"Back at home my wife waits for me. She's my everything. My Penelope" and what if i started crying right here huh what if i started sobbing Odysseus what would you do then
Is it just me or did anyone else notice [+ love] that in The Circe Saga (of Epic the Musical) how close the voices of Odysseus and Hermes are? Like, both in their voice but also the way they play their words? It may be unintentional, but I like the play on their similarities with Hermes being the god of thieves and trickery while Odysseus is a little pet liar who lies. Their characters are very close/paralleled and I like how their vocals/voices kinda mimic/match that
I love the idea that instead of Jorge accidentally writing "12 long years", Odysseus just genuinely doesn't know how long it's been. Not because he's bad at math, no, but because he's been gone for so long. It feels like so much longer because every day to him hurts and feels like it drags on now without his Penelope or Telemachus. 10 years feels like 12 when the two people you love the most can't be with you.
