2 Days Until Odysseus Gets Home

Everytime I go back home to my cat I feel like Odysseus returning home from war.

Sobbing over Curiosity. Someone please bring her home dear god😭😭😭

CAPTAIN AHAB HAD ONE. JOB.

Love how the start of Odysseus is the same as the horse and infant

AAAAAAAAAA

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

Men use “I’m just a man” to cheat on their wives. Odysseus uses “I’m just a man” to kill, slay and torture people to get back to HIS wife. They are not the same.

To those who haven’t listened to Get in The Water without headphones, or who have but haven’t noticed this…

When you hear the voices Polites and Eurylochus’ shades, you hear Polites in your right ear and then Eurylochus in your left.

Then you hear Anticlea and Odysseus’ fleet in both ears.

I’m unwell :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Another thought on Epic the Musical, do you want to know one detail that kills me every time?

If you look at the titles of the songs, the ONLY songs that are named after characters are songs that are named after monsters that are trying to slaughter as many people as possible (like Polyphemus, Scylla, and Charybdis). No human character or even any god gets a song named after them, only the monsters do.

But (MINOR SPOILER AHEAD), do you know what song 38 is titled? Odysseus.

Odysseus, the man made monster, who has become something so far from his own humanity that he is counted within the ranks of the terrible monsters that came earlier in the story. Odysseus, who will absolutely be trying to slaughter as many suitors as possible when he returns to Ithaca.

It's such a small detail, but it gets me every time I think about it! Because not only has Odysseus become a monster in the eyes of the other characters, but he has become one in the eyes of THE VERY MUSICAL ITSELF!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!

I desperately need a rendition of “Survive” in Ithaka Saga’s song “King”. Let me hear Odysseus unleash his remaining rage and fury on the Suitors, the only things standing in between him and the end of his journey home.

Hey

You mates think that Odysseus’ voice is a bit hoarse or gravelly from shouting to fleets for 20 years of his life?

Just curious
