Summary
˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.
Odysseus of Ithaca, his family by his side. A family more loving than the one the gods were born into. And is that not tragic? They are supposed to be more than humans in every way and yet, somehow, this is the part where they’ve failed. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: divine and powerful and above all mortal, ageless and holy and fated to be great. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: a father who struck down his child and her siblings who stood by and did nothing but watch. What does it mean, to be a god? He does not have an answer.
˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.
Faintly, Apollo realises that Athena does not think of her family as she dies – but of a mortal man and his wife and son; of a carved wooden owl and olive trees; of an infant in her arms and bright smiles.
˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.
(or: Gods are complex beings. That does not mean being siblings means nothing- not when their sister is suffering their fathers wrath. It is wrong: they will not stop it. All they can do is collect what's left in the aftermath, and pray that it may heal.)

Bookmark Notes:
Wonderful poetry from all gods pov, Athena dies but resurrected, kind of cliff hanger but a satisfactory ending.
