How Much Do You Think God Or Titan Odysseus Affects Greek Mythology If At All?

Ody is told that he is needed somewhere only to enter the palace where the princess is like:

How Aphrodite usually pranks/pranked Ody?

Trying to set him up on dates/situations where a romantic or sexual encounter might occur

She is SO invested in his love life like to an unreasonable level of OBSESSION

Winged Ody anybody?

If you think about it epic could easily be turned analog horror series.

So, as for god Odysseus do you have any fun facts about it or at least more of how their cults work?

I'm not well versed with analog horrors (I'm a bigger fan of creepy pasta/books/movies) so I can't say much about the first part.

And for god Odysseus:

- He invented wind chimes (as a source of comfort and also a simple alarm), people attach it to the window of the rooms that they want Odysseus to protect the most (like a child's bedroom), it also works as a basic alarm since trying to break in would make a noise (the wind chimes that are made as a sign for Odysseus have a hawk feather attached to it)

- His first temple was built in Ithaca by Ctimene.

- When he met Diomedes for the first time he pretended to be human to not startle the teen but he didn't realise that the young soldier was attracted to him. (Ody is super oblivious to courting until someone says bluntly what they want/feel)

- Eris is obsessed with Odysseus. She is in love with him and at first she tries to arrange the marriage between them by getting blessings from Hermes and Zeus. Hermes instantly refused and Zeus only refused because Hermes demanded it. She always chases after him and he escapes. It would be a symbol of how you don't feel safe in places full of discord and vice versa.

- Also there would be more than one myth mentioning Eris trying to be with Odysseus (In a similar way we have more than one myth about Apollo's bad luck with lovers)

- Ody chirps and makes bird noises when happy/sad/startled

- Because he was working too much (and because Ares got mad that many conflicts were stopped) Hypnos was ordered by Zeus to make Ody narcoleptic. Now Ody takes a few naps during the day.

- he gave the hedgehog its spikes. The small animal was often bullied by other creatures which made Ody sad, especially since the little being was always playing with it. Hedgehog originally had a very soft fur, it also explained how it was too scared to bite someone. And so when a satyr was using a hedgehog as a pillow to take a nap, Ody turned the fur on the back into spikes, harming satyr and scaring him away.

- bow is his special tool that he uses for his domain. The arrows when hit by someone will send a jolt/shiver that is a silent warning from upcoming danger (explaining idea of "sixth sense"/"sensing danger(having a bad feeling about something)")

I'm obsessed with tall Penelope and short Odysseus, I fully believe she looked down when Ody got back. Ody's short ass was looking up the whole time.

WOMEN! QUEENS! BEAUTIES!!!!

FINALLY! I came up with a vague concept of the women of Sparta, my favourite one is Clytemnestra, I kind of like how she turned out and how she is different from her cousin and sister, I wanted her to be Extravagant, different,more and less traditional at the same time, just like my Hera( I always say that Agamemnon and Clytemnestra are just the earthly equivalent of Zeus and Hera, change my mind)

Especially when in my mind each of them are associated with goddesses that started the whole war

Penelope-Athena

Helen-Aphrodite

Clytemnestra -Hera

bonus some fancy hairstyles for Hera that she will interchange because she can (and I can't decide)

So how exactly do god pregnancies work? And how different is they're aging process compared to humans when they're born? For someone like Penelope who was human before then turned into a goddess I imagine this might be quite confusing for her.

It mostly depends on god and what form they have when "trying for the baby". That's why Helen was born from an egg.

If they take the shape of the person it means it will be a normal human pregnancy. (For example what happened to Hermes and Dionysus).

Things get complicated when it's between gods/titans/inhuman creatures. Then the pregnancy can be something as abstract as a child simply appearing as a representation of their love (for example Anteros) or a child might skip the entire pregnancy or process of baby making when it embodies some emotions or past grudges (Hephaestus, Athena, Erechtheus, Ovids' Pegasus). Sometimes it might even be something very abstract (Erechtheus once again), very simple or a little confusing.

Penelope should not be too worried. Ody isn't too freaky so the weirdest thing that might happen is Penelope laying an egg.

When the child is born it mostly depends on if it's going to inherit the godhood. It doesn't always happen, even with children of two gods. If the child inherits the godhood it will quicker grow from newborn to child (around twice as fast usually - Hermes is exemption , not a rule)

Gods that are born normally are usually just kids that grow up without anything too weird. Their strength isn't usually the problem since if their parents are gods it shouldn't bring them trouble.

Or maybe Ares is the one who wants to pair them up!?

He would one day run to Penelope in the middle of her training and shout in excitement "You won't believe this, but I think I found a perfect boyfriend for you!"

And Ares would try to describe Ody in the best way possible while Penelope doesn't like the idea of being with god because on her head, the god would probably want s*x and nothing more.

I have an idea for an au, basically the entire plot of God Odysseus, but instead of Penelope, it is now the daughter of Ares because you know Spartan heritage. How would that work out compared to Odysseus?

I think the only change is Ares would be protective of his daughter. But he also helped train and raise Ody so he knows he would be a good match for Penelope.

Titan Odysseus you said that he could create sanctuaries that couldn't be easily accessed by others. How often did he use those and what was the reason he used them for?

He uses them mostly to make sure people won't be accidentally affected by his presence. He also makes them to protect people that he witnessed being chased by gods, satyrs etc.

He also used to make those when having a date with a lover so they would not be spotted together by some strangers.

He doesn't use them too often. Just when he feels it's needed.

I listened to a lot of creepypastas as a teen. I know only the basics about scp and some of those creatures. (I also played "SCP: The Endurance" which is a fun mix of fnaf and scp)

I'm not sure about the Murphy law thing. I think in the only scenario it would work would be if Eris was causing it when people refused to tell her where Ody escaped or where he's hiding. Because of it she would cause some minor mischief/bad luck out of pettiness

Penelope always takes care of her adorable husband and he always makes happy noises or is grooming her hair (also decorating it with his feathers)

Hedgehogs are just cute little guys who want to be left alone and Ody relates to that.

If you think about it epic could easily be turned analog horror series.

Let me present to you "Sing, O Muse, of Agony"

A retelling of the Illiad and Odyssey with two key differences being that Odysseus is a woman in this story and that she is/was in a relationship with Hector of Troy.

You'll have to see for yourself how things will turn out for them.
