Odysseus Really Was Sick And Tired Of Polites Haunting The Narrative Huh?

A little reminder that Telemachus JUST got back from his diplomatic mission, found his home destroyed with bodies in the halls, got ATTACKED.

MET HIS FATHER THAT'S BEEN GONE FOR 20 YEARS?? HIS FATHER STARTS SPOUTING OUT THAT THE SUITORS WANTED TO KILL HIM AND VIOLATE HIS MOTHER??

HIS FATHER DECAPITATES A MAN. HIS FATHER DECAPITATES MULTIPLE MEN. HIS FATHER IS BACK :(((

This art is so cute shoutout to the artist and this person’s request🌊

could you draw Leucothea? The ocean goddess who helped Odysseus?

Took a while but I finally came up with a design! Thanks for the rq this was fun 🫶🏾✨🤍 (her veil is part of hair which is part of the ocean which she uses to help Ody float :D )

Ya know, I’m curious how Jorge will address Odysseus leaving Calypso’s island. In The Odyssey it’s super simple; Zeus and Hermes pull up to Ogiga (I can’t spell) and basically just proclaims “man’s gotta get home” and then Calypso is forced to help Odysseus construct a raft.

But this is Epic: The Musical. This is Mr. Jorge Riverra Herrans we are talking about. There are so many instances in which Jorge has cranked the dial up from 1-20, making simple instances in The Odyssey more dramatic than they used to be. One of these instances is God Games.

I predict one of two things that could occur for Odysseus’ escape from Calypso’s island.

1. Hermes helps Odysseus use his wits as well as some form of violence like in Suffering/Different beast where he finds out wether or not goddesses can die

2. Hermes helps Odysseus escape Calypso’s island solid snake style on some sort of very long stealth mission. Idk how he quietly made a raft, who knows.

Either way we will see what happens. See you mates on the 30th :)

UNWELL MY FEELINGS THE AMOUNT OF SCRIPT FLIPPING MY HEART AND SOUL

Do you mates think Odysseus or Telemachus will use the “close your eyes and spare yourself the view” line with Penelope before or after the uuuuh suitor slaughter?

Going to war for 10 years and will take another 10 years to return to Ithaka where my wife and son wait for me (I’ll be gone for a week, it’ll feel like a month, and my cat and dogs have little to no sense of time I fear)

Update from my previous post. The livestream for tonight has been cancelled. But whatever you guys do, do not blame Jorge or anyone else for this mess. Blame the WiFi and the storms at Ithaca.

I was right :)

Not Odysseus’ “Maybe you can learn to forgive” line being in the same melody as “ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves”.

2 days until Odysseus gets home

Everytime I wish to put further emphasis on Odysseus, I make it my business to list every title and epithet Homer has given this man.

So I’ll be having a normal conversation and then I’ll drop “That tactful and guileful man, rugged, chestnut haired, broad shouldered, lying, gentle,royal Odysseus, son of Laertes, husband of Penelope, father of Telemachus, sacker of cities, sacker of Troy, King of Ithaka”.

I then realize I was so busy remembering every epithet that I no longer remember where the conversation was going.

You know those poodle skirts? I need Pokemon to make those but with different variations of furfrou. Give that poodle more attention. Dear god.
