I always knew there were long-lost other 'epics' written around the Iliad and Odyssey but I didn't know one of them had Odysseus' long-lost son by Circe showing up and promptly killing dad. Only to come over all woeful when he found out who it was, so much so that he takes Penelope and his half-brother Telemachus back to Circe's island where he marries Penelope (his late father's widow) and Telemachus marries Circe (the mother of his half-brother and his father's former lover.) And they all live happily and immortally ever after in their-not-quite-incestuous-but-certainly-screwed-up little family.

That's like, *the most insane fanfiction ever*.

It did apparently, under the name of the Telegonia, written about 568 BC. Which just goes to show that insane fanficcers were around even two and a half thousand years ago. ^__^

Damn. Apparently, fanfic didn't start in this century (or rather the last technically).

Nope. The ancient Greeks were way ahead of us. In the slash too. *adores them*
