    Summary

    He hated it.

    He hated her.

    What woman does not stand behind her son?!

    Did she not bear him?! Did she not nurse him when he cried at her breast or soothe his childhood fears?! Did she not sit with him beneath Lady Selene’s sky when he was small, teaching him the constellations, naming the winds? Was all of that a lie?! How could she turn her back on him now, when he needed her most?!

    Did she not see how they were devouring his home?!

    They drank his wine, they slaughtered his herds, they slept in his father’s hall, they spoke of his mother like she was some prize sow fattened for market, something to be taken.

    And she sat there, still, calm, refusing.

    Summary

    The day Antinous and Telemachus meet marks the start of three very different stories:

    For Telemachus is the start of a rom-com, where he gets to fell in love with the love of his life,
    For Antinous this is a revenge power trip, where he gets everything he ever wanted and he's able to fix all the wrongs,
    For Penelope (and later Odysseus) this is a horror story, where they have to see their son suffer without being able to do anything.

    Summary

    “Morning sleepyhead.” Telemachus shivered as he felt Diomedes’ warm bare chest against his back, arms wrapping around his waist.

    “Gods, you look like shit,” Diomedes murmured as he hooked his chin on Telemachus’ shoulder, “Probably should’ve given you less of that drug, huh?”

    [Or: Diomedes can’t have Odysseus so he settles for his son ]

    Summary

    Telemachus never saw it coming.

    Antinous never imagined a passing remark would one day carry consequences.

    Penelope never expected to choose between the crown and her son.

    When chaos finds its way into the palace, the question becomes whether the gods will interfere—

    or whether the mortals of Ithaca will take matters into their own hands.

    Summary

    Telemachus has always feared the day the suitors would break into his mother's bedroom, even though he knows the door perfectly - even magically - locked. No suitor will ever get to her. But tonight, Penelope's door is not the one the suitors plan on breaching...
