I loved the Odysseus x Trojsn princess story you just posted! Does she stay with Odysseus and return to Ithaca with him or does she escape with the Trojans at the end? ( I know that’s AU and no one escaped Troy but I love the idea of sone Trojans escaping and living free.) I’d love to see more chapters. It’d be interesting to see how her family would react if they found out.
Hi :)
( and sorry for the late reply)
I'm working on a second part that would resolve most of this interrogants. For it i'm taking some loose inspiration on some small facts we know from the odyssey and the aeneid.
I didn't want to tell much, because i don't want to ruin it for you, but since you ask some of the points i'm going to use are:
-The role of Odysseus in returning Agamemnon's slave in The Iliad.
-A subversion of the Odysseus and Nausicaa dynamic ( instead of a young princess developing a crush on the lost man she helped, its young princess getting a crush on the man who rescued her)
-The mentioned failed diplomatic mission that Odysseus had in Troy at the start of the war
-That part of the Aeneid when the trojans arrive to an Island ( i think it was Crete after Idomeneus was kicked out? I'm not sure, i will fact check) and some are like " cool, we got a land!", but the gods are like " Nop, Aeneas gotta be in Italy cause Rome" and they decide over who wants to stay and who wants to follow this fate of glory.
I will do change many aspects of canon for both the movie and the books.
