The Most Insane Thing About Moby Dick Is That I Have Never, Ever Felt More Of A Personal Connection With

Bless Jorge and the cast, they’re so sweet and silly.

Going to war for 10 years and will take another 10 years to return to Ithaka where my wife and son wait for me (I’ll be gone for a week, it’ll feel like a month, and my cat and dogs have little to no sense of time I fear)

Something that I greatly respect Jorge for, is putting all of these little Easter eggs in each Epic song. Aside from listening to them on repeat because they slap, you can also listen to them on repeat and notice details in the music that you never knew were there.

Welcome home, Odysseus. Penelope has missed you…

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

Because my brain isn’t decomposing fast enough with all of my Odyssey content, I have decided to make a playlist for songs that remind me of Odysseus.

So far I only have two songs, but I’m trying to expand on this playlist and am inquiring on any recommendations. I will have at minimum one Epic song I just don’t know which one yet.

For vibe example the two songs I’ve got are Leave a Light On by Papa Roach, and Ulysses by Josh Garrels.

I will be taking as many recommendations as I can

Dear god, it’s been months, but Legendary still has me in a chokehold😭😭😭

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

Good theory👍

So

A friend mentioned to me that Poseidon's trumpets mimic Ares' instrument in 600 strike and that Ares might have blessed Ody in the moment (Shout-out @dysphanic-redshift) and asked me why I thought that might be

In the myths, as far as I remember, Ctimene is a Warrior of Ares, while Ody is Athena's Warrior. Since Ody was so close to being reunited with Ctimene, knowing Ares, there was no way Ares was going to let Poseidon interrupt the reunion of his Warrior and his sister's warrior, hence the blessing

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-
