Summary
Again and again, even though we know love’s landscape
and the little churchyard with its lamenting names
and the terrible reticent gorge in which the others
end: again and again the two of us walk out together
under the ancient trees, lay ourselves down again and again
among the flowers, and look up into the sky.- Rainer Maria Rilke.
/
Odysseus and Penelope meet and fall in love. He goes to war. And, twenty years later, it happens all over again.

Summary
The walls. They are so tall, with mist shrouding the bottoms, and the night is so deep. The clamour rising out of the city behind him would cover any noise - all he has to do is relax his grip, and he avoids offending the gods and cuts off a threat to his family before it can grow. He wouldn’t even hear a cry or the sound of it hitting the rocks below.
His stomach twists, and he blinks liquid that isn’t rain from his eyes.
“Forgive me, O Chronodes,” he says, bowing, mind racing, “but if neither myself nor my good son can defend our home adequately by the time this boy is old enough to challenge us, then may Ithaca burn, and us with it.”
___
Odysseus can't bring himself to kill Hector's son.

Summary
'“If I may ask,” he begins, scrubbing dirt from his arms, “Who am I meeting?”
Lady Athena does not answer right away, which comes as no surprise. She doesn't always entertain his questions, especially if they aren't battle related, so when she doesn't respond after long enough, he assumes she won't answer at all.
“Another of my favoured.”'
———
Or; Athena decides it would be a good idea to introduce Diomedes and Odysseus, since they'll be fighting a war together. Little does she know this is going to kickstart the worst situationship she could've possibly had to deal with.
