank you so much 😊 I'm happy you like my crack ship. In around a week or two a new chapter will be posted.
So, how exactly does death work for demigods? Cuz one half of Hercules went to the underworld, and one half went to Olympus. Do you think they're still connected to that other half?
I don't think his soul was split in half. It's more likely that as a demigod it takes less effort to burn away his mortality. It is something that gods were doing to people to grant them a longer lifespan but it seems that Heracles didn't need to do it for a long time.
Probably the main reason why he stopped for some time was because he wanted his baby to be close to him and it wasn't the best way to seduce people hahaha
Hermes: Hi beautiful, looking for some fun?
Baby Ody: Dad? Are you "Zeusing" again?
Hermes:...How about we go for some nice (Pg12) Ice cream instead?
Does Hermes change after the entire Ody situation or does he still sleep regularly with mortals?
He stops for like a few years but then 100% starts up again
So, how exactly did God Odysseus (Poseidon's kid) come to be?
Well...it was originally inspired by your ask hahaha
But in the myth it would be that Laertes and the Argonauts were in a big danger while sailing and they promised to give Poseidon anything to save them. Poseidon agrees and the same night he slept with Anticlea.
For the first few years Odysseus was raised among his human family but his obvious godly heritage attracted plenty of dangerous people who wouldn't mind having a demigod as a partner.
Poseidon seeing his son being in danger (situation similar to Theseus and Helen) decides to take him and raise him as a god. He gives Ody ambrosia and offers him a beautiful island where he would not meet any harm.( Odysseus still visits his family and their descendants regularly.)
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.
Oh my god wait. What if the blessings of the gods manifested physically? Like if a god takes an interest in you, EVERYONE is going to see it, for better or worse. And if you lose their favour? Everyone can see that, too
Jason with a peacock tail and feather-crest, both of which go faded and limp when he turns on Medea, so that they drag on the floor and get in the way
Pollux with eagle wings instead of arms, so Castor acts as his hands and that’s why they’re inseparable. When Castor dies and Pollux splits his immortality with him, they each get one arm and one wing, so one can’t fly without the other
Odysseus with a forked tongue and fangs—a subtle feature that he can hide when he needs to. When Athena feels like being helpful (like when she disguises him as a beggar) she’ll cast an illusion over it, but Penelope immediately recognises him by his lisp
When Athena gives Diomedes the blessing of seeing through the gods’ disguises, he also gets owl eyes and the ability to turn his head 180 degrees. This helps when Odysseus tries to stab him in the back on the Palladium heist
HERACLES WITH BULL HORNS. I have nothing to add I just think that sounds sick as hell
Helen grows beautiful golden feathers instead of hair. Nothing useful, just an obvious sign of her heritage that adds to her appeal to the suitors: whoever wins her hand gets to walk around with a physical symbol of Zeus’s favour
Atalanta with antlers that snap when she gets married, leaving jagged shards behind that won’t go blunt and can’t be sharpened down. She can have her husband, but he can’t touch her head without risking badly cutting himself. This can either be one final blessing or a curse depending on how consensual you interpret the marriage
Hector has pristine white raven wings, making him even more terrifying to the Achaeans, flying into battle like divine intervention, and a symbol of hope for the Trojans. Achilles plucks the feathers off his corpse, but they won’t stop growing back. Still, Achilles has a cloak made from them and wears it into battle, turning Troy’s symbol against them
Paris gets dove wings, but he tells everyone they’re too small to fly with because he’s a coward and doesn’t want to have the same responsibilities as Hector. Then he flies away from the duel with Menelaus in front of the entire army, and that’s when Troy finally loses what’s left of their respect for him
