Disney Heroes Franchise Revival (Part 1)

Chances are most of you reading probably remember I post I made a couple of months titled "My Ideal Revival of the Disney Heroes Franchise".

In that post, I talked about the forgotten Disney franchise known as Disney Heroes and how I feel like a modern-day revival could work.

If you want to check it out, I already put a link to it above.

And for those are reading this for the first time, I suggest you check out my previous post first.

Anyway back on topic, I mentioned that was planning to go more in-depth on this franchise idea, but I procrastinated like Hell on that since I was doing other posts and being busy with college.

But now I'm ready to continue this idea of mine's that from what I've seen, you all really like.

This franchise idea is going to be multi-part, with the first few parts going over specific movies and how they would be represented in the franchise.

And so to start this off, I'll be discussing the four films that used were to kickstart the original franchise.

Hercules:

The two main representatives from this film would be Hercules himself and Megara.

As for their appearances, Herc would have his appearance from the later years of the original franchise, aka this.

Meg would also be sporting a warrior look to her to fit the more action-focused tone of this franchise.

Her outfit would look a little something like this.....

Personality-wise, they're the same as they were in the original film.

Hercules would still be the lovable, kind-hearted himbo of a hero, and Meg would still be sassy, witty and just all-around iconic.

As for what each of them are capable of.

Hercules still possesses his god-like physical strength and often fights with a special xiphos (that has a blade shaped like a lightning bolt) that can emit powerful electricity and an indestructible golden lion shield (both of which were forged by Hephaestus).

He's also decently skilled in physical combat, since he has both the skill and especially the strength to back him up.

Herc tends to use either a simple brawler style or Greco-Roman style wrestling.

Meg, as you would expect, is much more ready for combat than she ever was before.

She's now decently skilled in physical combat and predominantly fights with a dory (which is a type of spear used back during Ancient Greece).

But Meg's greatest strength lies within her mind.

She possesses some rather impressive tactical skills and is pretty crafty in battle.

Basically, Herc is the brawns while Meg is the brains.

Their part of the Disney Heroes franchise would focuses on them going on adventures all over Ancient Greece.

Their main adversary would be none other than Hades himself, still aided by Pain and Panic!

Essentially at some point, Hades eventually escaped from The River Styx and to say he was pissed would be an MASSIVE understatement.

Other adversaries of Herc and Meg would consist of various monsters of Greek mythology include centaurs, hydras, cyclopes, the Titans, the Minotaur, the Manticore, the Chimera, Medusa and the gorgons, harpies, Typhon, Echidna, Circe, griffins, Cerberus, sirens, the Laestrygonians, and giant beasts like the Nemean Lion and Erymanthian Boar.

As for their allies, Philoctetes and Pegasus would undoubtedly be the most prominent.

Others would include Zeus and the other Gods of Olympus, Agamemnon and the Spartan Army, Icarus, Achilles, Chiron, Odysseus and Tempest and the Amazons.

As for notable locales....

These would include cities/city-states like Thebes, Arcadia, Athens, Sparta, Crete, Troy and Delphi.

Mythical locations such as Mount Olympus, The Underworld, Atlantis, The Elysian Fields, Themiscyra, Laistrygon, Hyperborea, Tartarus, and The Garden of the Hesperides.

And there would be plenty of naturalistic settings such as forests, swamps, plains, mountains and seas.

Aladdin:

The two main representatives would be none other than Aladdin himself and Jasmine.

As for their appearances, Aladdin would have the same design he was suppose to have for the short-lived relaunch of the original franchise back in 2005.

Jasmine would also be sporting an Arabian warrior look as well, which would look something like this.

Personality-wise, they're pretty much the same as they were in the original films and tv series.

As for what each of them are capable of.

Aladdin still possesses is nearly unmatched cunning and wit, impressive speed and agility, and fights with a huge ass scimitar and a dagger.

Jasmine also possesses some impressive speed and agility, but is more focused on martial arts, and usually fights with a long wooden staff and throwing knives.

Their part of the franchise would be focused on them going on adventures while protecting the kingdom of Agrabah.

From who you may ask?

Well it's none other than their arch-nemesis Jafar.

As for why he's here, this ties into the over-arching story of this franchise.

You remember how I mentioned in the previous post that a major element of the overall premise of this franchise was various Disney Villains having joined forces in order to further their respective goals?

Which admittedly is a little strange since a good chunk are, you know, dead.

Well that's all thanks to Hades, who brought the villains featured in this franchise who had originally died back from the grave.

Other enemies of Aladdin and Jasmine would include Abis Mal, Haroud Hazi Bin, Mechanicles, Mozenrath and Xerxes, Destane and the Mamluks, Mirage, Chaos, Narisa, Saleen and her mermaids, the Al Muddy people, skeleton warriors, giant cobras, golden Shiva monkey statues, jackals, mummies, ifrits, living Egyptian statues, Rukhs, the three-eyed Giant, a tribe of mischievous monkeys, pirates, King Yunan and The Forty Thieves.

As for their allies, Abu, The Magic Carpet, Iago, Rajah, and of course, Genie would be the most prominent ones.

Other allies would include Scheherazade, Ali Baba, Sinbad the Sailor, Chandu, Fasir, Dhandi, Eden, Queen Thundra, Sadira, The Wizard Pharaoh Very Ankh-Amman, Prince Zayn Al-Asnam, Maruf the Cobbler, and Duban.

As for notable locales....

The kingdom of Agrabah (and its landmarks like the palace and the bazaar), along with its surrounding locations like the desert, the oasis, an ancient city, and of course, The Cave of Wonders.

There would also be other kingdoms and nations such as The Land of the Black Sand, Getzistan, Isle of a Galafems, Morbia, Odiferous, Quirkstan, Upanistan, Thundra's rainforest, The Subterranean World of the Al Muddy, Pakistan, Persia, Egypt, Jerusalem and Pei Ling City.

Peter Pan:

The main representative of this film would be, who else, but Peter Pan himself!

For his appearance, just like Hercules, Peter would have the same appearance he did during the later years of the original franchise.

Personality-wise, he's also the same as he was in the original films.

As for what he's capable of.

