Epic Athena - Blog Posts

"One act of kindness could lead to kinder souls down the road" isn't about Odysseus.

It's about Athena.

ARES AND ATHENA ARE DONE! Athena’s design was very hard… but I like the idea that she has like blue theme patters and Ares just red! But I do hope that y’all like it! (Yes, they have hair, it just doesn’t show because of the helmets)

War gods sibling! 🦉⚔️🧠🏛️ ⚔️🩸🛡️🏛️

ATHENA’S OUTFIT! (Oh god… she was so difficult to draw T^T)

Athena isn’t having it today… lol

Planning on drawing Hera next but who should I draw after Hera?

If it others (Greek gods) then you can reblog and tell!😌

EPIC Thoughts with Sunny Pt.2:

Athena most likely feels guilty for the fact that, if she would've forced Odysseus to kill the cyclops, the rest of the men wouldn't have died. While also having the idea that she could've prevented everything that had gotten men killed, but she just didn't.

After Odysseus left, I would like to think Circe had a real burial for Elpenor, if I'm correct, he died, right? Only to be as a second will of good faith, and also a way to show she wasn't an actual full monster.

Despite only interfering whenever Odysseus was at his lowest, Hermes most likely still kept the closest of eyes on him, and his family. Even if he couldn't always do something to help, like when Odysseus was on Calypso's Island, he always made sure they were okay. I also imagine, when Ody got home, Hermes would visit the Underworld to talk to Polites, Eurylochus, his mother, the crew, and any other lost soldiers from the Trojan War, just to visit Odysseus and tell him and his family all about the happenings below. Always offering to take one of them to the Underworld so they could talk to anyone they wanted.

LITTLE BABY TELEPORTATION REACHING FOR ATHENA'S HAND I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS NOW😭😭😭😭😭😭

EPIC: The After Story... | Chapter 1: She's Back!

*Ithaca was back to normal... The suitors, gone. Odysseus, home. Telemachus, and Penelope, happy... It was mostly calm now... Besides the fact that Odysseus had brought back the child of Prince Hector, from Troy... Yet, the kid wasn't all that bad, to be honest.*

*Today, Astyanax's and Telemachus' sister, Kaliza, was coming back from a few years trip she had went on. She had been gone for two years...*

*So, at about 8:00 A.M, when the sun was rising distantly on the horizon, Telemachus went to wake his parents from their sleep.*

"MOM! DADDD!"

*He shouted, as he kicked open the door.*

*Both of them jerked awake, Penelope hugging Odysseus for a moment, before relaxing. Ody sighed, and spoke,*

"Yes, son?"

"Kaliza's coming home today, remember?!"

*Telemachus was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement.*

"Relax, Telemachus, we know,"

*Penelope laughed, softly, amused.*

"Now, I'll get your brother... You and your father should go to the docks and wait, we'll be down soon."

*Telemachus nodded, and raced out of the room.*

*Odysseus let out a short chuckle, and gave his wife a quick kiss on the cheek. Before slowly getting up, and following after his son. Much slower, and more calm.*

||—————————||

[POV: Penelope]

*I watched, and smiled, before I stood up myself. Firstly getting dressed in a much more appropriate outfit, and brushing my hair. Then exiting into the halls of our palace.*

*I waved to a few servants, said a couple of "hellos", until reaching Astyanax's room. I opened the door, and saw the boy asleep, curled up under a blanket.*

*I walked over, and softly whispered,*

"Wake up, sleepyhead."

*Astyanax opened his eyes, slowly, letting out a tired groan... He turned over, onto his back, and instantly woke up more when he saw his "mother".*

"Mom!"

*He exclaimed, happily, and leaned himself up.*

"There's my little sunshine,"

*I said, as I hugged him, before pulling away. I then said,*

"Your sister's coming home today!"

"I have a sister?..."

*The young ten year old questioned, in confusion...*

*Kaliza had been gone at the time, when a Odysseus had returned. So, she hasn't even really met her father... Nor her other adopted brother.*

*I nodded, with a small laugh,*

"Yes, yes you do! You get to meet her today."

"Yay!"

*Astyanax cheered, with an excited giggle.*

"That's the spirit, my sunshine... Let's get you dressed, and we'll head down to the shore,"

*I said, before looking for some daily clothes for him.*

||—————————||

[POV: Telemachus]

*I had a skip in my step, as I walked beside my father. We were walking on the sandy pavement of the city itself, taking the path to the beaches.*

*I heard my father speak, after moments of silence,*

"What's she like? I've never even met her, so... I'm just wondering how I need to act..."

*I looked at him, thinking a while, as I stared. Before answering,*

"She's tough, and most of the time serious-... That about sums her up?..."

"That doesn't give me much, but, I'll take it..."

*My father sighed, as he and I continued to walk.*

*We eventually reached the sea, quite a few people were gathered there. One being Lily, whom was a servant of ours, and the best friend of my sister. Her husband, Ereu, stood next to her.*

*In the distance, though, someone caught both me, and our father's eyes. Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, me and my sister's mentor, stood far off.*

*She seemed to notice us, and gave a nod. A small smile on her face, as her scar shown in the faint sunlight.*

*I nodded back, and my father gave a bow, before leaning back up straight. I laughed, softly, at how messy and quick the bow was.*

"What-?"

*My father asked, raising an eyebrow.*

"Nothing, nothing-!"

