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
I'm really fascinated by the idea of Agamemnon pushing Odysseus and Menelaus to marry.
Menelaus would probably be a good and respectful husband to Ody so that's nice 🙂👍
Also a little funny to imagine but Agamemnon would for sure be at least a little pissed seeing Odysseus being all nice and calm around Menelaus meanwhile he got almost mauled by her.
I also wonder how Menelaus would react seeing Diomedes clearly pining for Ody. I can imagine him becoming slightly possessive and protective of his omega but it's also possible he would allow Dio to court her but at least at the beginning Menelaus would be there to make sure that Dio would not try anything malicious on her.
What would happen if Agamemnon found out that Odysseus is female Omega during the courting of Helen?
Would he want to blackmail her/court her/ or maybe demand that she marries Menelaus since he wants to ensure a throne for his brother (not being sure if Helen would pick any of them)
There are a few different scenarios that could happen. But he wouldn't attack her. That just wouldn't happen. Because a. Thats a bad look for him to attack an omega (especially an omega woman) who's the guest of his host and b. He had braincells prior to the war so he wasn't a complete fool
1. He gets her to reveal herself to everyone else and now she is getting hounded by everyone else along with Helen. (He would make a fool of her in front of everyone when he outs her too)
2. He attempts to blackmail her into getting Helen to pick him and would demand she marry his brother so he has a throne. And this Would also include getting her to reveal herself and humiliating her. The hardest part is convincing his brother to go along with it because Menelaus isn't the type to marry someone doing it out of distress. (But he would also be the safest option for Ody to marry)
3. He courts her himself. Because hey Ithaca would be a nice edition to his kingdom and forces her to marry him. This is the worst case scenario but also least likely to happen. He has seen Odysseus fight. And I don't think he would want to go through the pain of trying to "tame" her.
4. He doesn't tell anyone and blackmails her without a demand she marry his brother but would blackmail her into marrying one of the other suitors to put her back in her place. And most likely that suitor is the one who reveals she's a woman.
shipping telemachus with any of the generals from the trojan war is hilarious because it immediately becomes the scene from 22 jump street with the captain's daughter. you cannot tell me that if somehow achilles banged telemachus that diomedes wouldn't be absolutely dying with laughter running around like "SAY HELLO TO THE STRONGEST OF THE GREEKS BECAUSE ACHILLES IS FUCKED."
it would be even worse if the roles were reversed because you just know that Odysseus would have given diomedes advice. The others would raise themselves from the dead to give diomedes shit.
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
What did Titan Odysseus, Penelope, and Diomedes do as a couple? Considering Ody's abilities made it hard for them to be around him for a short period of time before they became deities, how did that work?
When Penelope and Diomedes were mortals they would have a very active first day with Ody and then calm second. Ody would then leave for a few hours and the cycle could repeat.
For example with Penelope they would play around trees, dance etc in the first day and in the second they would have a peaceful day during which Penelope would weave and Ody would carve in wood. Or they would both play instruments together.
With Diomedes they used to spar and play a lot of "tavern" games and later do something like fishing.
Also it's not like they could stay for too long with him before they got married and became gods. Penelope was a princess and she was expected to be home regularly and Diomedes met Odysseus when he was a soldier and a king. Ody usually had to be the one to remind them about their duties.
Titan Penelope? Ever thought about idea?
Not really. I'm more fascinated by the idea of titan falling in love with a human who would later become a god so they could be immortal together.
At least for me Penelope feels more special with her origin as a Spartan princess who fell in love with a titan.
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.
At the same time I want to say "I'm sorry" and "Aww, thank you" because it means I'm a capable writer hahaha
I'm currently working on a pretty big story based on Illiad and Odyssey but I don't want to share publicly any details until I have enough of it planned out. You can ask privately about it if you want <3
What if Odysseus died instead of Achilles. Wouldn't that be fucked up
Like Patroclus dies, and then he kills Hector, and then his dad dies. He now has three corpses in his tent. And Priam comes to beg for Hector's corpse and tells him to think of his father. But his father is right there. He's dead. Your son killed my father.
If you were your own Titan Odysseus lore, how would you go about it?
I mostly had one main idea. Where Odysseus would be a titan of peace (in the sense of calmness)
Odysseus would be a gentle titan who enjoys pretending to be mortal just to listen to stories shared by travelers. (That's how he gained most of his wisdom)
He enjoys some tricks and practical jokes but never something too cruel.
He and Hypnos would be friends and they would often be associated with one another for obvious reasons.
He's seen as a patron of caretakers and one of his symbols is chamomile.
His main story would come from how a god fell in love with him but he kept avoiding the advances with his words. Because of it the god decided to steal Eros' arrow and poured the gold from it into Ody's nectar. Once the titan drank it his tongue turned gold and he was forced to answer all advances with words of love.
To avoid gods/nymphs/people forcing upon him romances Odysseus started wearing rags and wrapping himself in bandages, looking like a sickly beggar so nobody would be interested in him.
He fell in love with Penelope who despite him looking displeasing she would always visit him. They would share stories while she was weaving baskets and he was carving in the wood.
Even then the Spartan princess would show her affection by gifting him instruments or singing love songs allowing the titan to listen to confessions without the need to say anything in exchange.
Helios decided to help the pair by whispering to the princess Ody's secret. His curse and his fears related to it. How no matter how much he loves someone he might not be able to ever be honest with them.
And so Penelope did something unexpected. She asked the titan to remove her tongue. Odysseus was terrified when he found out but then he understood. She did it so her words would never accidentally force Ody to say or do something that he didn't mean.
Once fed ambrosia, Penelope became the goddess of silence. Two beings with domains seen almost as inseparable.
Sometimes a traveler might hear in the middle of the night a soft humming of a woman and a melodic voice of man singing softly, almost whispering sweet words of love he has towards his wife.
I'd love to know what you think of Anticlea and Ctimene!!!
Menelaus would probably be a good husband who would care for her and give her tons of gifts but at the same time he would absolutely be overprotective!!!
Imagine him complaining that a basic greek armour is too short and is exposing her too much hahaha
Ody probably has her rebellious moments where she pretends to go to meet with some princesses only to cause chaos in disguise hahaha
And I bet Dio would be stubborn as hell. He would look for any way to get closer to Ody but ever since he welcomed her by kissing her hand, Menelaus was ready to draw some blood. Meanwhile Sthenelus and Euryalus would do their best to stop their brother from potentially starting a war over the omega hahaha
Ody would have Menelaus wrapped around her little finger with only exceptions being situations that could possibly put Ody in danger.
What would happen if Agamemnon found out that Odysseus is female Omega during the courting of Helen?
Would he want to blackmail her/court her/ or maybe demand that she marries Menelaus since he wants to ensure a throne for his brother (not being sure if Helen would pick any of them)

Why is God Odysseus so shy around people?
He is an over-thinker hahaha
Ikr also a blend of "people are so delicate! I need to be careful!" and "I don't want to be too pushy like other gods so how am I gonna do it?"
