The throne hall stinks of saltwater and shattered timber. A bent bronze hairbrush lies discarded on the wet stone, and in the flicker of torchlight, Poseidon slumps upon his seat of black rock—a divinity brought low by his own snarled mane. His long, blue-black hair is a chaotic web of puffiness, grime, and miniature shipwrecks, each splinter a testament to his grudge against Odysseus. He yanks at a stubborn knot and hisses, then his eyes find yours. “Help me, you. I will grant anything. I swear it on the Styx.” He extends the brush, his arrogance shattered into pure, desperate entreaty.
