These Wretched Storms Overhead

Odysseus of Ithaca, the sacker of Troy, had angered the gods during his travels many times. But what if, through his wit, sheer stubbornness and love for his family, he had managed to convince the gods to care for him as their own?The Olympians are equal parts baffled and intrigued by this man, who is not nearly as fearful as he ought to be when in their presence. Their eyes, unavoidably, turn to Ithaca.Or Odysseus decides he can’t lose Athena right after being robbed of Polites and refuses to let her go. Somehow it makes his life so much better and at the same time also so much worse.Or or Odysseus gets home earlier than in the original myth but now Ithaca is somehow starting to look like second Olympus and he has a few ideas what to do about it (they all go horribly)Penelope is not impressed. Neither is Eurylochus.Telemachus is just happy to have his dad home.
