I keep seeing posts about how in WYFILWMA, Penelope sings “waiting” 8 times in accordance with how many sagas she has been waiting for our main man Odysseus to return home.
Unless I’m going crazy, Penelope only says “waiting” at the end 7 times.
I even looked up the lyrics am I just losing it???
“Watch where the birds fly, they will lead us to land, there we’ll hunt for food my second in command”
Says that tactful and guileful man, gentle, royal, rugged, Odysseus, MASTER MARINER, and King of Ithaca.
Ody…my guy…
The birds will lead you to food.
Seagulls gather in flocks above water when there are fish near the surface.
FISH YOU CAN EAT.
BUDDY.
RAMSHACKLE A FISHING ROD. FOOD IS RIGHT THERE. USE SPEARS IF SO DESIRED.
I adore Odysseus, but I’m losing it actively, I do believe.

I desperately need “Be Your Light” to return in Illion the musical. Like…imagine if it was a Penelope song???? Something to keep Odysseus going through the Trojan war as a little reminder??? A reason he keeps going???
Imagine instead of “hey there bro don’t you know” from Polites, we get “Oh my love, don’t you know” from Penelope.
Actively filing a request to Jorge
Minding my own business re-listening to Warrior of the Mind, and I noticed some fun details
Firstly: The “danger is close” motif plays when Odysseus is telling Athena to show herself.
Secondly: Once it’s been confirmed that our main man Ody has gaslit Athena, his motif plays after he does his lil laugh (because he just outwitted Athena). Additionally, his motif continues into the “You are Athena!” Portion of WOTM.
I might be late once again but I think it’s neat. Jorge loves his recurring melodies and motifs and I do not blame him :)
The way it ends with Odysseus going "Well, that was it. My journey. Or should I say...Odyssey. Heh, I like the sound of that." ???? UUUUUGGHHH this musical is soooo goood
I can only really listen to the first three Ithaca songs in full because the last two absolutely shattered every fiber of my being.
Hey so…
Is it me or does Telemachus’ reassurance to Athena kind of remind anyone of Polites, especially with the kind of lighthearted instrumental?
I might be going even more bonkers

Greek mythos brainrot is so bad that Odysseus king of Ithaka can grow mushrooms using my neurons
