Ithaca Stories

Born without life, yet spared by divine will - a god took interest and breathed existence into her. But the life she carries is not her own; it still belongs to the heavens.

This is an EPIC: The Musical fanfiction! Here is the blurb: The king of Ithaca has finally returned home after his twenty-year long journey, ready to rebuild his life with the family he nearly lost. But home is not the end of the story - it's the beginning of a new kind of challenge. As Odysseus struggles to relearn peace, reconnect with Penelope, figure out how to be a father to a son who grew up without him, and battle against his own inner turmoil and trauma from his journey, the halls of Ithaca become their own unpredictable battlefield. "Ithacantics" follows the chaos, comedy, and heartache of a hero trying to navigate domestic life, divine interference, overcoming trauma, and the strange art of being human after becoming a legend, while also diving into backstories of well known and loved characters and the life of pre-Odyssey Odysseus. So, come along, old friend. I'm sure you know how this story goes - just not this part.

When the king has been absent 20 years, the kingdom becomes weak. Suitors have overtaken most of the palace and the Prince worries for the women in his life. What happens when Odysseus returns, hardened from the war and torture the Gods inflicted on him? What happens to his family when he finally comes home?

After the Trojan war the king of Ithaca failed to return and after being suspected to be dead suitors rushed to the palace to gain the Queen's hand in marriage but one had a small package his sister. Why did he bring her maybe to show the queen he was a good man but she is here now. She grows up watching her brother and his friends bully and beat the poor prince of Ithaca and believes maybe that's just normal until her brother uses her to use him as a pawn to the throne and she sees the prince in a new light. A story based on the musical Epic by Jorge. WILL CONTAIN HEAVEY TOPICS WITCH ARE MEANTIONED.

Catherine is a teenage girl with typical teenage struggles except for her odd family. For her, she's never known any different. Her father is a man with a secretive past. Her mother is a bohemian hippie who is nothing like her father and is a supermodel with an odd constant need to talk about teenage girl things despite her age of thirty-five. Her brother is perfect in every way. Upon overhearing a rather startling fact about her true identity and her father's past, she decides to embark on a journey to learn more about the mother that she never knew. On the way, she might learn a few things about herself as well.

Achilles, destined for legend, and Patroclus, an exile seeking belonging-whose lives become intertwined in a friendship that will shape their fates forever.

On a small Island in the Ocean before Greece, there lives a girl striving to find happiness, but what even is that? With time she'll realize that the emptiness inside of her is not happiness, it's.. nothing; she'll realize that happiness has always been by her side, in form of the Prince of the Island, Telemachus. Will she realize it before her parents manage to marry her off? Or will she end it all with a jump in the endless blue..

Some of my old English, and maybe a touch of new. Meant for those who aren't afraid to walk again amongst their overgrown trails. Always a work in progress.

A compilation of university essays made the night before the due date.

Odysseus told me I wasn't allowed to leave the ship, to not set foot on the lands of the Underworld, but I couldn't help it. It was just laying there, glistening under the light of the glowing souls, and it seemed to be calling my name. "I'll be right back," I mumbled to no one in particular, before climbing out of the ship onto the cold plateau. Every step I took closer to it, its pull became stronger. I reached for it, my fingertips nearly touching the cold metal hilt of the glowing sword, when a vaguely familiar voice called my name. -=~=- She knew that sneaking onto a ship of the king's fleet was as dangerous as a mere mortal challenging Zeus to a battle. But she longed for adventure, dreamt of a life where she could waltz with death, hoped to one day feel alive. But then the crew found her, and the moment the captain laid eyes upon her, she knew her life had changed forever.
