Odysseus' last words to Poseidon

[greeknerdsstuff]

⚠️It does not justify their actions in a culture and period full of war and suffering⚠️

okay, so let's take Zeus' prophecy a little too directly and imagine that Odysseus actually adopted little Astyanax

_

5-years-old Astyanax *crying*: DAD, I'M SORRY! I DROPPED THE CANDLE AND NOW YOUR CHAIR IS ON FIRE!

Odysseus:

Odyseus, mid-heart attack: Is- Is that it???

*looks on the sky and pointing at Astyanax*: HE DID IT, ALRIGHT? EVERYONE SAW IT? HE. DID IT. Throne and house are burning. We're done here.

*thunder*

Odysseus:

Odysseus: I take it as yes.

Somehow, Athena seems to have been immortalized with one gesture in particular

I call it the "Odysseus tf you do now?"

One day I'm going to write a fic like this. But today all I can offer is a meme

Was just reminded of my stupid Odysseus parody of the Theoden of Rohan meme:

[lovely-p-issues]

Athena: Consider this as my goodbye!

Hermes:

Hermes: sooo, you don't want him anymore?

Athena:

Hermes flying away on a cloud made of smoke he blew out while smoking and turning the music on: IT'S TIME TO ✨SHINE✨ MY NEW FAVOURITE MORTAL-

_

I strongly believe that all gods play either "who is his bestie now" or "whose turn to torture him it is" game and Hermes? Hermes would cheat like hundreds of times for Odysseus.

*Hera finding out about Dionysus*

Hera: YOU’RE ZEUS’S SON?… THAT UNFAITHFUL,DOUBLE-CROSSING, TWO-TIMING ASS OF A HUSBAND! I am going to kil-

Dionysus: WAIT! But I’m the god of wine!

Hera: -keep you safe… I’m going to keep you safe is what I was about to say!

Dionysus:

Hera: …Do you have a wine list?

So what if when they get to the suitors, they are killing everyone, and then Penelope and Odysseus reunite with tears, and it's super emotional. And then while they are distracted, a suitor is going to stab them. But then Astyanax just fucking jumps on his back and starts stabbing him repeatedly with Telemachus in the back like 😐

I can imagine the exchange is like

Astyanax: :3

Penelope: Who's that feral child?

Odysseus: Ours. I was pregnant :)

Penelope: [visible confusion]

Telemachus: I think his blood got in my mouth-
