Summary
“I have another boy at home,” the wistful king murmured, his words leaving his lips with the burdensome weight of memory. “Much older than you by now… the last I saw him, he wasn’t yet half your size. But he lives very far from here, on another isle across the sea.”
His own eyes stared back at him, unreactive to his words. His son was just an infant, but Odysseus realized that even if he were of rational age, he couldn’t possibly understand what he was saying. The child didn't know what existed beyond the idyllic, gilded shores of Ogygia. He didn't know of smiling people, and kingdoms, and war. The glittering isle had consumed the entirety of his life. Odysseus felt his grip around him tighten.
“You won't die on these shores, boy of mine. I swear it on my life.”
-

Summary
“I hear you’re cursed,” Poseidon says, and Odysseus is relieved that he didn’t have to be the one to start this conversation.
“I am,” he supplies with a nod.
“And what kind of curse did the titaness manage to wrap you up in?” He sounds bored. He probably is, but any good head of house would make sure his new prisoner isn’t spreading something that’s contagious.
Odysseus steels himself. “It’s a punishment for avoiding sex,” he explains, miraculously concise.
“What?” The room shakes.
---
In which Polyphemus doesn't fall in front of the cave entrance, and thus Odysseus doesn't have to blind him. He never evokes Poseidon's ire.
Odysseus still has the worst luck in all of ancient Greece, however, and winds up on Ogygia for six years anyway.
So, when the king of Ithaca is injured falling through Charybdis' teeth, Poseidon has no reason not to assist. Zeus' gentle persuasion helps, too.
