Dying as the infamous villain of Ithaca, Antinous realized far too late that he was never after the throne. What he truly wanted was the prince, Telemachus. Given a second chance by the god of time, Chronos, he was sent back to the year he was only eight. Determined to change his fate and carve a better path for the boy he once failed, Antinous also set out to rewrite the destiny of the one man who changed everything: Odysseus. But redemption was never simple. As the gods watched and the threads of fate twisted and burned, he had to choose who he would become, this time with the world watching.

The royal family-Odysseus, Penelope, and their son Telemachus-step into a new life, one no longer defined by war or waiting. But fate, as always, has other plans. Y/N, a strong-willed young noblewoman, is being forced into marriage with a man she does not love-a stranger who won't take no for an answer.

As Telemachus and Y/N fall hard and fast, gods take notice. Hermes grins like a brother. Athena approves like a guardian.

Echoes of Ithaca
"You must behave," her brother warned, "or you'll ruin everything." Dragged to Ithaca by her cruel brother Antinous, Y/N is forced to live among the suitors vying for Queen Penelope's hand. Unseen, unheard, and constantly hurt, she survives in silence-until a quiet act of kindness begins to unravel the chains around her heart. In the shadows of the great halls, a bond begins to form between Y/N and Telemachus, the prince of Ithaca-one built not on grand speeches, but on soft glances and secret conversations. With the guidance of Penelope and the silent watch of Athena, Y/N finds strength. Yet bruises still bloom, and secrets still fester in the corners of the palace. But when a single moment of violence shatters the lies holding everything together, love and fury ignite in equal measure. And as Telemachus sets out across the sea to find his father, Y/N is left to protect the queen-and herself-from the growing threat within. When Odysseus finally returns, blood will be spilled, truths revealed, and a new kind of family will rise from the ashes of betrayal. This is the story of a girl who was meant to stay quiet-and the prince who heard her anyway.Complete
The heart of Ithaca
A Tale of Love, Loyalty, and Legacy For as long as they can remember, Y/N and Prince Telemachus have been inseparable. Through childhood adventures, whispered dreams, and the looming shadow of Odysseus' absence, they have always found solace in each other. But Ithaca is a kingdom under siege-not by war, but by the ruthless suitors vying for Queen Penelope's hand. As Telemachus struggles to prove himself worthy of his father's name, Y/N stands by his side, offering strength when he falters and courage when he doubts. She is his anchor, his protector, his heart. Yet, as the tides of fate shift, their bond is tested in ways neither expected. When Telemachus leaves in search of answers and returns a changed man, unspoken feelings threaten to unravel everything they have built. And when Ithaca's throne is finally reclaimed, they must decide-will they remain as they always were, or will they take the leap into something more? With Penelope watching from the sidelines-secretly their biggest supporter-their journey is one of love forged in hardship, devotion that defies expectation, and a future written in the stars. This is the story of Telemachus and Y/N. The story of two hearts, bound by fate, finding their way home.Complete
Threads of Ithaca
"When Myth Falls Into the Modern World, Love Is the Bridge That Endures Time." After years of war and peace, Telemachus, son of Odysseus and prince of Ithaca, finds himself ripped from his ancient world and cast into the chaos of the modern age-alone, lost, and unseen. As he stumbles through towering cities, strange customs, and glowing machines, he feels more like a ghost than a hero. Until he sees her. Y/N, a high school girl just trying to survive her own battles, is caught in the grip of cruelty when a group of boys corner her outside school. When Telemachus steps in, a single moment sparks a connection that neither time nor fate could have prepared them for. Thrown together by chance, they find healing in each other-sharing laughter, kisses under moonlight, and building a life in the unlikeliest of places. But love, like destiny, has its own course. When a portal back to Ithaca opens, Telemachus must choose between two worlds. Yet he does not choose alone. Now with Y/N carrying their unborn child, they return to the land of gods and kings, where family, loyalty, and honor await-and not all welcome them with open arms. But one thing is certain: This is no longer the story of a prince lost in time. This is the story of a legend reborn-for love, for family, for a future he never dreamed possible.Complete

The Veil Of Ithaca
In a world where power is won through blood and betrayal, a forgotten princess is given an impossible choice. Y/N has spent her life in the shadows of a small, overlooked kingdom-trained to be strong but never destined to rule. But when a secret letter arrives from Ithaca's desperate queen, everything changes. A marriage. A hidden alliance. A boy-king drowning beneath the weight of his father's absence. With Ithaca on the verge of collapse, Y/N is thrust into a world of danger and deception, where suitors feast on the ruins of a once-great kingdom, and whispers of war grow louder by the day. She was never meant to be a queen, but if she plays her role well enough, she might just survive long enough to become one. Yet Telemachus is not the cold, broken prince she expected. And as tensions rise and secrets unravel, Y/N begins to realize that in this game of gods and kings, the greatest threat may not come from the suitors at Ithaca's door-but from the heart she never meant to lose.Complete
Hold Him Close
Antinous wasn't a good person. He knew that. He never considered himself a righteous or moral person. He was selfish, barbaric, and perhaps even vain. He knew. But in a man eats man world, could anyone truly blame him? He wasn't a good person. But perhaps he'd have to become one. Simply for the sake of staying alive. See, recently, the Gods have been sending him dreams. Dreams of blood dripping onto castle floors from freshly lopped off heads rolling on the tiles. Dreams of Ithaca's old King staring at him from afar, and angry red eyes shifting across the room, searching for his next prey. Dreams of a tightly wound bow, one that only Odysseus could wield, lodging a sharp arrow into his throat. Dreams like that. Also, on an unrelated note, why the hell was everyone randomly breaking out into song? Author wrote this bc he was tired of the lack of healthy Antimachus fics...Complete