Peter's fast and agile, incredibly cunning, possesses the power of flight, can command his own shadow, and fights with his trademark dagger, a bow and arrows, and a tomahawk.

His part of the franchise would focus his adventures and defending Neverland from danger.

And said danger is none other than his nemesis, Captain Hook.

Other adversaries of Peter would include Mr. Smee, the rest of the Jolly Roger pirate crew, Tick-Tock Crocodile, the cannibal tribe, and the various dangerous animals and creatures of Neverland.

Yeah, Peter doesn't exactly have a while lot of foes.

His list of allies is not much bigger either.

The most prominent would be obviously Tinker Bell and The Lost Boys.

Others would include The Darling Siblings, The Indian Tribe (who will be portrayed much more respectfully than they were in the original film) and the mermaids.

As for notable locales....

Peter's part of the franchise would be set entirely in Neverland.

As for Neverland itself, its notable locales would include Hangman's Tree, Mermaid Lagoon, The Never Woods, Skull Rock, The Indian Village, Blindman's Bluff, Cannibal Cove, Crocodile Creek, Marooner's Rock, Coral Beach, The Wild Jungle, The Misty Mountains, and The Never Sea.

Tarzan:

The two main representatives would be, who else, but Tarzan and Jane Porter.

As for their appearances, Tarzan, just like Aladdin, would have the same design he was suppose to have for the short-lived relaunch.

As for Jane, she would wear an outfit that just screams badass explorer, ala Lara Croft.

That outfit would consist of a tan safari hat, a open green safari vest over a yellow short-sleeved shirt that exposes her midriff, green shorts, black fingerless gloves and brown boots.

Personality-wise, they're both pretty much the same as they were in the original movie and tv series.

As for what each of them are capable of.

Tarzan still possesses his near ape-like levels of physicality, skilled at surfing on tree branches, and carries a quiver filled with various weapons include a spear, a knife, a bow and arrows.

As for Jane, she's a pure brawler, using the boxing skills she learned from her father and the animalistic moves she learned from Tarzan. She does fight with a few weapons like a sling and a boomerang.

Their part of the franchise would focuses on them protecting the jungle and its inhabitants from all kinds of threats

And their biggest threat would be none other than Clayton, another one of the villains brought back from the dead by Hades.

Other foes of the duo would include Clayton's henchmen, Queen La and The Leopard Man, Tublat, Lieutenant Colonel Jean Staquait, Professor Samuel T. Philander, Lady Waltham, Histah, Mabaya, Zutho, Sheeta and Nuru and other dangerous animals like baboons, leopards, pythons, crocodiles and dinosaurs.

As for their allies, Terk, Tantor, Professor Porter, Kala and Manu would serve as their most prominent.

Other allies would include Renard Dumont, Hugo and Hooft, Moyo, Mangani, Basuli and Kiwazi.

As for notable locales....

The Jungle itself, along with some landmarks within it like the treehouse, the watering hole, the swamp and Waziri village.

There would also be the kingdom of Opar and the lost world of Pellucidar.

Well that's all for now! I knew it took a while for this to happen, but I finally decided to buckle down and committed myself to continuing the very idea I shared with all of you.

Definitely planning on make a part 2 to this, which will hopefully be out by next month.

Let me know what you guys think about this so far, and what ideas you may have for the movies I talked about for this post, or for the movies I'll be talking about next.

man, I haven’t changed my main blog’s mobile appearance through this menu in ages, but I just wanted to update the header for the first time in yeaaars.

I really like that Laistrygon piece so, I wanna show it off.

but, if you have links and formatting and other such things on your blog description, please, please, please go to “Edit theme”, copy the raw text in the description field, paste it in some document or wordpad or someshit, and then once you’re done editing the blog appearance, go grab it and paste it in the same field again.

I really do not know why “Edit appearance” breaks all the formatting. it sucks. it’s been a problem for years. ye gods.

also yeah I’d had this Patrick Woodroffe art (via 70sscifiart) as my header for years.

intuition pjo au? 👀👀👀

intuition pjo au.

okay, so technically i’m still reading the books, so no actual canon characters this is just me slamming my dinguses into the universe.

so all three ended up at camp halfblood eventually; together actually after they’re almost killed by a monstrous jouzou (he’s either a dragon or a giant. something).

masahiro is an athena kid, obviously. he hates it though, doesn’t like hanging out with the other athena kids. he’s introverted please leave him alone. kenshin and sunee are like ‘no 💕’. masa genetically having to remember everything he’s ever heard makes him want to die, he hates it, especially because he can’t forget jouzou’s voice. he’s making dionysus play cards with him, which dio hates because masa never loses.

kenshin is an ares kid. real pride and joy. he got a sword and has not put it down since. won’t use a shield, won’t wear armour, masa is going to have a conniption about it. he rises to the top ranks of the campers very quickly but also no one wants to fight him because he’s too much and goes too hard.

sunee is a hermes kid. she’s climbing everything. she stole a pair of winged shoes. she unlocked her clauditiskinesis ability before anything else. dionysus’ personal hell is having to try and keep her out of things and he keeps failing at it. she keeps winning capture the flag and also she’s cheating.

sunee finds out about ‘quests’ and just decides that her’s is going to be about killing jouzou - she also wants to rob him - and decides to recruit masa and kenshin in. masa thinks she’s nuts, but he can’t just let kenshin and sunee go alone because they’ll absolutely die. hence, intuition trio vs jouzou but make it greek myth themed and an adventure through greek mythological locations (notably probably nysa, maybe laistrygon, maybe nemea).

#valdrinors #tj talks #the trio: *show up at camp*#dionysus: i wish i was dead.

Ares and Athena through the years - Ch. 14

Chapter Fourteen: Odyssey, Pt. 02

(A/N: The second part of the Odyssey! The next one will be the last one, but also the longest, because I’m barely half-way through this damn book! Also a warning for people getting eaten by cyclops and sea monsters)

Odysseus continued: “Now that you know this, you're probably wondering how I got into this situation. So I will tell you also of my many troubles, that in the end have brought me here.

It all started at the sacking of Troy and the surrounding area.

I insisted, that we should leave immediately after winning the war.

