POVs are so interesting, since I was introduced to EPIC I’ve reread Circe and gone back to finish a trilogy that I gave up a few weeks ago, and my opinion on Odysseus keeps on fluctuating because of it

*listens to Epic*: I like this dude, he’s smart, chill, and loves his wife

*reads circe*: this guy is such an asshole, why is he a hero and why do people like him.

*listens to Epic*: nahhh he’s chillll, he has a good voice and he actually loves his family :3

*reads Pallas*: if this guy doesn’t leave the page this instant I am throwing the book against the wall. How could anyone like his dumbass. He’s a liar and trickster who doesn’t actually love his wife. Why would Athena ever chose his ass over Big Ajax

*listens to Epic*: ….this man is a good father and husband who cares about his mother… :)

Did Epic! The Musical get you in a Greek Mythology mood?

I've always loved Greek mythology, well, any type of mythology. I find tales and beliefs from around the world fascinating and a great way to learn about different cultures. I also love musicals, to me it's a great way to find more music, I am constantly looking for new sounds. When I found Epic, I was ecstatic, it was a blend of the two things I love. So, I put together a list of books, podcasts, musicals (one other I know of), and shows if you need more Greek myths thanks to this musical.

Let's Talk About Myths Baby

I LOVE this podcast, this is the only one I listen to faithfully, she retells the stories like you're 2 friends going out for drinks, (she even retells the Odessey, so you don't have to read it) She finds the oldest versions of the stories to get as close to the original as possible.

2. Hadestown the Musical

This musical follows the Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice. This is an underrated musical, the animatics are just as good as the ones for Epic so give it a listen.

3. Circe and The Song of Achilles both written by Madeline Miller

In his story, Odysseus meets both Circe and Achilles, but they have their own stories as well. The author didn't stray too far from the original myths, so I recommend giving both these books a try.

4. Lore Olympus written by Rachel Smythe

Now that the Webtoon is finished I don't mind recommending it. Webtoon is free to use, and you don't have to pay to read so if you don't like this version of Hades a Persephone then hey, nothing to lose. The art, comedy, colors, and character growth in this comic version of the tale. There are also physical copies, but you have to buy those.

5. Blood of Zeus on Netflix

The art in this Netflix series is beautiful and the story, not to mention the character designs! Only downside is there are only two seasons for now.

6. Hades- Switch game

Last but not least, if you like video games this one is perfect for you. Zagreus who is the son of Hades is trying to escape from the Underworld.
