I like to think Ody got a little traumatized with water for a while...
(also i want to thank you all for the love on my first post of them….i wasn't expecting that for a silly joke 🧍♂️)
Hycanith and Apollo sillys
Betrayal
quick thing for @nothing-impt substitute mentor au bc i needed an excuse to draw unhinged telemachus
made a concept for my tiresias design
I think the thing that makes me go feral in God Games is the fact that Athena matches the melody of every god she tries to persuade, except for Ares.
Ares, the only god Athena can never see eye to eye with, the brother she is by nature eternally pitted against, the guy she just fucking hates. She whips her own theme out to rebuke him and it is glorious
Before he slaughters the suitors... he needs to...apologize to his dear friend first. And he will tie the headband where it won't get tainted by blood ☺️
drew Ody unhinged cuz ya boi’s a bit off his rocker so to speak…
Don’t worry it’s ok I gave him his wifey:
Fearless child, Broken boy; Tell me what it's like to burn.
(I don't know the context of this screenshot here. I just know that this was the most in character moment ever)
Zeus and Hermes judging if these 2 villagers (Baucis and philemon) respected xenia good enough or if they should hit them with uncalled for retribution

He's just like his dad
EPIC FANS GATHER ROUND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! witness my insane character designs and say NOTHING about my obvious lack of Greek mythology knowledge thank u
What's your take on Odysseus's trauma and recovery back in Ithaca?
*looks at all the comics I made*
Lol but really, I realistically expect it to be severely rocky. He’ll have good days, mostly bad days, but what keeps him grounded is of course his family, you know?
But imagine losing your entire fleet under your command...
...only to come back to an entire population of thousands of people, expecting that you will lead them.
What if he fails again?
After the Ithaca Saga, I believe that Odysseus thought he and Athena were officially done forever and would only occasionally see each other because she was mentoring Telemachus now. He really thinks there's no way they can reconnect anymore and attempt at a friendship this time, but he's fine with it, he can accept it.
That is until Telemachus goes up to him one day like:
"Hey father, can I ask you something?"
"Yes son, of course."
"You mentored under Athena before right? Do you happen to know a friend of hers?"
"Oh I... I wasn't aware Athena had friends before. She was very adamant about that "No Friends" rule back then... kind of stings."
"Oh really? She talks about him a lot."
"Does she now? *mumbling* must be so special about this fRieNd of Athena..."
"Yeah she told me about this one time he wanted to impress someone, so he climbed on all the way to the tree branch next to the balcony of their room and leaned against the trunk to look cool, but he kept talking to Athena in her owl appearance so he didn't notice the other person going to the balcony and he got so spooked when they called out to him, he turned too fast and lost balance, slipped, smacked his ass on the tree branch and broke his arm when he fell, so he had to wear a sling for 3 months and couldn't sit down for 2 weeks."
"....call Athena right now."
"Why-"
"ATHENA!!!"
The second Athena appeared, Odysseus threw himself at her, on one hand going "YOU CONSIDER ME YOUR FRIEND WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!?!?!?!" and on the other going "WHY ARE YOU TELLING MY SON ALL MY EMBARRASSING STORIES!?!?! THAT WAS BETWEEN ME, PENELOPE AND YOU!!"
He was actually crying. Athena has absolutely no idea what is happening or what she should do. Telemachus just discovered a whole new side of his dad and might know where he gets it from now....
When your special interest is your dad who is out at sea
ERM just some epic pieces cause im in way deep (ft neal_illustrator's zeus, gigi's odysseus, and anniflamma's poseidon)
You know i had to
my telemachus design references, finally 🙌
bonus
hey so i Fully Believe that telemachus was not afraid of odysseus in Hold Them Down
people may have told him stories of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, Athena's chosen Champion, Hero of Troy
but mama's boy telemachus sat by her feet as she wove tapestry after tapestry; and penelope told her little wolf stories of his father
how they met, how he tripped over himself to woo her, how he cried his eyes out when penelope became pregnant, how telemachus wouldn't sleep in his cot as a baby because he was so used to being in his father's arms because odysseus would not put him down; and yes, how viciously he defended their family when the atrides came to retrieve him for the war
telemachus? the child of the Unhinged Power Couple? who knew very well how horrible those suitors were, how they treated him and spoke of his mother?
took one look at his dad viciously protecting their home, their family, and thought he was the coolest, strongest person ever (after mom ofc)
My life has one mission, create the greatest warrior
Odysseus and Athena.
Drew this after finding out Ody was king at 13. Immediately needed to draw Pallas “bad at emotions w mortals” Athena trying to help
hey bro are u okay. it's just that ur classical guitar motif turned into an electric guitar for a second there. yeah like how the gods are all represented by electric instruments... i just got a little bit worried that you might be abandoning your humanity haha
Calypso: The stars are beautiful tonight.
Odysseus: You know who else is beautiful?
Calypso (blushing): Who?
Odysseus: Penelope.
"Astynax (the infant) was quiet and didn't cry when Odysseus was holding him and was even smiling and reaching out for him, because Odysseus was wearing his helmet, so he must have thought it was his father, Hector, picking him up."
Me after reading this take:
Dangerous but Ody is actually happy to see Hermes
Odysseus after returning to Ithaca:
