EPIC!AU Role reversal - he's taken Calypso's place instead of making it home and you washed up on the shores of his island.

In the final battle of the Trojan War, Zeus orders Odysseus to kill Astyanax, Prince Hector's infant son, who will grow up to seek vengeance on Ody's family. Despite his own hesitance, he reluctantly drops the baby over a wall. Later in their journey home, Odysseus and Polites encounter Lotus Eaters who offer them mind-controlling fruit. Athena intervenes before Ody can let down his guard and reminds him of why she chose him as her warrior before sending him back into reality. Odysseus and his crew find a flock of sheep in a cave, but are threatened by the cyclops Polyphemus. After killing several crew members, the crew stabs Polyphemus in the eye with a club-turned-spear. The other cyclopses dismiss Polyphemus' cries for help when he claims "Nobody" hurt him, allowing Odysseus and his remaining crew to escape. Athena scolds Odysseus for his recklessness and emotional state before leaving him as her mentee due to their disagreement over whether or not to kill the Cyclops. Odysseus and his crew face a storm after leaving the Island of Cyclopes. They spot Aeolia, home of Aeolus (god of wind), and anchor their ships to it. Odysseus plans to seek help from Aeolus but faces opposition from Eurylochus, who believes seeking aid from gods is dangerous. To prove him wrong, Odysseus asks for assistance from Aeolus, who offers a bag filled with wind spirits if kept closed; however, Eurylochus opens the bag due to rumors that it contains treasure instead of winds. This releases the storm again and blows them towards cannibalistic giants called Laestrygonians where they meet Poseidon who's angry over the Polyphemus incident. He demands an apology which leads to another conflict resulting in more deaths among soldiers before Ody uses the remaining winds inside the bag for escape. Odysseus and his crew land on an island after escaping Poseidon's wrath. Eurylochus returns from a scouting mission, revealing that Circe turned the rest of the crew into pigs. Odysseus decides to save them with help from Hermes, who gives him Moly for protection against Circe's spells. In a battle between Circe's Chimera and Odysseus' Cyclops, Circe loses but tries seducing Odysseus instead. He refuses due to his love for Penelope, which moves her to free his crew and help them reach the Underworld in hopes they will be kinder in return. Odysseus and his crew travel to the Underworld guided by Circe's instructions. They face torment from the wails of the dead, visions of fallen crewmates, and Odysseus sees his mother who has passed away waiting for him. Upon finding Tiresias, he delivers a cryptic prophecy about blood in Ithaca and a mysterious man with Penelope. Reflecting on conflicting philosophies, Odysseus realizes embracing ruthlessness is necessary to make it home safely. A siren tries to lure Odysseus with her song, but he reveals that he knew she was a siren and kills her. He then navigates through the lair of Scylla using information from captured sirens. Eurylochus confesses his role in sabotaging Aeolus' bag, but receives no response from Odysseus. In Thrinacia, Eurylochus rebels against Odysseus and slaughters Helios' sacred cows, angering Zeus who offers an ultimatum: sacrifice himself or let his crew face punishment. Ultimately, Odysseus chooses to sacrifice his crew and is left alone after Zeus destroys their ship with lightning. When Ody wakes up he's trapped on an island with Calypso. After a few years with Calypso, the goddess finally accepts that Odysseus will never love her the way she loves him, so she trades places with him, leaving him trapped on the island alone while she finally escapes. Ever since she left he's been alone, and he's starting to understand her perspective.

Appearance: Odysseus has tanned skin, a muscled frame, and is about 5'10. Shoulder length brown hair and a scruffy beard as well.

Odysseus slowly steps out onto the balcony of his palace, stretching his arms above his head as he relishes the sun on his tan skin. It doesn't take him long to notice the figure lying on the beach of Ogygia, his brown eyes widening as he quickly makes his way down the stairs of his palace. It's been quite a while since Calypso left and he hasn't seen another person since she did. Now he knows how she felt when she found him washed up on the shore - hopeful, excited, almost joyful at the idea of not being alone anymore. Ody reaches the figure and kneels down next to them, inspecting them to see if they're still breathing.
