Ody, a twilight cleric who has -2 dex and -3 charisma but doesn't let that stop her from trying her best

[venus-de-mil0-09]

Imagine a world where the Trojan war didn't happen until decades later

Telemachus is old enough to go fight with his father. He survives Troy.

But instead of Polites being the first to the cyclops it's Telemachus.

Jorge just posted about how Tiresias' motif plays during the part where Odysseus stabs Poseidon, and that got me thinking.

The choir that sings smthn like "RUN POSEIDON" in No Longer You

they...weren't talking to Ody, were they....

They were telling Poseidon himself, to run, weren't they

all i need in life is for odysseus to reunite with telemachus and immediately say, “you’re taller”

[lyculuscaelus]

Unpopular opinion for a popular word: I actually like the abbreviation “Ody”. But no, it’s not abt convenience of application; it’s not abt attachment to the character; it’s not abt the sound of this fanname. No. I’ll just leave y’all a question.

What makes you think of nobody else but Odysseus, out of all Greeks, whenever you hear the fanname “Ody”?

It’s true that you can’t find another Achaean hero whose name starts with Ody-. It’s true that Autolycus gave him a name that means “to be angry at, to hate” (ὀδύσσομαι, odyssomai) which ends up reversing into the very situation Odysseus was in—“hated by gods and men”. It’s true that Odysseus has become such a famous/infamous character that everyone who hears this name (or something similar) immediately thought of him. But there’s something behind this name that I deem necessary to mention.

What do you think “ody” (ὀδυ) mean?

Surprisingly, nothing. Ὀδυ alone doesn’t mean anything in Ancient Greek—it’s not even a proper prefix. But even more surprisingly, there’re just these specific words and their derivations you can find in a dictionary which start with these three letters, whose meanings would remind you of nobody else but Odysseus:

ὀδύνη (odynē), “pain, distress”; and the verb and all the nouns and adjectives with the same root and the similar meaning.

ὀδύρομαι (odyromai), “to lament, wail”; and all the nouns and adjectives with the same root and the similar meaning.

ὀδύσσομαι (odyssomai), “to be angry at, hate”; and just the name of a man and an epic.

That’s all.

That’s all the words you can think of when you look at these three first letters, “ody”. That’s all the meanings you can attach to these three first letters, “ody”. And that’s the very impression you would get, when you look at the man that is Odysseus—pain, lament, hated.

And that, is how it makes me think of nobody else but Odysseus, out of all Greeks, whenever I hear these three letters, “Ody”.
