My entire musical taste revolves around these two. I'm not complaining; I love listening to it with edits
I wear it as a badge of honour

Drawing a sketch for every released song from Epic the Musical bcs I am obsessed🤩
Day 1: The Troy Saga
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-

AKSBBAHR I FORGOT HERMES’ WINGS SMH
everyday i’m getting closer to having designs for all of them
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!!
The suitors honestly give such frat bro vibes
I’m was gonna post all of the cringe stuff instagram would hate here instead, but it’s more of an epic the musical blog now. Also cover art is by Zwist (obviously)