But Agamemnon, master of bad decisions, and a majority of his army, refused, continuing the sacking, partying and getting drunk and making sacrifices that couldn't appease the angered gods anymore. A retaliatory force coming to the aid of the surviving Trojans overwhelmed us and killed many of the Achaeans, who had survived the war. In addition Zeus' wrath came upon us and a large part of the fleet was wrecked in a storm. My ships and men survived, albeit damaged, but we were brought off course and sent adrift on the sea, all the while mourning those of our men, who had fallen against the Kykones.

After a few days we drifted to the island of the Lotophages¹.

They were friendly and meant well, but the Lotos they shared with us was apparently a hallucinogen, because it clouded the senses of my men to the point where I forcefully had to drag them back to the ships, despite their tears and protests.

You will see, that this stop was the least problematic on my journey.

The next island we came to was that of the Kyklopes², audacious, lawless men, who rely on the Deathless Ones so much, that they don't sow fruits or corn, nor drive out to fish, as they don't know rows or ships. Their fruits grow without care, by the blessing of Zeus. We found insane lots of goats living on the island. As we set out to look the place, we found a cave and in a fit of stupidity decided to explore it.

We were still there, when its owner came back, a nasty Kyklops named Polyphemos.

He heeded not the laws of hospitality – perhaps he didn't even know them – spoke blasphemy against Zeus and … and he grabbed two of my men, flung them around like dolls … and ate them. Gods, it was horrifying! Then he went to sleep. In the morning that monster devoured two more of my men, drove his sheep outside and pushed a boulder in front of the entrance, locking us inside. I really wanted to kill him in his sleep, but I couldn't do that without trapping us all inside the cave, so we had to bide our time. During that time we looked for something to aid us in our escape and found a huge bludgeon. I cut a piece off with my sword and ordered the others to sharpen it into a rod. By the time the Kyklops was back, it was ready and so was my escape plan. After he had devoured two more of my men, I managed to get him drunk on the wine we had brought along. He asked me what my name was and I told him it was 'Nobody'. He declared, that he would eat me last and went to sleep.

We took the big pale we had made, heated it over the fire and used it to gouge his eye out.

The Kyklops awoke, roared in pain and fury, that the cave shook and we all ran, trying to get out of his reach. He pulled the pale out of his eye, scrambled around and kept on screaming.

From outside we could hear his fellow Kyklopes gather around his cave to see what was wrong. We could hear them ask him, why he was screaming like that. When he told them that 'Nobody' had blinded him and wanted to kill him, we heard them scoff in response and tell him to pray to his father, mighty Poseidon. My heart laughed, because my idea had fooled them so well.

Polyphemos kept feeling around and finally moved the boulder from the entrance of the cave. He felt the backs of his sheep to prevent anyone from escaping among them. Little did he know, that we were clinging to the bellies of the sheep – and beautiful, well-fed and well-cared sheep they were – and that was how we got away. We quickly drove the sheep to the ships to those of the crew, who had stayed there and made haste to get away from the island.

But I had a moment of hubris – I still don't know what I was thinking – and provoked the Kyklops with taunting words, that he threw a boulder at us, narrowly missing our ship. My companions told me to shut my mouth already (and I really should have) but I didn't listen and made the mistake of giving my real name. In his rage, he prayed to his father Poseidon, that I should never reach my home, or if I should, that I would get there very lately and all alone.

Thus he prayed and Kyanokhaitis³ heard him.

But we, now finally out of that danger, mourned those who had died, while thanking the gods for ourselves staying alive.

We shared the sheep we had taken among us and made sacrifices to Zeus, which went unheard.

We kept on sailing, until we landed on the island of Aiolos.

He received us kindly and asking us about everything. I told him whatever he wanted to know and after a month finally asked him to allow us to leave.

He did so and also gave me a leather bag, into which he locked the winds, safe for the west wind, so that we might get home quickly.

And we did have good wind, it was wonderful. It wasn't long, until Ithaka was in sight!

But unfortunately, my crew had to be idiots and put it into their heads, that the leather bag had treasures in it. They uncorked it, the winds escaped in a furious storm and we were blown back to Aiolos' island. But this time he sent us away, saying that we had to be cursed by the gods and he didn't want to have cursed people in his home.

I returned to the ships empty-handed and crestfallen.

The next land we came to was that of the Laistrygones.

As we went out for enquiries, we found a girl, who pointed us to the house of her parents. We quickly found out, that they were man-eating giants, as the king quickly seized one of my men, killed and cooked him.

The rest of us quickly fled back to the ships and made haste to get away as quickly as possible.

But alas, only my own ship managed to escape, the others and their crew were lost.

We kept on rowing, mourning the loss of so many more of our comrades.

For days we meandered across the sea, until we got to the isle of Aiaia. There lives Kirke, daughter of Helios and the Okeanide Perse and sister of king Aietes of Kolkhis. She is a goddess and a sorceress of great power.

That I found out, when I sent a few of my comrades to scout the surroundings and only one of them came back, completely out of his wits. He told me, that the others had been invited inside her home and not returned. Only he had refused to come inside her house and therefore had escaped that fate.

This prompted me to go out and see for myself what was going on.

On my way, I was met by Hermes, the golden-staffed, who told me what exactly had happened: that my comrades had been turned into pigs and that I wouldn't stand a chance saving them without his help. He gave me a herb that would make me immune against Kirke's sorcery and told me what I should do. I was to eat that herb, before she would give me her enchanted meal, then, as soon as she would hit me with her switch, pull my sword and attack her, as if I wanted to kill her. Then I was to make her swear a Stygian Oath not to harm me and go to bed with her, then she would restore my comrades back to humanity.

So I did, so it happened and we spent over a year at her home, before one of my comrades reminded me of home.

I asked Kirke to let us go and she agreed, but advised me to travel to Hades first and consult the spirit of the blind seer Teiresias, as he was the only one, who knew how I could get home.

The prospect of going to Hades alive frightened me, but she gave me detailed instructions on how to get there and what to do upon arrival.

We sailed to the far west, to the stream of Okeanos and beyond.

There we found a grove of white poplars, the tree of terrible Persephone.

There we entered the underworld and sacrificed the two black sheep we had brought along.

