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

I desperately need to and WANT to finish reading The Odyssey, and I want to see Odysseus properly reunite with Penelope and Telemachus. I want to see him kill the suitors so badly and regain his home. Despite this I don’t want the book to end. I have four books (chapters) left but I dread finally closing the book.

Wild and wacky feeling if I do say so myself. I’ll probably finish it this week and then ugly cry about it.

Everytime I wish to put further emphasis on Odysseus, I make it my business to list every title and epithet Homer has given this man.

So I’ll be having a normal conversation and then I’ll drop “That tactful and guileful man, rugged, chestnut haired, broad shouldered, lying, gentle,royal Odysseus, son of Laertes, husband of Penelope, father of Telemachus, sacker of cities, sacker of Troy, King of Ithaka”.

I then realize I was so busy remembering every epithet that I no longer remember where the conversation was going.

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 :)

As I am listening to God Games, I has dawned on me that when Athena calls Ares out and tells him to hold his tongue, the following melody is the bit in Warrior of The Mind in which Athena is singing about young Odysseus. Ya know, the “one day a boy came for the thrill” bit.

Actively filing a complaint, going bonkers, screaming and crying. Jorge Riverra Herrans once again ripping our hearts out. He may continue doing so.

So I might be SUPER late to the party, but as I was once again listening to the entirety of Epic, it has dawned on me that Zeus’ “he will burn your house and home…” in The Horse and the Infant has the SAME EXACT MELODY as Siren Penelope’s “he will chase you high and low so find a place he’d never go…” in Suffering.

Jorge is a musical genius and I am going absolutely bonkers. Have a wonderful day.

It has come to my attention that my Odyssey brainrot is more than brainrot at this point. It is brain decomposition. I’m having a great time :)

Just got here. Let’s see what happens :)
