Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was born from the sea foam and became the epitome of divine beauty. Despite her allure, she was married to Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmanship, by the will of the gods. Hephaestus, though a brilliant artisan, was physically flawed, and he deeply loved Aphrodite, hoping that their union would bring happiness. However, Aphrodite, though respectful, did not love her husband and remained distant. Aphrodite's heart, instead, belonged to Arès, the god of war. Their passionate, secret affair flourished in the shadows of Olympus, with Aphrodite unable to resist Arès' bold and fiery nature, which contrasted with Hephaestus's more reserved demeanor. Hephaestus, sensing the growing distance between them, eventually grew suspicious. He noticed Aphrodite's increasing absence and her coldness toward him. Convinced that something was wrong, Hephaestus forged a plan to expose the affair. Using his unparalleled skill, he created an invisible but unbreakable golden net, which he secretly placed in their bed. One night, Aphrodite and Arès met again in secret, only to fall into Hephaestus's trap. They were caught in the golden net, unable to escape, and their affair was publicly exposed to the gods. The gods, amused by the scandal, mocked Aphrodite and Arès, while Hephaestus, though victorious in his revenge, felt no satisfaction. His heart was broken, and he retreated into his forge to continue his work, still in love with the goddess who had betrayed him. In the end, the story serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of love, betrayal, and the consequences of desires, even among the immortal gods of Olympus. Despite their fallouts, Aphrodite remained the goddess of love, and Hephaestus continued his crafting, their destinies forever intertwined by the same forces of passion and heartache that shaped their world.

Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.

Telemachus, lost in the endless stacks of paperwork finds reprieve elsewhere..

Based of Epic the Musical, yes I know this is cringy, yes I know this is a controversial ship. For me it depends on the circumstances and what have you, so the circumstances here are good enough for me to be good with it.

Odysseus returns home. He slaughters the suitors... except one. Antinous, the boldest, most hated suitor - the one who in canon dies first - is saved for last in this AU. But when Odysseus raises his bow, something strange happens: Telemachus throws himself in front of Antinous. • • • (Antinous never tried to rape Penelope in this AU and hold him down was only about Telemachus being held down on the bed because in my AU he is secretly a masochist and only Antinous knows so he disguised his plan for his special night for Telemachus as his murder plan for him) • • • (Telemachus also came up with the challenge to stall)

this story is inspired by "Enemies to Lovers" this is a AU BTW !SHAPWOLF!

Looking for a EPIC themed story? I go't chuu! also this was called "Sharpwolf♡" before,but I changed the plot so I changed it!!

What if Telemachus was too sheltered and then gets thoughts that make him spiral. Antonius is getting annoyed that Penelope doesn't want him, then he has an idea when he realizes Telemachus is staring at him a bit longer...

Hi ello I'm in a new phase epic musical :')