It attracted many of the feeble spirits, who wanted to strengthen themselves by drinking some of the blood, but I pulled my sword and refused to let anyone drink, before Teiresias had arrived.

Oh how many familiar faces I saw, and how surprised I was to see them!

I found one of my comrades, whom we had left behind in Kirke's home. He told me, that he had fallen out of a window and broken his neck and begged, that he should be buried properly and with his oar. I promised him to do so.

And there I saw Antikleia, my dear mother, who had been alive, when I had sailed for Troy. How shocked I was to see her here!

But even her I couldn't let near, before I had consulted Teiresias.

He came and strengthened himself on the sheep blood, before revealing, why I was cursed and what I should do to return home. I had invoked the wrath of Ennosigaios⁴ by blinding his son Polyphemos, but even so my remaining men and I would come home, under one condition: he predicted, that we would land at the isle of Thrinakia, where the sun Helios lets his cows graze. Only if we kept our hands off the cows and didn't harm them, we would get home. If we hurt them, my crew would die and I would return only after many years more – alone, on a stranger's ship. And once there I would find many suitors at my home, vying for my wife and consuming my property. I would slay them all for their impertinence and then I was to seek a land afterwards would live the rest of my days more or less peacefully, until death would come for me from the sea.

Having learned this, I allowed some of the other spirits to drink from the blood.

The first to drink was my mother. I wept bitterly, when I heard how she had passed away. She told me … excuse me, please – ahem – she had died of heartbreak during my absence, that she had withered away yearning for me. She also told me, that my Penelope was still waiting for me, that my father was sorely missing me and wasting away (just like herself) and that my son was ruling over my estate. I sought to hug my dear mother, but it's the lot of the dead to be incorporeal ghosts. She bid me farewell and retreated back into the darkness.

Then came more souls of the dead, some of them lovers of gods and mothers of famed heroes.

I even encountered Alkmene, the mother of Herakles, and Leda, the mother of Helene – both beloved by Zeus during their lifetime.

I met so many, but if I recounted them all, we would be sitting here all night and it's really time to go to sleep.”

Silence filled the room, as everyone else gazed at Odysseus in wonder.

Eventually queen Arete broke the silence: “Look at what a splendid guest we have here! We shouldn't send him off too quickly, not without appropriate guest presents. The gods have given us great wealth and it's only fair, that we should share it with this man, who is in need of our gifts indeed.”

The assembled nobles nodded in agreement and looked at their king, waiting for what he had to say.

The king turned to Odysseus and asked him to stay for a day longer, as much as he probably desired to go home. Alkinoos was delighted, when the war veteran agreed.

“But first”, he said, “my curiosity needs to be satisfied. Please do tell us, if you saw any of your comrades who met their fates in front of the walls of Troy. It would really delight us all. I wouldn't mind staying up all night just to hear that!”

Odysseus was obviously tired, but humoured them and went on: “As you wish, then. Yes, I did see them all – them and those of my old comrades, who survived the war, but met their fates at home. First I saw dark Persephone herself – she came to lead the gentle women's souls away, then allowed me to see my old friends and acquaintances.

Imagine my surprise, when the first to appear was Agamemnon of Mykene, who had been alive last time I had seen him. He was wailing and weeping over being dead and it was so heart-wrenching, that I began to cry as well. When I asked him, what fate had befallen him, he told me about how his wife Klytaimnestra and her lover Aigisthos had perfidiously murdered him, right after his return home. They had slaughtered unfortunate Kassandra too (the princess of Troy, I remember her – she was a lot like me). He then proceeded to go on a rant about the falsehood of women, only to remind me, that I had chosen a good and loyal wife in Penelope (as if I didn't already know). Then he bewailed, that he hadn't even got to see his son again, before he had died and wished me, that I would see my dear child grow into a fine young man. He also asked me, if his son Orestes was alright, but I didn't know.

He retreated into the shadows and the next to come were Akhilleus and Patroklos (always together even in death), Antilokhos and Ajax the son of Telamon.

Akhilleus recognised me and sadly asked me, why I had come to the underworld. I told him and congratulated him on now being the ruler of the shades. He moaned and responded, that he would rather have been a peon, serving another and living in poverty, than be the superior of mindless shades. He also inquired after his father and son. I told him what I knew about them and he returned to the Asphodel Fields, proud that his son had gained glory.

Other souls stood sadly and asked what I could say about their loved ones.

Only Ajax stood aside; he held a grudge and didn't want to talk to me. I must admit that I regret winning the competition against him for the armour of great Akhilleus – it brought him to the grave and that just wasn't worth it.

I also saw king Minos of Crete, who now judges the dead.

I saw the giant hunter Orion, still chasing wild game even in death.

There was Tityos, who had assaulted black-robed Leto and as punishment was chained to the ground, while two vultures were feeding off his liver.

And there I saw Tantalos, perpetually starving and thirsty, trying in vain to reach the fruits above him and the water below, always retreating, when he reached or stooped for either.

Then there was Sisyphos, the trickster, rolling his boulder up a mountain, only for it to roll down, when he was almost there, so that he would have to start again.

I even encountered the shadow of famed Herakles. But he himself isn't there – he sits with the Immortals as a god and is wed to Hebe, the giver of youth.

The shadow gave me his sympathy and recalled how once he had been sent here during life, to get terrible Kerberos from Hades, for his last service to Eurystheus.

And I would have seen many more, but the dead now came in such large numbers, that I was seized by terror. When venerated Persephone motioned for me to leave, I was more than happy to comply.

So I grabbed my terrified companions and we returned to the surface and onto the stream of Okeanos.

We returned to Kirke's island and buried Elpenor, as I had promised him.

The sorceress let us rest for a day, gave us provisions and warned us about several dangers ahead on our journey.

Among other things, she warned me about the Seirênes and their entrancing voices. She advised me to stuff the ears of my crew with wax, as soon as we came near their island. If I wanted to hear them, I was to let my crew tie me to the pylon. I would be entranced by their singing and beg my crew to untie me, but with the wax in their ears, they wouldn't hear me and just row past their island.

But danger wouldn't end there, because next we would come to the narrow strait of Messina. The strait is flanked by two cliffs.

