    Summary

    Athena smiled and removed her helmet, placing it and her spear against the wood. "Hello, Telemachus. Do you know who I am?"

    He studied her, a little shy at first. After a minute of silence, he took courage. "Athena? The goddess of wisdom?"

    "Exactly." She sat right next to him.

    ***

    He had stepped away, and Polites had looked away for a moment. When he looked at him again, Odysseus looked...
    "Aren't you tired, Polites? Of this."

    "Of being rejected?" he asked.

    Odysseus nodded.

    "Yes. I never know how you'll react, and once upon a time, everyone knew how you reacted to me. But there are no other options."

    Eurylochus had told him to leave him behind. Eurylochus was stronger than him: Polites couldn't do it. Polites didn't want to go any further, he didn't want to lose anyone.

    ***
    They've entered where even the gods don't dare. And now they must figure out how to get out.

    Also: the story in which the past comes to take its toll.

    Summary

    In the shadows of war and duty, quiet bonds are hidden from prying eyes—some tender, some painful, and some worth breaking the rules for. This is the story of a forbidden love between Prince Hector of Troy and Queen Odysseus of Ithaca, how it all started and what the war will force them to do.

    Summary

    Helen sighs, “Let me understand this. You two have had sex. I've made out with him and we've been together for almost a year.”

    “Helen–” Menelaus says it like it's a warning. But he doesn't finish his sentence. His fingers finally grip the glass of drink in front of him and he takes a slow sip. He realises that, yeah, there aren't really any strong objections to the preposition.


    A single texting mishap and suddenly Paris is caught between Helen and Menelaus and their imploding relationship. Helen thinks bringing in Paris can fix them. Menelaus is against it...until he isn't.

    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.

    Summary

    "I killed Tantalus. The man, the damned beast of a man who started this curse, fed his own child to a goddess while she sat back on this very same chair... I killed him. In proxy. In effigy."
    "You fool," I say. My Tantalus was not the same man as the patriarch of Agamemnon's family who haunted everything Agamemnon did. No. My Tantalus was barely twenty, and had a life of heroism ahead of him before Agamemnon stole it away. Horrible man. Breaker of the curse; breaker of me also. Making me a collateral of his curse.

     

    Clytemnestra tries to make sense of her and her sister's marriages to the sons of Atreus.
    Featuring Helen using ancient psychedelics, Agamemnon being in deep denial, and Clytemnestra being an extremely unreliable narrator.
