Ithaca Stories

This is an EPIC: The Musical fanfiction! Here is the blurb: The king of Ithaca has finally returned home after his twenty-year long journey, ready to rebuild his life with the family he nearly lost. But home is not the end of the story - it's the beginning of a new kind of challenge. As Odysseus struggles to relearn peace, reconnect with Penelope, figure out how to be a father to a son who grew up without him, and battle against his own inner turmoil and trauma from his journey, the halls of Ithaca become their own unpredictable battlefield. "Ithacantics" follows the chaos, comedy, and heartache of a hero trying to navigate domestic life, divine interference, overcoming trauma, and the strange art of being human after becoming a legend, while also diving into backstories of well known and loved characters and the life of pre-Odyssey Odysseus. So, come along, old friend. I'm sure you know how this story goes - just not this part. (PS: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR 400 VIEWS! I'm so glad people enjoy this as I was hesitant to post it here at first! Thank you all!)

Okay so this is an xTelemachus story, where the two have stressful lives, for telemachus it's the suitors and stuff and for Pallas (the girl), it's her mother. They've known each other for quite a time and their presence is like an escape from the world for them, but maybe that's not gonna be possible anymore, when reality finally catches up. This is labeled as 'fiction' and not 'fanfiction' because it does not directly follow EPIC the musical but also varies from the original Epic. I wrote this story bbc I didn't find so many Telemachus stories, anyway, enjoy :)

"For our future: Uncertain, happy, or miserable. However it may be, as long as I'm with you." There are two basic rules for enjoying a happy and uncomplicated life: don't fall in love with your best friend, and don't fall for a womanizer's charms. Unfortunately for Telemachus and Eleanor, neither of them were very good at following instructions. They swore it would never happen, but it seems Aphrodite works in mysterious ways. Between the weight of silence and the fear of confessing, will they play it safe or will they have the courage to risk everything to discover the truth? Only one thing is clear: once they cross that line, there's no going back. ════════ ✧ ════════ =͟͟͞͞➳ Telemachus EPIC x FemOC. =͟͟͞͞➳ Crumbs of Circe x Hermes on Chapter 3. =͟͟͞͞➳ Updates every two weeks. =͟͟͞͞➳ Fanarts used for the cover and banners: @Wasaami on Tiktok and @Roleder.Art on Instagram.

Odysseus, the chosen mind of Athena. King of Ithaca at 13. Diomedes, the chosen warrior of Athena. King of Argos at 17. An 'alliance' neither wishes to name but both of them need. A life shared through letters and behind closed doors. A marriage arranged by the Grey-Eyed Goddess to the woman of Odysseus' choice. A reckless example in the infamous lovers that are Patroclus and Achilles. What could go wrong? --- Okay I love the ship of Odysseus x Diomedes and this is basically by attempt a recreating it!!

The story of Ithaca cruising family! A family of four started their journey around the world on a sailboat. They planned everything, but not everything would go with their plan. The ocean can not be conquered, nature can not be conquered. Humans are only part of nature. Life-threatening moments and joys, dolphins and penguins, storms and rainbows, broken engines and sails... What is next? Who knows! But don't give up and go forward...

Bella is not the weak and fragile human seen in the original books. But the fact lies...what is she? A witch? hmm...too simple. A faerie?...boring. What about...both? ;) She is much more powerful than Edward could ever imagine... Bella, born to a witch and a wizard was obviously originally a witch. But fate had something else written for her. Trapped between the worlds, will she be able to fight for her love and save Ithaca and Prythian in time? Read to find out :D

Lux Bishop has escaped many things. Over bearing, cold hearted parents, a boring life living a dream that isn’t even hers, and boring, old America. So when she escapes to London to live out her dream, she told herself she’d do whatever it took to keep her life the way she wanted it to be, that nothing would hold her back and stop her from living her dream. Funny thing about life is it doesn’t like being stuck on a one way track. So when her happy, comfortable life takes a turn, will it be for the best or for the worst? Taking in the consideration of a crazy boy band and maybe the love of her life, you never really know.