Halfway up the bigger one there is a a cave, where hideous Skylla has her home. Kirke described her as a bellowing monster with twelve dangling feet, six long necks and nasty heads on each, with a triple row of sharp teeth. Normally she fishes in the waters below with her long-necked heads, but when a ship came past, she'd eat a man with each of her heads.

On the smaller cliff opposite her cave stands a giant fig tree. Beneath it is a giant whirlpool, the monstrous Kharybdis. Thrice a day she would swallow water and throw it back up thrice.

There was no way past either of them without losing men.

After that we would come to Thrinakia, the island where Helios kept his cattle. She gave me the same advice Teiresias had given me before: not to touch them or all of my men would die and my return home would be delayed.

With her warnings on my mind, we set sail in the morning.

I told everything to my crew and they stuffed their ears with wax and tied me to the pole, as soon as the isle of the Seirênes came into sight.

I could see, that they looked just the way Kirke had describe them: they had the upper bodies of fair Nymphai and the wings and lower bodies of birds and were sitting on a green field, each on her own pile of bones and rotting corpses of men, who had been spellbound by their singing.

The men started to row as fast as they could.

As soon as the Seirênes spotted our ship, they began to sing to me.

Their heavenly singing ensnared my senses, as they called to me and promised me all the knowledge I had ever desired and dreamed of. I wanted to hear more and begged my men to untie me, but they leaned further into their oars and sailed faster. Two stood up and bound me tighter to the pylon.

It was only when their voices couldn't be heard anymore, that I stopped struggling against the ropes. Only then did my comrades take the wax out of their ears and untie me.

We just about had time to catch our breaths, before our ship was pulled into a strong and loud current. My crew was seized by fear and they let go of their rows. I had to give them a rousing speech to get them back to rowing the ship.

I instructed the helmsman to steer the ship away from the whirlpool towards the bigger cliff (I hadn't told my men anything about Skylla, because it would have frightened them even more). As we drove past Kharybdis, it sucked in water and we could see its insides, a truly horrific sight: from the walls of water came sharp rocks like teeth and at the bottom of the whirl the earth, darkened by the wet sand. That was terrifying enough, but it all got worse when we passed the cave of Skylla, her monstrous heads dashed down and grabbed six of my comrades. They thrashed in Skylla's six maws, calling my name, screaming for help, before they got devoured … it was … it was the most woebegone thing I had ever seen in my entire life. And that means a lot coming from me. We hastily sailed past, while her mouths were full.

After getting past those monstrosities with heavy losses, we finally got to the island of Helios.

We could see golden cows and sheep grazing on green fields.

Remembering what Teiresias and Kirke had told me, I warned my crew against landing here and told them, that we would land at the next island we'd find. But their collective protest forced me to give in and we landed on Thrinakia.

Predictably enough, Zeus sent a perpetual storm, which kept us there for over a month. At some point the provisions Kirke had given us began to run out.

We had to resort to hunting our food, birds, berries, roots, small game and so on.

One day I slipped away to make some sacrifices and pray to the gods for deliverance. What I got instead was a deep slumber.

While I was asleep, one of my comrades (my brother-in-law, sadly enough⁵) got the – urgh! – 'bright' idea, that it would be perfectly fine to kill one of the sacred golden cows, sacrifice it to the god and eat it. I woke up and returned to the ship, only to smell and behold beef being roasted over fire. Of course I was angry, frustrated and completely devastated, but it was too late now.

Meanwhile, one of the maidens living on the island reported the robbery to her father Helios.

Later, Kalypso, who had heard everything from other sea deities, told me what exactly had happened: wroth at my comrades' offence, the Sun had complained to Zeus and demanded reparation, or he would sink into the stream of Okeanos and never rise again. Zeus had pacified him and promised him retribution.

In the meantime the gods sent us bad omens: the cow skins crawled around, the flesh on the skewers screamed and it sounded much like the pained mooing of living cows. It was really nauseating to me, but apparently my comrades didn't notice anything. They merrily ate the beef for six days.

On the seventh, the storm sent by Zeus suddenly stopped.

We quickly went aboard and set sail. But as soon as we were on the open sea and there was no land in sight, the skies darkened and the King of the Gods unleashed another hurricane, worse than the last. It was already ripping the vessel apart, when Zeus struck our ship with a lightning bolt. It killed all that had been left of my crew and wrecked the ship completely.

I survived just barely, by clinging to the pylon. The storm ceased after a while, but bad winds carried me across the sea all night long – right back to Skylla and Kharybdis. Latter was swallowing the sea water, but I just about managed to grab the branches of the fig tree above. All I could do was hold on, until the monstrous whirlpool finally spat the water and with it the pylon back out. I let go, clung to the wooden pole and paddled out of there as fast as I could.

For nine days I was adrift on the sea, until I was marooned on the island of the goddess Kalypso, who treated me well and nursed me back to my full health and wits.

You know the rest, king; I told you and your esteemed queen yesterday. I would rather not tell again.”

Silence settled over the crowd once more.

This time it was Alkinoos, who broke it by deciding, that Odysseus, in addition to all the other guest presents he had already received, should also have kettles and tripods. His decision found collective approval.

Next day, the gifts from the Phaiakoi were carried to a ship, more festivities were held and Odysseus did his best to rein in his anxiety.

The morning after that, the ship was finally ready to leave the harbour.

With gladdened soul, the long-suffering hero bade his kind hosts farewell and wished them the best, a wish that was requited by the Phaiakoi. The proper sacrifices to the gods were made, the crew and he himself went aboard and after everyone was in place, they set sail.

He stood on the rail to wave at the crowd standing on the dock. Meanwhile a few of the rowers spread out blankets and cloths for him to sleep on.

With a thank you, he lay down and fell into a deep slumber.

All day and all night the ship practically flew across the sea and arrived at Ithaka early in the morning. They steered the ship to a remote place they knew, carried Odysseus (who was still sleeping like a log) down onto the strand with his newly given treasures, in this remote place where no one would see all of this and rob all the goods.

Then they sailed back home.

On Olympos, Poseidon was throwing a hissy fit.

