The Fate Of Ithaca

Ithaca, once a pinnacle of society, and one of the leaders in military advancements, arts, and education, now is only known as the place that once was, ever since the change in rulers on the island.

The day that Odysseia left was remembered in history books as the beginning of the fall. No one knows whatever happened to her, or her crew, but her legacy lives far beyond the ocean that no doubt swallowed her whole on her journey home.

Rather than focusing on advancements, misogyny and the law of nature are the only laws that matter on the island. Those with power survive and thrive, and those without are left to starve on the streets like vermin.

Sex, a natural and once private affair, has been made a prime staple of the community. Women are seen as lesser beings to their male counterparts, and their only role in society is to provide their lovers with full stomachs, and empty balls, for all of eternity.

This idea stretches even to the palace. Penelope, the former Queen and wife of Odysseia, now has only the title to show any form of regality. She is regularly seen in brothel houses, and orgies as commanded by the new king of Ithaca - Antinous.

Antinous regulaely schedules his own sex parties as well, as he commands every house maid and palace worker to join him and his wife in their bedroom almost weekly. At first they found the affair quite odd, but as years went by it had become the daily routine.

Queen Penelope has joined the ranks of her lower class workers, as she too is only seen as a fuck-toy for her new King. She has begun to embrace her role, and even looks forward to worshipping her king in any way he may seem fit.

Telemacha has also found her role in society. While being excommunicated from the palace after continuous attempts to overthrow Antinous, she now lives at the local whore-house, and still regularly sees the King as he visits her every weekend. She begs for her old bed back in the palace, but every day he refuses as he unloads another load inside of her.

At first the story of Odysseia remained as a cautionary tale against bravery. Antinous used it as a way to scare the island’s people into not overthrowing him, claiming it was Odysseia’s bravery and lack of ability that got her killed. They remained docile, and compliant, as a hope to not fall into the same traps as their former brave ruler.

However, as the years went by the narrative surrounding Odysseia had changed once again. Queen Penelope had opened up about their life together, at the decree of King Antinous. She revealed Odysseia’s faults, claiming her to be a traitor, and nothing but a slut for any man who approached her. These stories beseeched the name Odysseia, and made the people of Ithaca turn against the former royal family in favor of Antinous.

With Telemacha gone and Penelope all but cast aside Antinous had decided to take another “bride” to be his lover, and face of Ithaca. Melontha, Penelope’s former right hand, has finally gotten her dream of being royalty, and the true Queen of Ithaca. However, the title comes with the price that comes to whoever is in Antinous focused gaze.

She became rich, powerful, and to the eyes of the people successful. However, behind closed doors she has become addicted, free use to not only the King, but all of his friends that still reside in the halls of the palace. While still above the former Queen Penelope, her life is not at all what she wished it to be as Queen.

The Gods have all but turned their back on Ithaca… all except Aphrodite. As a safe haven for lust and debauchery she had decided to make Ithaca her den of worship. To be closest to the Goddess one must make a pilgrimage to Ithaca, find her temple, and pray to her as the moans of the locals can be heard in the background.

While most men are able to make this trek with ease, the women who attempt it are not as fortunate. King Antinous has decreed that all immigrating women must be processed before they may enter the country and continue to Aphrodites temple. Most of these women are never heard from again, but the lucky few can be found later dancing at a local tavern, or in the same brothel as Telemacha.

The island of Ithaca has become a wasteland in the eyes of the world. What was once one of the most beautiful, fruitful, and advanced civilizations thanks to Odysseia has become nothing more than a blemish on most maps that no other nation will address.

While no more wars fall upon the country, neither do traders, workers, or suppliers. Ithaca is now completely independent, and such completely on their own. This has lead to dilapidation in infrastructure, economy, and a food shortage. If there were any competent advisor left they would tell Antinous that everyone and everything on the island would probably die in the next five years. Unfortunately, the former advisor is currently giving blowjobs for enough coin to pay for her home.

Penelope has become blissfully unaware of her situation, electing to stay hopelessly in love with her islands captor, despite her horrible conditions she has been given. She lives for the days she gets to see him, and is in blissful heaven when she is once again invited into his bedroom.

Telemacha has given up any hope of escape or retribution from her new life. She has instead become her brothels top seller, being enjoyed and used by just about every man on the island, as well as some women. Her confidence she once had has become nonexistent, as she is now a timid, shy, submissive woman, whose heart aches for the future that could have been. Sometimes she wonders what went wrong, and other times she does not have the heart to care.

The name Odysseia is a cursed one on the isle of Ithaca. On a good day for the royal family, or what is left of it, she is a thorn in their side, a failed savior who let their world burn. On any other day she is a forgotten memory, and a cautionary tale as to why one must never be brave.

Remain cowardly. Remain submissive. A happy person is one who follows orders. A successful woman is one who can satisfy as many sexual partners as possible without complaints. This is law. This is order. And remember one thing.

All Hail King Antinous!
