Ares: Your Boy Odysseus Hides Inside A Wooden Horse To Get The Job Done! Never Handles Things Up Front!

I’m reblogging so my tumblr can become cool too! Also also:

Poseidon when Odysseus exists:

A couple of months ago I let my little sister listen to Epic after showing her some fanarts on Tumblr, she became addicted to the musical even though she didn’t understand a word (English is not our first language (we’re Italian) and she’s pretty young too).

She says she watched animatics to understand better what was going on and she asked me to translate some of the more difficult parts.

Today I let her listen to the Vengeance saga (after I understood the lyrics in order to be able to translate to her everything) and we had lots of fun.

Just a while ago she gave me this drawing saying to post it on Tumblr to give fanarts back to the fans and so that my Tumblr becomes “Cool”.

I’m kinda crying from happiness about this, I’m so happy I got her excited about something I love too and it (positively) melts my heart to see her putting so much work into making something for the media we both love

So thank you Jorge and thanks to all the crew for making Epic, you guys really made us two bond and spend lots of good time together when we used to not talk much or even see each other.

Are we going to talk about how in Dangerous Jorge perfectly captures Odysseus’s feeling of utter loneliness with his thematic reprisal of Full Speed Ahead? Are we going to talk about the pause after ‘Cause I had one goal in mind’ where you as the listener automatically supply: ‘make it back alive to our homeland’? Only the men singing that line didn’t make it back alive so are we going to talk about that or are we going to choose not to be sad today?

Lotus-eaters were like "ugh, these damn tourists again. Send 'em to the cave, lmao"

I was wondering if maybe the sirens can only change to look like people who are around the same age as them (yes I’m still obsessed with the thunder saga, I promise I’ll write about wisdom saga soon)

Now obviously there’s no mythological or canonical reason why they would but it would certainly make things more interesting. Penelope is a middle aged woman so I imagine that Sirenope would have to be the eldest and most capable, most likely the leader as well.

And Odysseus’s daughter would be the youngest. I imagine a baby siren, around ten or so, impersonating this imaginary child. Perhaps this siren is the daughter of Sirenope, who is learning how to hunt from her mother (baby’s first drowning!! They grow up so fast!)

So when viewed through that lens Different Beast becomes even more monstrous because Odysseus is killing a child in front of its mother. He is also, ironically, putting Sirenope through the same pain he has felt ever since Poseidon - he is making her experience the guilt of a leader whose actions directly led to their people getting killed.

I saw a post that suggested Odysseus might have spared Sirenope’s life so she could live with the guilt of what she’s done, and I can’t help but admire the parallels. Odysseus has not only become a monster, he has become a monster that deals out the exact type of pain that he feels.

And he does it again by giving the torches to Eurylochus in Scylla oh my word-

for those who know me, you know that I am a big fan of greek mythology, so when the epic saga by Jorege Rivera-Herrans came out I couldn't help but fall madly in love with it, his music accompanied and inspired me while I was working, and now that this long journey is about to end I couldn't help but leave a tribute to thank him for all the work he has done. he couldn't have left us a better christmas present under the tree! thanks again for everything.

ps: I already know that with the last song I will cry like a fountain!!

Antinous: When the crown wonders where the prince is, only the ocean and I will know!

Poseidon, still recovering from his encounter with Ody: HE IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ME

Of course I am sad, but also super, super relieved. I genuinely thought he just didn't upload it, and I had missed my chance to watch it forever.

Been combing through the discord. Has Jorge rescheduled it at all?

Jorge seems so sad and apologetic about the cancelation of the livestream.

None of us blame you Jay. We understand that it's out of your control.

Nah

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think Jorge was excited. What do you think?

Aww right back at you
