*SCREAMS* -cough cough- (I’m empathizing with Odysseus rn)
And screaming, because I can’t believe that my favourite song from EPIC is released (No Longer You)

I think one of the most interesting thing about the use of “Ruthlessness” in The Underworld Saga is that in that song Poseidon is …. wrong. the line “you totally could’ve avoided all this if you’d just kill my son” is technically correct, but wasn’t Odysseus’ only option.
What actually lead to his death was his hubris - Gods in Greek Mythology aren’t omnipotent, so if Odysseus didn’t give him name, address and credit card info to the cyclops, then Poseidon wouldnt have been able to track him down and the rest wouldn’t have happened.
idk i think his character is so interesting and i think the musical does such a good just capturing it in the lyricism because like ,,,,, yeah idk this musical has been rotting my brain

"All i hear are screams" Because that's what he wants to hear. He's fine with people blaming him and yelling at him. He doesn't want to hear Polites gently singing his motto. He doesn't want to hear his mom's soft voice saying how much she loves him.
He wants to be hated and punished, he doesn't want to hear that they believed in him until the end.
So all he chooses to hear are screams

Epic: The Dog
Totally not wondering if they'll include the bit with the dog in the Ithaca Saga.
You know, Odysseus finally making it home, passes through the gates of his palace in disguise, yet his faithful dog Argos recognizes him because he's a good pupper.
Yet almost immediately after seeing him, Argos dies of old age because he was such a good pupper that he waited twenty years for his master to come home and not minute more.
Ithaca Saga...don't do this. The fans won't survive.

I’m like, personally offended that achilles wasnt in the underworld saga at all. the conversation he has with odysseus is really fun.
this segment from the odyssey is really cool, this is the first thing Achilles says to Odysseus in the underworld. He characterizes Odysseus by his wits, and simultaneously refers to him as “Incorrigible”.
Tumblr media
from here
Achilles and Odysseus are parallels. Achilles knew from the beginning he was never going to return home, and Odysseus’s journey home is literally Fucking Cursed to be deadly and dangerous. They are the mortal parallels to Ares and Athena, Wrath and Strategy. They are one in the same, and all too different.
here is another screenshot from that website describing odysseus and achilles’ conversation.
Tumblr media
Yeah i just really like them.

Odysseus: When have I ever done anything reckless or irresponsible?
Eurylochus: I have a list. It's alphabetized.

may I yap for a second?
The order of the questions of morals from Odysseus in monster makes sense
Why?
BECAUSE:
Tumblr media
First: he questions Polyphemus, which is all fine and dandy because cyclopses are viewed monsters and the questioning of the morals isn't too impactful.
Tumblr media
Then: Circe. It also makes sense since at first glance, she's doing wrong shit, but her actions are justified. She had been wronged, so she protects her nymphs from the harm she was put through
Tumblr media
Then: Poseidon. Which is intense. Because in ancient greece, the gods were above all, never to be questioned and always to be worshipped, never to be disrespected. Questioning one of the big 3 Gods is like Questioning the christian god up to the 16/1700s. (Presumably, idk)
Tumblr media
And last but not least: Odysseus himself. This is the most intense because he's a soldier who surely has killed and will kill the suitors. 108 men and more plus a baby he has killed without / with minor questioning. Questioning his morale and the justification of it is, for Odysseus, very intense because he killed people. He killed trojans. He will have killed the suitors. He killed a child.
ALSO!!!
Amrev Odyssey, the scene with Odysseus and his mom but it's Hamilton and his mom :3 think about that
LOVE THE YAPPING IN MY INBOX ALWAYS AND THIS IS SO?? /VPOS

In that same vein, I'm currently going feral over the fact that the prophecy Tiresias gives is speaking in the context of metaphor, or the mind, but because Odysseus is thinking so physically, because he's not a warrior of the mind right now, or isn't thinking like one at least, he can't understand the prophecy to its fullest. Color me gobsmacked. Good shit Mr. Jalapeño, good shit.