*I couldn't help but grin, as I saw him roll his eyes.*

*I then heard footsteps behind us, and turned. Seeing my mother, and little brother, coming down the path. My father went to meet them halfway, as I continued to watch the water.*

||—————————||

[POV: Odysseus]

*I took my wife's hand, and helped her down the trail the rest of the way. I then stopped, next to Telemachus, and looked out across the water.*

*After a moment, I felt a tug on my cape, and I looked down at Astyanax, who had pulled it.*

"Dad?..."

*He whispered, looking at me with wide, slightly nervous, eyes.*

"Yes, son?"

*I asked, confused, but also concerned.*

"What do I do-?... What do I say-?"

*He questioned, starting to shake uneasily...*

*I chuckled, gently, before crouching infront of him. I placed a hand on his shoulder, and said,*

"Astyanax... Just be you... You'll be the best little brother to her in the world!"

*Astyanax nodded... Looking more reassured... He clinged onto me, and I stood up straight again. I placed a hand on his head, rubbing his head, to calm him more.*

*I suddenly heard Telemachus call out, while jumping up and down,*

"A ship! A ship! I see a ship!!"

*We all looked back towards the water, and, sure enough... There was a ship in the distance... Not far from shore. It was coming straight towards Ithaca, and a figure stood at the head of it. Someone who looked like...*

Kaliza.

Kaliza, my OC, what if Telemachus had a younger sister.

*Miara stood, pulling a string from the shroud she was undoing... She sighed to herself... She had to keep doing this... This is the only thing that could keep them at bay...*

*She knew it wouldn't last forever, though... That was the problem... She was afraid of when that would come... She feared for Telemachus' life terribly... More than her own...*

*Yet, what would her friends do if she never saw them again...? She had just got them back, not long ago... Even if times worked so much different between both universes...*

*A glow of blue slowly surrounded her, and someone placed a hand on her shoulder... Miara recognized the touch, and she turned.*

*Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, stood to her side. Her eyes-... Eye... Softly staring for a moment, before she spoke, in a quiet tone,*

"Miara... My student..."

*Miara stared for a solid few seconds, as her eyes slowly teared up... Her voice was strained, as she spoke as well,*

"A-Athena..."

*She suddenly hugged the Goddess... Something she hadn't felt in so many years... 10, in total...*

*Athena froze... She wasn't used to this. Sure, she got occasional hugs from her brothers, and sister-in-law... Even her mother and father, sometimes... Yet, not too often.*

*Though, she carefully wrapped her arms around the mortal... Feeling tears wetting her more fabric pieces of armour...*

"Miara... I've missed you..."

"I-... I've missed you too... Athena..."

(HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DEAR FRIEND, CAPTAIN, FATHER OF EPIC, GUMPUS MCGEE, ODYSSEUS!!! JORGE RIVERA-HERRANS!)

Tiresias: "Are you sure?..."

Hermes: "Don't thank me, friend! I'm not the one who fought for you!"

Odysseus: "Who-?"

Athena: "... No. I most DEFINITELY see what you mean ..."

*a few months after The Ithica Saga*

Odysseus: *wakes up at the dead of night drenched in cold sweat*

Penelope: Love? What's wrong?

Odysseus: That prophet son of a bitch- IT WAS ME!

Penelope: What??

Odysseus: I WAS THE MAN WHO WAS HAUNTING ALL ALONG!!

Penelope: *pulling him down and hugging him* ok dear just go back to sleep.

*meanwhile in the Underworld*

Tiresias: Fucking finally that dumbass

My life has one mission, create the greatest warrior

Odysseus and Athena.

My friends and I made a God Games animatic!!! You should definitely watch it when it premieres on saturday >:)

Okay, so the results are in!

Even though the majority picked Athena, I decided to do both! Hermes and Athena are Ody’s chibi animal sidekicks!

Athena is an owl while Hermes is an Hawk. They both pretend to be Ody’s pets.

Athena helps Ody with his magical girl and school responsibilities, but does put a lot of pressure on him. Hermes encourages Ody to live a little despite his responsibilities, however; he also encourages Ody to make pretty dumb decisions.

Gonna make an epic magical girl au where Odysseus is a magical girl (or in other words, boy) in his high school and teenage years. (It’s a wip atm.)

ok but the way Odysseus falls into each of the main Olympian’s domains?

Zeus (God King): King of Ithaca

Hera (Goddess of Marriage): c’mon, Odysseus is THE Wife Guy

Athena: Warriors of the Mind/her chosen champion

Ares: courage and valor needed for success in war; additionally after his transition into The Monster, he becomes brutal and arguably lost in bloodlust when dealing with the sirens/suitors/POSEIDON

Apollo/Artemis: Archery

Aphrodite: man is motivated only by love

Hephaestus: Odysseus built his own damn raft to leave Ogygia/built his palace

Demeter (who also has domain over marriage): see Hera

Poseidon (Sea God): Sailor/Captain (also ruthlessness, eventually)

Hades: "600 men who died under your command"; sailed through the Underworld

Hestia (Goddess of the Hearth): Man who wants nothing more than to get home

Hermes (God of Travelers): man’s been traveling for 10 years; also Odysseus is his great grandson

not to mention their actual interactions

I'm just saying

I need someone to draw this:

Odysseus, covered in blood, ragged and looks like death warmed over: *wearing a sash that says “most valid crashout” across it with Hermes/Athena bestowing a pageant crown upon him*

Optional skewered Poseidon in the background

Me and my partner were talking about this the other day, and personally I like the idea of Joel - Odysseyus, Lizzie - Penelope, Jimmy - Telemachus, Circe - Etho, and Gem - Athena. Other ideas work too, but yeah, Grian as Hermes

Grian gives me Hermes vibes idk how to explain they're just like the same idk