“This will not stand!”, he roared, “If the mortals don't honour me anymore, does that mean that the gods don't do it either? I thought I decreed, that Odysseus would only come home after much suffering, as you decreed that eventually he should return! But the Phaiakoi – descendants of mine, no less – escorted him to Ithaka on a fast ship, with greater treasures than he ever could have won at Troy! This will not stand!”

“Now, now”, Zeus sought to pacify him, “No one disrespects you here. After all, you're the oldest here-”

“Fourth oldest!”, Aphrodite corrected sharply. “Of us Olympians, I, Demeter and Hera are the oldest here!”

“Whatever”, Zeus went on, “Dear brother, if a mortal disrespects you, you can still get revenge later. If you feel, that the Phaiakoi disrespected you by bringing him home at last, punish them to your heart's content.”

“I will!”, Poseidon huffed, “And also-”

“Uhhh, uncle?”

The gods turned to Dionysos in surprise.

The god of wine and madness sighed: “Uncle, don't you think it's time to just … stop? Being charitable towards an honoured guest is no disrespect to us gods. And Odysseus has already gone through so much shit. You got what you wanted. I have looked into his mind; he will be scarred for life, will always have nightmares at night. He has suffered too much by now, that it more than makes up for his crime. Let it go.”

Athena beamed at her half-brother and would have hugged him, but she had a reputation to uphold.

“You heard him”, she triumphed, “I couldn't have said it better. With all due respect, uncle, you need to calm down. The Phaiakoi shouldn't suffer, because of your petty grudge (besides, Polyphemos more than deserved what he got). Under any other circumstances, you – and we all – would have rewarded their helpfulness and hospitality. Should this be an exception?”

Poseidon grumbled, but assented and promised not to take it out on the innocent Phaiakoi.

That pacified Athena; Poseidon was a god of his word.

Still, it went against the fate that the Moirai had decided and so Zeus Moiragetês⁶ had a long talk with them. For once, the Moirai were generous enough to turn a blind eye to this subversion of fate.

And that's how a mean prophecy didn't come true.⁷

In Ithaka, Odysseus finally awoke from his slumber. But as he looked around, he didn't recognise his own home; the gods had summoned a thick mist to conceal the surroundings in its silver grey veil.

At first he was totally lost and despaired over it, praying that someone would send him a sign to let him know, where he was.

Athena heard his prayer and emerged from the mist in the guise of a young shepherd.

The battle-hardened veteran spotted him and inquired, where he was.

She laughed and informed him, that he was on widely known Ithaka, where else could they be?

She could tell, that he was relieved beyond comprehension.

But with healthy suspicion, he told her a fib, that he was from Crete, had fled after murdering a prince, then got into a storm and had been dumped here by the crew of the ship he had sailed with.

Athena laughed in amusement: “And this is why you're one of my favourite heroes. Your cunning is exceptional and you and I have that in common.”

He gawked at her and fell onto his knees.

She smiled and continued: “I have come to assist you. For you're not out of danger. Teiresias surely has warned you, that you would come home to find strangers inside your home, wooing your unwilling wife. You and I must plan now how to vanquish them.”

Odysseus looked up and replied: “Hardly a man could ever recognise you, oh goddess. For you disguise yourself as one of us mortals, when you walk among us and shroud yourself in illusions.”

Athena concealed, that one hero had seen her and other gods for what they were: Diomedes, Odysseus' former friend, whom she might have favoured just a little more. Even if these times of peace, she had never taken away his enhanced sight.

“Let's not talk about that”, she went on instead, “First we need to hide all those treasures. Then I will cast an illusion on you. We both know that it's better, if no one recognises you just yet.

And I know, that you're suspicious. You don't want to truly return, until you have reassured yourself about your wife's loyalty, no matter how much I insist, that she has never been unfaithful to you. She passes the days weeping for you, missing you sorely and stalling all the suitors that pressure her to marry one of them. Her loyalty is the last thing you have to worry about – it's her hope slipping away and the loyalty of her and your servants.

I will be honest with you: I always knew, that you would return home alone and in secret, after much suffering, but I couldn't go against Poseidon, who is my father's brother. He begrudges you still, because you blinded his son Polyphemos (even though that shitfaced Kyklops really had it coming). But it was my father's will, that you would come home eventually.

Listen: right now, you are in the harbour of Phorkys⁸, the Old Man of the Sea. Over there is a cave, dedicated to him and the local Naiades, who you always honoured with sacrifices. And there is the tree-clad Mount Neriton.”

With that she dispersed the fog, revealing the familiar environment.

With a happy cry he sank to the earth, kissed the ground and made a sweet prayer to greet the Naiades he had honoured, while had had been home.

After that, the mortal and the goddess carried the riches into the cave to hide them.

Then they began to plot the imminent doom of the intruding suitors, who were vying for Penelope.

“Thank you for warning me”, Odysseus told her, “Had I come in unprepared, I would have ended up like Agamemnon, slaughtered in my own home, except that it wouldn't be by my dear wife. Please help me, as I plan how to get my kingdom and property back and vanquish the intruders. Stay by my side, as I reclaim what's mine. With your wise counsel and assistance, I would take on hundreds of men without fear.”

Athena smiled. “Gladly will I be by your side through it all, my mortal friend.”

A risky thing for any deity, to call a mortal “friend”.

But Athena was a lonelier goddess than most people thought.

She had surprisingly few friends. And with Ares gone, she didn't even have a rival to regularly spar with (she didn't even know where he was; he had left right after the Trojan War had ended for good, was now the-Fates-knew-where and only occasionally wrote to his family).

Her mortal favourites were as close to being friends as her status allowed.

And she chose them carefully, because she hated when the favour of a god went to a mortal's head. Her favourites had to be sensible enough to not take her goodwill for granted.

Odysseus smiled back: “There are no words to express my gratitude, Oxyderkês⁹.”

