Greek Apologies

I keep hearing people say that Odysseus never apologized properly to Poseidon but in the Greek way he did.

Basically the Greek word that apology is derived from- Apologia means “Speaking in Defense”.

Basically the Greeks would explain why you did what you did while expressing sympathy and remaining respectful.

The reason why Poseidon didn’t accept the apology was because Odysseus permanently crippled Poseidon’s son which was like, a great disgrace for that time period- it would’ve been more honorable to kill Polyphemus.

But anyways- my whole point was that Odysseus DID apologize correctly but due to the disgrace of what Odysseus did, it’s why Poseidon was so angry and said, “This totally could’ve been avoided had you just killed my son.”

This is why Odysseus was quiet when Eurylochus apologized for the wind bag- because he didn’t apologize correctly per the time period, he just said “I’m so sorry, forgive me.” He didn’t give a defense or reasoning, he just begged to be forgiven.

something something Eury notices Ody’s hair has grown since troy and realizes that Ody looks almost identical to Ctimene now

#epic the musical #odysseus #eurylochus #greek mythology #when they land on aeaea eury looks at ody with a confession and an apology on his lips #only for his lungs to fail him when he sees ody's hair #sees the way ody's brown curls (copper not bronze) catches helios' light in a breathtaking way #so similar to how ctimene's hair would look in the early mornings #except ody's is a tad more wild a bit more tangled and damp after facing poseidon #(after losing so much)#it's not the exact same #but it's familiar #and suddenly eury can't find his voice anymore

CALLING ALL PJO AND HOO FANS!!!!

Did I get your attention? Yes? Good. I feel that I need to fix my writing skills and thus I have decided to rewrite the entire HoO series to fix some problems I (and perhaps you) have with it as well as to add foreshadowing for fics I'm planning that take place afterwards.

Am I claiming that my writing is better than that of Rick's? God no, I'm a child with internet access and a Greek Myth obsession, but I still think that it would be a lovely writing exercise and if anything I'd practice a bit more.

That's why I'm coming to you, dear readers and Tumblr users, for ideas. What plotline did you dislike? Which character would you like to have seen portrayed slightly differently? Which ideas and concepts would you like to see implemented? What problems and issues do you have with the books that I may be able to include in my fic?

I ask this not because I'll do every single one, but because I'd like to find some I agree with and/ or inspire me. Hell, I might not even write/ finish it, but isn't that the joy of fanfiction? Its just a collection of nerds spending too much time with their little guys and gals in stories.

Um anyways, I think that I will unfortunately have to add a bunch of tags to get some actual traction. Sorry if that annoys anyone!
