Do you think in Suffering when the siren mistakes Telemachus for Odysseus’s daughter instead of his son it’s because when she peeks into his mind, she sees Telemachus as Ody last saw him, and he was a baby that looked just like Penelope? And the siren went yup, baby’s basically a mini of its mom, must be a girl.
And then as he matures, Telemachus begins to look more and more like his dad. So when Odysseus gets back its total whiplash because what happened to his mini Penelope?
In Odysseus’s mind, when he thinks of how his son must look he has his mothers face, her eyes and her smile, her gentleness and strength.
And Penelope gets to watch her son grow up to be the spitting image of his dad and it’s so wonderful and so heartbreaking because it makes her miss him even more
It’s a little bit torturous for both of them but they also treasure him because they always so wanted their son to be a little version of the one they love most

So I’ve been obsessing over Epic the musical. It makes me wish so much that I had any skill in the animation department because while I love seeing all of the animatics come out, I have such specific images in my head that I want to share.
So since I have no time to learn digital art/animation rn (I say like it’s easy🙄) I’ll just share some stuff here and hope I can describe it properly. So now, please excuse my rambling:
The main thing I’ve been thinking about is the Gods creating little illusion of humans when they’re trying to make a point.
Like in God Games when Athena goes “please reconsider this” I know she’s brought Aphrodite into her quick thought, but I always see her creating a little illusion of Penelope and Telemachus waiting for their family to be whole again. Penelope keeping her strength while dying inside and Telemachus fumbling through keeping her safe from the suitors and taking on tasks that he’s too young and inexperienced to handle. She makes the little illusion of them and drifts them towards Aphrodite, trying to appeal to her sense of love and family. Showing her another mother/wife who is suffering and the child who needs and longs for the guidance of his father. Aphrodites expression softens the slightest bit, wavering at the sight, and that’s when Ares comes in, destroying Athena’s illusion and pulling her into his quick thought.
Another one I have now is in Get in the Water.
“I’ll raise the tides so high, all of Ithaca will die”
I want Poseidon to manipulate the water into a version of Ithaca and force Odysseus to watch is be destroyed. Put him in it, his people drowning around him screaming for him to help just like his crew did.
“I’ll make tidal waves so profound, both your son and your wife will drown”
And it’s Penelope holding baby Telemachus before they’re washed away in a violent wave
“I’ll take your son and gouge his eyes”
It’s Poseidon holding a water construct of Telemachus by the throat and ripping his eyes out. Odysseus’s expression flashes from amazement/longing at the first look of what his son looks like after all these years to horror as Poseidon shows him exactly what he’ll do to his child.
There’s just so much potential to expand on the visual torture Odysseus endures in this. Make him scared to live through all of the horror he’s seeing twice. Make him live in fear that any illusion he experiences is prophesy from the gods just like the one he experienced in The Horse and the Infant when Zeus showed what would happen if he let Astynax live.
I also imagine in Love in Paradise, before Odyssey goes “I don’t belong here, there’s something wrong here. I won’t be drawn to love in paradise,” things get hazy for him. The island and landscape shifts into the most beautiful, ideal paradise (haha) he could ever imaging. His eyes go a little cloudy, he becomes a little drowsy, more complacent as her spell tries to sink in. He has to shake out of it fight to keep his head. I imagine Calypso uses spells like this throughout their time together.
On a lighter note (maybe), Legendary/Little wolf ends/starts with Antinous seated and smug. His smirk falls when Telemachus turns away from him, hoping for a sign. Other suitors shove Telemachus to get his attention again and he stumble, turning back to them, nervous that they’ll all attack him at once. They shove a weapon in his hands. The fight starts with swords and Telemachus once again gets his ass beat. His sword is knocked from his hands. Antinous pulls back to deliver a final (possibly deadly) blow, and that’s when Athena steps in. He pushes back some of the suitors, repositions Telemachus’s stance, enhances his vision and reflexes, and pushes him forward. He uppercuts, Antinous drops his weapon. Telemachus does much better in a fist fight with Athena’s help than with the sword, which he’s never been all that confident with. I see a lot of quick evasion and intention jabs on his part, causing more damage than anyone thought he would. But yes, it does end with the Antinous KO punch and Telemachus retreating, but I like the transition for weapons to fist fight. The fight choreo goes so hard in my head lol
Anyway, these are just a few thoughts. I’ll probably come back with more later, but thanks for letting me share🫶

Literally all of the rest of us:
“Babe just go for it—”
“This is art school no cares—”
“It’s actually a pretty lucrative industry—”