---

1) Lotophages: Lotos-Eaters. 2) These Kyklopes are the children of Poseidon and the sea nymph Thoôsa (probably a goddess of swift currents), a daughter of Phorkys and Keto and sister to the Gorgones (among others). They are not to be confused with the Elder Kyklopes, who are the sons of Ouranos and Gaia, or with their children, the Younger Kyklopes, who worked for Hephaistos, before Apollon slew them. 3) Kyanokhaitis: "The (dark) Blue-Haired", an epithet of Poseidon. 4) Ennosigaios: "Shaker of the Earth", an epithet of Poseidon in his function as god of earthquakes. 5) Eurylokhos of Same was married to Odysseus' sister Ktimene. Throughout the Odyssey, he's shown to be a cowardly ass, who constantly goes against Odysseus' orders and undermines his authority. 6) Moiragetês: "Leader/Guide of the Fates", an epithet of Zeus in his function as god of fate. It's also en epithet of Apollon in his function as god of prophecy and oracles. 7) In the actual Odyssey, the prophecy is that the vessel carrying Odysseus home would be turned into stone, shortly before reaching the home harbour. In the original version Poseidon actually does get revenge and turns the ship into stone. It terrifies the Phaiakoi into resolving to never escort sea travellers again. Afterwards, Poseidon creates a mountain ridge to encompass their city and make sure they never escort strangers again. I don't like that version at all, so I took the liberty to alter it and let the innocent people get away. After all, their only "crime" was being friendly and helping a man, who was acting in self-defense, when he blinded a man-eating Kyklops. 8) Phorkys is an old sea god, son of Pontos and Gaia and brother of Nereus (the god of sea bounty and father of the Nereides), Thaumas (god of the wonders of the sea), the whale-shaped sea monster Keto and (perhaps) the whirlpool-shaped sea monster Kharybdis. He represents the dangers of the sea. Together with Keto, he is the father of the most dangerous and monstrous sea deities, the Graiai & the Gorgones (those you know from the myth of Perseus), Thoôsa (the mother of Polyphemos by Poseidon), Skylla and Ekhidna and according to some sources of Ladon, the Drakon that guards the Garden of the Hesperides. 9) Oxyderkês: "Sharp-Sighted", an epithet of Athena.

Antiphate/Laistrygones

When I went to this land called Laistrygones,I was with my men. I remember when I sent my men to search out the island, I didn’t know anything about Laistrygones. I remember when my men didn’t come back so I went to look for them. I found my men with Antiphate and his queen. Then I got scared because I saw my men head's all over the place. I looked up and saw how huge Antiphate was compared to me. I saw giants behind him coming towards me. My heart dropped my and hands were shaking. I started stepping back slowly as possible so I could get a head start to run. Then I yelled to my men, “ LETS GO RUN RUN” !!!!!!! So we all started running as fast as possible so I won’t get eaten. Then I saw my boat as I was running. I pulled out my knife to cut the rope from the boat and jumped right on. I yelled to my men again , “COME ON, MY MEN !!! LET'S GO THEY'RE COMING CLOSER”. I looked up all I saw was all the giants reaching their hands out and I started sailing away. I had to leave some men behind because I had to go. If I waited any longer I would have gotten eaten.

III. MAIKLING BUOD SA ODYSSEY

10 taon pagkatapos ng pagbagsak ng Troy, ang nanalong Griyego bayani Odysseus ay hindi pa rin ibinalik sa kanyang katutubong Ithaca. Ang isang grupo ng mga nakakatakot na manliligaw, na naniniwala na si Odysseus ay patay, ay sumobra sa kanyang palasyo, na nagsusumikap sa kanyang tapat - bagama't nagpapahina - asawa, si Penelope, at dumaan sa kanyang pagkain. Sa pahintulot ni Zeus, ang diyosang si Athena, ang pinakadakilang kaalyado ni Odysseus, ay lumilitaw sa pagtakpan at hinihimok ang anak na lalaki ni Odysseus na Telemachus upang maghanap ng balita ng kanyang ama sa Pylos at Sparta. Gayunpaman, ang mga suitors, na pinamumunuan ni Antinous, ay nagplano na buntahin siya sa kanyang pagbabalik.

Habang tinutularan ng Telemachus ang trail ni Odysseus sa pamamagitan ng mga istorya mula sa kanyang mga lumang kasamahan, si Athena ay nag-aayos para sa pagpapalaya kay Odysseus mula sa isla ng magagandang diyosang Calypso, na ang bilanggo at manliligaw ay naging walong taon na ang nakalipas. Ang Odysseus ay nagtatakda ng paglalayag sa isang pansamantala na balsa, ngunit ang diyos na si Poseidon, na ang galit na si Odysseus na naunang nauna sa kanyang mga pakikipagsapalaran sa pamamagitan ng pagbubulag ng anak ni Poseidon, ang Cyclops Polyphemus, ay nagpapakita ng bagyo. Sa tulong ni Athena, umaabot sa Odysseus ang Phaeacians. Ang kanilang prinsesa, Nausicaa, na may crush sa guwapo mandirigma, bubukas ang palasyo sa mga taong hindi kilala. Inalis ni Odysseus ang kanyang pagkakakilanlan hangga't makakaya niya hanggang sa wakas, sa kahilingan ng Phaeacians, sinabi niya ang kuwento ng kanyang mga pakikipagsapalaran.

Inuugnay ni Odiseus kung paano, kasunod ng Digmaang Troyano, ang kanyang mga kalalakihan ay nagdusa ng mas maraming pagkalugi sa mga kamay ng mga Kikones, pagkatapos ay halos natutukso upang manatili sa isla ng dambuhalang Lotus Eaters. Susunod, ang mga Cyclops Polyphemus ay sumasakay sa maraming tao sa Odysseus bago ang isang mahusay na plano ng Odiseus 'pinapaya.

IV TUNGGALIAN

T vs T, dahil si Odysseus ay pitting ng kanyang lakas laban sa ibang lalaki. T vs. S dahil kinokontrol ni Odysseus ang kanyang sariling galit at lakas kaya hindi niya binigay ang kanyang sarili. Ang Oysseus ay kailangang labanan ang kalooban ni Poseidon upang makauwi.

