Everyone who either has listened to the Ithaka Saga already or who plans on listening to it PLEASE DO NOT GIVE SPOILERS. Despite the Odyssey being a well known tale, we don’t know Jorge’s plans with the saga. Please please PLEASE be considerate.

yall please don’t have an epic meltdown. This is honestly for the better, it being Christmas Eve and all that. Enjoy the food and family, or enjoy however you are doing right now!!!

DON'T PANIC ABOUT THE MISSING LIVE!!

They were having internet issues when they tried gaming the other day, and according to my friend, Ithaca also had to deal with a typhoon!

The stream was most likely canceled for these reasons! Hopefully all is well. :)

(Reblog to spread the word maybe!)

regarding the ithaca saga

this is no one's fault

please please please dont be mad at jorge

#remoteislandthings

this is just another hiccup. you can be upset about the stream not happening right now. ykw who's probably more upset about it? jorge. hes done all this for us, to give us a good experience.

so BE NICE and be PATIENT winions

please and thamk you

Mates take a pill ever so kindly. The stream has been canceled as confirmed by Jorge. It sucks, but it’s something out of his control. I have a suspicion that everyone screaming “Captain!!!” Will make whatever it is more stressful.

Mates! Odysseus returns home! TONIGHT! Ithaca Saga watch party is tonight at 9pm EST!

Tomorrow, Odysseus will be home.

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

2 days until Odysseus gets home

Rip odysseus you would’ve loved joining jorge rivera-herrans on his trip to ithaca to celebrate the release of the final saga of epic the musical the ithaca saga coming out december 25th 2024

Me on December 25th:

3 days until Odysseus comes home.

THIS GOES CRAZYYYYYYY

I haven't really seen anyone talk about this, which could simply mean I'm not chronically online enough, BUT let's point out a particularly chilling parallel I recently noticed in Epic: The Musical.

So, in the Circe Saga, we open up with the lovely song Puppeteer. We've talked about it, we've fawned over it, we all know every word to this song, I'm sure. But as I was listening to it last night (woohoo, statistics homework), a few lines stuck out to me that hadn't really before. Eurylochus is trying to convince Odysseus to just pack up and leave, and Ody replies with,

"Of course I'd like to leave now. Of course I'd like to run. But I can hardly sleep now, knowing everything we've done."

Which, you know, makes sense. Our guys have been at war for 10 whole years, at the conclusion of which our boy Ody drops an infant off a wall. But then, much later, comes 600 Strike (another banger of a song). And what is the exchange at the end of this song?

"After everything you've done, how will you sleep at night?"

"Next to my wife."

Like.

Bro.

That line went hard regardless of literally anything else when I first listened to the song, but now taking in the greater context of the whole musical? The fact that Odysseus himself at one point spoke of how he could hardly sleep because of his actions?? And is now so far off the deep end that it doesn't even cross his mind anymore???

I just about lost my ever-loving MIND last night when it all hit me. Anyways, here's my small contribution to the fandom.

4 days until Odysseus gets home

I think I had a dream the other day that Jorge confirmed the Boon of Ares Theory for 600 strike in one of his yapping sessions.

GUYS GALS AND FOLKS INBETWEEN NEW ALBUM ART JUST DROPPED GO CHECK JORGES CHANNEL

FULL SPEED AHEAD MATES

AAAAAAAAAAA

There are so many books I want to read, but alas, I am SO BUSY.

Odysseus for the entirety of the Iliad and Odyssey.

The ending of mutiny kind of reminds me of “think mark, think!” From Invincible.

“These were Helios’ cattle, and now you’ve killed one! Who will Helios send??? Think Eurylochus, think!”

Suitor slaughter (tm)

(Fr though this painting is very nice)

Odysseus and Telemachus Slaughter the Suitors of Penelope

Do you guys think Odysseus could do math? Discuss, go crazy.

a story in two parts!

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

The horrors persist, but so does Odysseus and his love for his wife.

So mates…

How’re we feeling?

To all of you who are able to see The Return today, have fun. I hope you all enjoy the movie, and that Odysseus’ return to the big screen does not disappoint.

Hera: With war about to break out, we need to start thinking about strategy. In that case, I’ll defer to you- Are there any heroes you have an eye on?

Athena: Oh, I’m delighted you asked!

Athena: (slams two full four inch binders on the table)

Athena: So, this here is Diomedes, King of Argos. Now I know he’s seems a bit young, but he has more experience than most of the others put together! Here, have a look over his resume.

Hera: My goodness, taking Thebes, and at such a young age? That is noteworthy. A good choice, I think. Is there anyone else?

Athena: Yes! This is Odysseus. He is the King of Ithaca and he lies constantly.

Hera:

Athena: It’s hilarious.

Hera: Well, maybe he’s more impressive in person. I’ll just go down and take a peek-

Hera: Athena, I don’t wish to alarm you, but your mortal has yoked a donkey to an ox, and is sowing salt into the beach. Stark naked.

Athena: Oh, don’t worry about that. He’s only pretending to be mad. He doesn’t want to go to war, and is trying to get out of it.

Hera:

Athena: Obviously I’m not going to let him get away with it, but isn’t that clever of him?!

Epic is the stars I see at night and Epic is the arms that hold me tight

Current mood: the long, belting note at the end of the Love in Paradise “cliff scene”

You mates know the one

I have like…0 expertise in music, but I WILL find a way to make a motif for Achilles just for me. Just because I want to. For my little hypothetical Ilion the musical.

Achilles’ instrumental motif would have to be something that can be played slowly for elegance, but also rapidly and can be distorted to truly encapsulate his rage. Something similar to how Odysseus’ motif and instrument (guitar) can be sped up, slowed down, and distorted to show his caring, wits, and ruthlessness.

Achilles is a great warrior, but also a musician. We see him drag Hector’s body around Troy, but we also see him gracefully playing his lyre to Patroclus. My current thought is that maybe Achilles’ instrument could be a violin. It’s graceful, can be played in high action scenes, and we have that lovely distortion of the instrument that can work beautifully when used properly. Oh yeah and it has an electric counterpart which Jorge can use for more supernatural moments in the story…or something like that.