This is a poem about Polyphemos, the one-eyed man-eating Kyclops, whom Odysseus, master of seaways and landways, blinded. The Odyssey by Homer inspired me to write this poem, which strives to bring a different perspective to the infamous Kyclops' tale.

The Odyssey is a well known Ancient Greek story about the main hero Odysseus, who travels to Troy to retrieve Helen and make it back to Ithaca. On his way home, he is faced with dangers and trials that make his journey much more difficult. This story, however, will be a writing of Jorge Rivera-Herrans, "Epic the Musical" adaptation of the story. I have not read the actual book so I'm solely going by Epic, which is not all canonical.

Epic The Musical? Yes. Young Telemachus found a little girl in the training hall aggressively hacking down a training dummy with a wooden sword. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Eftychia. He didn't know much about the girl, only in passing. Her mother was his mother's childhood friend. And with her mother's recent passing, her father became one of the queen's suitors, in short, an enemy. "What are you doing here?" he asked. The girl didn't look up but answered, "They won't let me hold a sword at home." "And?" Telemachus asked, not satisfied with the answer. "And mother said, Spartan girls do rigorous physical training. So I should have one too," she explained, pointing the wooden sword at him, "Want to spar?" Telemachus raised his brow at her. He knows that she was born and raised in Ithaca and was about to point it out when he noticed her red puffy eyes. She did just lose her mother. Telemachus agreed to the spar not expecting that this girl would be someone who would be by his side no matter what.

Alethea is not new to the New York Museum of Natural History, but she does not recognize a new night guard that comes in. She was forgotten by epics and bards, for her existence was only found several thousand years later in Homer's drafts. The existence of a twin child of Telemachus. She was given a special place, for she was a hidden piece to the puzzle in Homer's epics. She will have to prove that she is truly the Princess of Ithaca, and a Pharaoh might fall to his knees and bow to her. And Alethea might just do the same. For Royal are we. ALETHEA IS NOT A REAL CHARACTER IN THE ODYSSEY OR THE ILIAD!!! SHE IS A CHARACTER THAT I MADE UP BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A COOL CONCEPT!! ALL CHARACTERS IN THE NATM UNIVERSE BELONG TO THE FRANCHISE THE ONLY CHARACTERS THAT I OWN IS ALETHEA HOMER OWNS ALL CHARACTERS FROM THE ODYSSEY AND THE ILIAD

Josh and Audrey live in Ithaca, New York, "A great place to live." Everyone who lives here has the perfect life, but you never know what could be going on outside of the ordinary. Rock skipping leads to a fantastic discovery, which the two children become intertwined with.

I have 3 different stories going on at once so I will update the chapters like this: "Annabeth (1)" "Achilles (1)" and "Penelope (1)" from now on, with the number changing by chapter. And no, I'm not going to be doing these in an order, literally just whatever I feel like doing it in.

The wars are over, but the story isn't. Ode to the Daughter of Death is a collection of quiet hymns to the life Kallistrate and Telemachus built in the shadow of Olympus-a mortal marriage that endures gods, grief, and time itself. Across the years, their home becomes a kingdom shaped by devotion: Penelope's wisdom still steering its halls, Odysseus' memory haunting its shorelines, and their children growing into the myths that will outlive them. From the reckless tenderness of young love to the calm ache of old age, these stories trace the heartbeat of Ithaca-the laughter that fills its courtyards, the olive groves that remember their vows, and the gods who cannot quite let them go. Ares is still as sharp as a blade's edge; Athena still watches from her high, silent perch; Althea still learns how to wield both blade and mercy. Between feasts and funerals, miracles and mischief, this is the song of what remains when legends rest-the love, the lineage, and the mortal courage that dares to keep living.