V. SULIRANIN

Mayroong dalawang pangunahing salungatan sa The Odyssey. Ang una ay nangyayari sa isla ng Icaria kung saan nakakatugon sa Odysseus ang cyclops Polyphemus. Ang mga cyclops traps Odysseus at ang ilan sa kanyang mga tao sa isang kuweba kung saan siya agad kumakain ng dalawa sa kanila. Upang makaligtas, si Odysseus ay makakakuha ng Polyphemus na lasing at bulag siya ng isang nasusunog na taya. Ang lahat ay makatakas sa pamamagitan ng pagtatago sa ilalim ng mga tiyan ng tupa, ngunit ang salungat na ito ay humantong sa mas higit na labanan dahil ang Polyphemus ay anak ni Poseidon, at si Poseidon ay naghihiganti sa pagbubulag ng kanyang anak.

Ang pangalawang malaking labanan ay nangyayari kapag dumating si Odysseus sa Ithaca. Ang kanyang bahay ay puno ng suitors para sa kanyang asawa na si Penelope. Kinakailangan niyang talunin silang lahat, pagpatay sa bawat isa at Kabilang ang mga di-tapat na mga katulong. Nagwakas ang malaking labanan na ito Ang Odisea. Ang parehong mga salungatan ay panlabas dahil ang mga ito ay tao laban sa tao. Si Odysseus ay mayroon ding mga panloob na salungatan kung siya ay natutukso na manatili sa ibang mga lupain at hindi umuwi, ngunit siya ay palaging gumagawa ng tamang desisyon.

VI. RESOLUSYON

Nagsisimula ang resolusyon kapag sa wakas ay bumalik si Odysseus sa Ithaca. Siya ay dumating sa magkaila, ngunit ipinahayag ang kanyang sarili sa kanyang anak na lalaki Telemachus. Pinananatili niya ang kanyang pagkakakilanlan mula kay Penelope. Sa buong taon, si Penelope ay nag-devise ng ruse pagkatapos ng ruse upang panatilihin ang mga suitors sa bay.

VII. PANAUHAN

Ikalawa dahil tungkol sa buhay ng persona at tuwiran niya itong inilahad.

VIII. TEMA

Ang mahirap na trabaho ay maaaring magdala ng malaking gantimpala, ang dahilan kung bakit sinasabi ko ito dahil sa buong libro na si Odysseus ay nagtrabaho na talagang mahirap na huwag kalimutan kung anong bahay ang kagaya ng pagkatalo at pagsakop sa lahat ng mga paghihirap at mga pagsubok na inilagay niya at ng mga diyos sa harap ng Sa kanya upang makabalik sa kanyang tahanan sa isla ng Ithaca. "Ako ang iyong hiniling, Tatay. Umuwi ako pagkatapos ng dalawampung mahabang taon.

PROYEKTO SA FILIPINO

ODISEA

Ni Homer ( Gresya )

Mga Tauhan:

· Odysseus - Siya ang asawa ni Queen Penelope at ang ama ni Prince Telemachus. Siya ang paborito ng Diyosa na si Athena na madalas ay nagpapadala sa kanya ng banal na tulong, ngunit isang mapait na kaaway naman siya ni Poseidon na nagpapahina sa kanyang paglalakbay sa bawat pagliko.

· Telemachus – Siya ang anak ni Odysseus. Siya ay isang natural na balakid sa mga manliligaw ng kanyang ina, ngunit sa kabila ng kanyang tapang at mabuting puso, siya ay kulang sa tatag at tiwala upang tutulan ang mga ito.

· Penelope – Siya ang asawa ni Odysseus at ang ina ni Telemachus. Minsan siya ay sumpungin at magugulatin ngunit siya ay matalino at tapat sa kanyang asawa.

Tunggalian:

· Tao laban sa Sarili – Nilabanan ni Odysseus ang kanyang sarili. Kinumbinsi niya ang kanyang mga tao upang itali siya sa palo ng barko upang marinig ang awit ng Siren.

· Tao laban sa Lipunan – Si Odysseus ay nakipaglaban sa kalikasan. Pagkabalik niya sa kanyang tahanan, nakita niya na pinalilibutan ng mga manliligaw ang kanyang bahay.

Panauhan Ikatlo Tema Ang Odisea ay tungkol sa pagsunod sa bayani at kalaban ni Odysseus habang siya ay nakikipaglaban upang makauwi pagkatapos ng Trojan War, isang digmaan na tumagal ng isang buong dekada. Sa epikong tula na ito, mayroong tatlong pangunahing tema: pagkamagiliw, katapatan, at paghihiganti. an";mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;color:#212121'> la ay nakapasok na sa kuweba nakakita sila ng maraming suplay at pagkain maya-maya ay dumating ang higantang si Polyphemus at nakita sila, nagalit si polyphemus ng makita niya sila odyssues at mga kasama ang mga tauhan nito kaya't kinulong sila ni polyphemus sa kuweba hinarangan niya ito ng dalawang malaking bato upang hindi makalabas sila odysseus dahil kakainin pa niya ang mga ito. Katapatan, tulad ng pagtatalaga sa pagtulong sa mga malapit sa iyo, ay isang pangunahing tema sa The Odisea. Marahil ang pinaka-kilalang halimbawa ng katapatan ay si Penelope at ang kanyang debosyon sa kanyang asawang si Odysseus. Kahit na ang kanyang asawa ay nawala sa loob ng dalawampung taon, siya ay tumangging mag-asawa ng alinman sa mga kabataan, kaakit-akit, mayaman na manliligaw na humingi ng kanyang kamay. Naniniwala siya sa kanyang puso na ang kanyang asawa ay buhay pa at ang kanyang katapatan ay ginantimpalaan nang sumigaw si Odysseus na siya ay nakarating na sa kanilang tahanan. Naniniwala ang lahat na si Odysseus ay dapat patay na dahil hindi pa rin siya nagbalik sa bahay. Ang mga tagasubaybay ay bumaba sa tahanan ni Penelope na sinisikap na manalo sa kanyang kamay. Anuman ang kanyang damdamin sa kanila at ang kanyang paniniwala na si Odysseus ay babalik sa kanya, nagpapakita siya ng mabuting pakikitungo sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahintulot sa mga manliligaw na manatili sa kanyang tahanan at gawin ang anumang nais nila. Upang gumawa ng anumang bagay na gusto nila, kahit na sa pinakamasamang mga bisita sa bahay, ay laban sa kanyang mabuting alituntunin. Gayundin, ang mga manliligaw ay mas malakas kaysa sa kanya at sa kanyang anak.
