In the grand tales of heroes and gods, some voices are destined to be forgotten. "Echoes of Polites" is the untold story of a man whose unwavering loyalty and quiet courage helped shape Odysseus's legendary journey home.
Polites, a steadfast companion and friend, stood by Odysseus through the chaos of Troy, the wrath of vengeful gods, and the unrelenting trials of the sea. Yet his name remains a whisper, lost in the shadow of legends. From the horrors of war to the temptations of Circe's island and the haunting prophecies of the Underworld, this is the story of a man who was more than a follower-he was the heart of the crew, the voice of reason, and the bearer of sacrifices too great to be sung.
"Echoes of Polites" is a poignant reimagining of the Odyssey, weaving themes of loyalty, humanity, and the quiet tragedies of those who walk beside greatness. This is Polites's story-a tale of devotion, loss, and the enduring weight of unspoken bonds.

Deaf Percy Jackson and the Avenger (No Greek Mythology) (DISCONTINUED)
Percy Jackson had almost always been deaf. The reason he was deaf was because one day as Gabe was driving the car they crashed and the glass cut his ear so badly that he couldn't hear. Sometimes Percy thought he could hear something but he pretty much given up. He quickly learned sign language and could read lips easily even if it's in Spanish, Greek, or Latin. He'd given up hope of every hearing, mostly because when Percy read his stepfather's lips it was always trash talk to him. And when he didn't pay attention Gabe would get angry and Percy never liked an angry Gabe it always hurt in the end. After his mother's death Percy became nervous and scared because of his stepfather, afraid of what people said to him. Bullies constantly pushed hims around and he could do nothing about it. Mostly because Gabe wouldn't send him to a special school and most of the people there didn't know sign language. He had zero friends. That changed when one day their teacher was absent and the chemistry substitute was a Doctor Bruce Banner. Also OC Percy Jackson too- he's smart and knows how to use bow and arrow...
