Do You Guys Think Odysseus Could Do Math? Discuss, Go Crazy.

The possibly Odyssean task of figuring out what’s for dinner.

“Let me interrogate the pantry. I’m thinking of pasta”

Pantry is borderline empty, so is the fridge. Theres Orzo but I made orzo yesterday.

“Ok what about rice and eggs”

Barely any eggs in the fridge

“Ok what about chicken”

No chicken.

“Okay what about potatoes?”

No potatoes

“Let me then make some mango sticky rice”

No mangoes. No coconut milk.

So now I have to go get mangoes and coconut milk, but I also just need to go grocery shopping because the kitchen is BARREN.

Literally we only get a hair color and it’s chesnut brown…which doesn’t narrow it down as much as we’d like

What the fuck is wrong with Homer like yeah I get it Odysseus has big boobs and thighs WHAT WAS HIS HAIR COLOR WHAT WAS HIS EYE COLOR MAN CONCENTRATE

Literally 99.98% of the files in the cabinet: yapping about or analyzing Greek Mythos adjacent content

The other 0.02%: pirates yar har

THIS JUST IN: Hephaestus’ “Trust is not given its forged” has the same exact melody as Scylla’s chorus lines such as “choke on your blood and your tears”.

I’ll be here all night

Also props to Mr. Herrans as Hephaestus he did a wonderful job :)

Wow, what an odyssey, it was truly... epic

the most insane thing about moby dick is that i have never, ever felt more of a personal connection with a narrator - in the way that i feel like ishmael really is telling me the story. that i'm some stranger that happened to sit beside him, maybe ask his name, and suddenly he's taken my hand and telling me his story. except he suddenly disappears from his story, and it barely seems about him anymore. it's about the crew, it's about queequeg, it's about the young boy pip, it's about starbuck and the family he'll never see again, it's about ahab, it's about the ship, it's about the brutality of the whaling industry, it's about the beauty of these men who take it on, and the beauty of the creatures they hunt, and it's about god and how small and insignificant we are. and suddenly ishmael allows himself back into the story but it doesn't change anything. everything and everyone is dead and gone. 'and i only am escaped alone to tell thee.' the drama's done and the sea rolls on just as it did 5,000 years ago. the story is all ishmael has left of them. it's all he can give you. 'do you understand?' ishmael is asking you. 'can you bear the weight of their story? when remembering is all we can do to give any of this meaning? can you give any of this meaning?' and it's too late for you. you carry the story now, too. now you have to remember. grieve and remember and give it meaning.

Patroclus’ shade singing a soft and comforting song to the mourning Achilles.

When Patroclus fights Hector in Achilles’ armor we hear Achilles’ musical motif instead because Pat is in disguise.

A song for Odysseus where he schemes up the Trojan horse and we hear his motif in the background kinda like in the sacking of Troy in Epic.

You could probably call it “Ilia” since that’s what the acheans call Troy.

I see your vision and I will help expand it. Someone get Jorge lol

with epic wrapping up, I've been thinking that it'd be pretty cool if Jay made a musical about the Iliad.

No idea what it'd be called but I think it'd be cool.

It'd also be cool get God Games 2.0 where Hera beats the crap out or Artemis with her own bow, along with the other stuff the Iliad has to offer.

We could also add Polites and Eurylochus to get a feel for what their time fighting was like. Along with maybe some Achilles/Patroclus, Cassandra, the dynamics between Agamemnon and Menelaus and Hector and Paris, Helen and Menelaus' reunion, etc.

And once that musical wraps up if could lead into Horse and The Infant

Do y'all see my vision-

AAAAAAAAAA

I cant be the only one who sees a face on the water here right????? Right???????

When “The Challenge” finally drops methinks it’ll have a chokehold on me for 100 years

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