Why Is God Odysseus So Shy Around People?

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.

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.)

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.

I hope you'll enjoy this story of a love entangled in the tragedy of war.

Do you have any myths about Diomedes after he gets turned into a god?

What was Titan Odysseus's childhood like?

1. not yet

2. A childhood of a titan is a vague timeframe. Odysseus remembers the time where people weren't created yet. He remembers the time without worship and different meanings of pleasure. There was a time when he just like the other ancient generation didn't possess sentimentality over acts of love making.

It used to be something as simple as drinking water from the river when you are thirsty and eating fruits when you are hungry. Odysseus still remembers the names of titans, nymphs and satyrs that used to share with him pleasure. He isn't sure if he sires any children from that time since children made between titans or ancient gods like Nyx or Gaya were growing up so fast they barely needed parents and they quickly understood the meaning of domains that they embodied. After all he barely remembers Gaya or Eros (in Hesiod's Theogony Eros as spiritual embodiment of love was made by Khaos instead of being son of Aphrodite) ever nurturing him or teaching him about his domain. He WAS the peace. He was what calmed those in distress and what allowed others to enjoy a quiet existence of nature.

But then the people arrived. Those creatures made out of clay were fascinated to the titan who despite living for centuries was maybe in his teen years.

They lived for such a short time that they saw importance in the smallest of things. Odysseus loved seeing how people would put a lot of care in creating tasty food, building homes or nurturing their youth.

He then also witnessed the true meaning of marriage and family. People who lived for such a short time would find another half to share life with. They would do everything together and even refused to share the nights with anyone else just to prove their devotion.

While Odysseus never found interest in the idea of being worshipped by the people, ha absolutely fell in love with the marriages. Now he couldn't imagine having an affair with anyone that wasn't this special for him. And so he waited until he found himself someone so special he would like to share his life with.

What's your take on if Odysseus was transported back in time to the start of the Trojan War after defeating for Poseidon?

That depends:...

If it was just his mind going back then it could be an interesting way to explore his changed morality and his view on people.

He would probably make sure that Eurylochus does not have a reason to doubt him by being more clear in what his intentions are.

He would also struggle less/more with his PTSD which would change his interactions with Polites.

Also the journey back would be easier since he would know to avoid or to kill the Cyclop so they would back home in a few months or a year. (Only in epic universe)

But if Ody got physically transported back it would be just painful.

He aged ten more years, has scars he can't speak of and his friends would barely recognise him. In both of those he would avoid telling anyone what happened. Also in both it's hard to say what would be his relation with Athena.

She didn't have her character arc so he would face her cold self after knowing how she acts at her worst.

There is a high chance they would part ways anyway because Ody would not trust her and she didn't have the reason to change her mindset.

Short "myth" about Titan of Peace Odysseus.

After many days Dionysus finally found a perfect spot for his cult to celebrate. It was a small island full of fruits, flowers and other breathtaking sights.

He let his people and satyrs alone for a day while he would gather the wine needed. What surprised him was that once he was back, his people were asleep. Even when they woke up they would act too calm to enjoy a party.

Dionysus tried again and again to make them active. In the act of desperation he called out Apollo to help him.

The god of music at first laughed at the god of wine, claiming that he's so boring that even his followers mellowed down.

But suddenly the same thing happened to Apollo's followers as well. His musicians would only play lullabies and his dancers only moved slowly in embrace.

Buty gods tried to find the source of it all and it was then where they found Titan Odysseus sleeping in the nearby field of flowers.

Narcoleptic titan probably planned only to nap for a short while but black or loud wildlife on this island created a situation where nothing would wake him up naturally and now everyone was experiencing an effect of his domain.

Both gods tried everything to wake him up but nothing was helping. The river was too shallow, warm and calm to wake up titan and most animals were unwilling to help.

Finally out of desperation Dionysus lured in the loudest goat on the island and Apollo used its horn to turn it into an instrument noisy enough to awaken their friend.

They blew at it with the full power of their lungs. It was heard by a nearby island as well and even Helios would almost trip from his chariot, being startled by the instrument.

But it worked! Odysseus woke up. With slow movement he stretched his limbs. Seeing tired looking Apollo and Dionysus (they are tired since they tried to wake him up for days) he asks if he can help them with anything. The two gods explained the situation which made Odysseus embarrassed. He apologised and promised to leave the island, but Dionysus invited Ody to come back in three days. He would be able to enjoy some fun and music and he would be a huge help in calming down drunk followers of his.

The gods and titan enjoyed their time with mortals and the world was introduced to new instruments. The horn 📯

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.

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.
