Summary
You’ve heard this story before.
A city crumbles, a man gets hopelessly lost, a woman waits around weaving trauma into tapestry. Sure, the names change, but the bones?
Honey, they’re always the same.
A clever king, a weeping queen, and a chorus of gods betting mortal lives like it’s game night on Olympus.
But here’s the thing about stories—they’re a lot like me.
Slippery.
Quick-footed.
Fond of disguises.
And absolutely obsessed with drama.
Now this one?
Oh, it’s a special little tragedy~ -

Summary
Antinous was only fifteen when his father sent him to be a suitor. He was left, abandoned, to take on a task he had no want for. "Become the King of Ithaca" was his only goal, his mantra, left to him by his father. Will it be enough to make him survive? Or will a young prince, who doesn't know when to quit, show him that he can be more than what cruel men have already decided he is?

Loving is Hard, it Don't Always Work by whenthepawnn

Summary
Mother and Father were fighting.
Again.
Penelope let out a tired sigh as the voices of her parents, the strong King Icarius and the beautiful Queen Periboea, began growing louder, having their second argument of the day. Or was it the third?
Their fighting had increased lately, and they were unable to be in the same room anymore without it turning into a screaming match.
She wondered how everything came to be this way - Mother and Father used to be so loving with one another, never shying away from displaying their affection. Her father once proudly stated that he and her mother had a love that all of Achaea envied, and Penelope wondered where it had all gone wrong.
(Or, 11-year-old Penelope tries to find the answer to what being in love means to understand the crumbling marriage of her Mother and Father)

Patroklos’ life collapses after the death of Clysonymus, sending his family into disgrace and forcing them to relocate to Opus.

Yet Opus is no safe haven. Tensions inside the household deepen, old wounds fester, and Patroklos begins to sense that the world around him carries a weight beyond his personal tragedy. Family secrets, strange symbols, and encounters with people tied to something older than himself plant the first seeds of unease.

Summary
“Of course not,” Penelope says, briskly. “I live on a rock in the sea and my enemies are bored men. There are five more years for me to survive. But I will get by. I have the knack and cunning.” She lifts her face and for a moment she is just a woman in the raw light of morning, not the mind of a household, not the skin stretched over something enduring. “You have helped me, Prince,” she says. “Four months is a season. But seasons pass as all things must.”
Or Aeneas spends four months on Ithaca when his ship needed repairs and befriends Penelope.

Summary
At Ilium High, the rules are different. Legacy matters more than truth, secrets buy power, and silence is the price of survival. An elite school for the wealthy and well-connected, it promises success to those who keep their heads down, and ruin for those who ask questions.
Helen just wants to disappear after what happened at her last school, but her beauty makes her a target all over again.
Diomedes, quiet and fiercely loyal, would rather box than speak, but he's drawn to the girl who won’t let anyone in.
Odysseus is brilliant, insomniac, and unraveling, haunted by a night he barely remembers.
Penelope is determined to be perfect, even as the pressure makes her fall apart.
Clytemnestra is angry, at the school, at her sister, at herself, and not sure who she wants to protect.
Hector is trying to hold everyone together, his siblings, his team, his future, even as everything burns down around him.
Paris wants to be seen.
Cassandra wants to be believed. -

Summary
Oh gods.
No.
No, Penelope had seen someone who looked exactly like him before.
She had to convince herself several times over to give herself the confidence to look at him again because she knew that if she started she would never stop looking and then this poor boy would be offended by her rude stares. But after seeing him and recognizing him, she couldn't not steal another glance.
And so Penelope, with all the confidence in her chest, turned her eyes to look at him again.
It was him.
