[notprometheus]

Polyphemus: For your gift, I have one to reply.

Eury: Sir, please don’t.

Ody: Sorry Eurylochus, but I have to.

Eury: oh gods help us.

Ody: I’m so glad we see eye to EYE.

Poly: …….. I’m going to kill all of you now.

Ody: well that could’ve gone better.

Actually going insane over all the melodic motifs in the Ithaca Saga because what do you mean "keep your head down, he's aiming for the torches" is sung the same way as "keep your friends close and your enemies closer", what do you mean Odysseus's name is sung in the danger motif the same way Polyphemus's was, what do you mean the danger motif plays when Penelope asks Odysseus to move the bed, what do you mean Athena's motif mixes with Legendary when Telemachus arrives, what do you mean an instrumental of Little Wolf plays when he fights the suitors, what do you MEAN-

No stageplay can compare to this

Shepherd/Stayed back Polites

Okay so immediately, I feel the need to explain my Polyphemus design- I was gonna make him more like the depictions other Epic artists do, but after looking up a bundle of references for cyclops’ this general design kept appearing. After a while I finally thought it’d be interesting to lean in this direction since I never see it. Okie! General story time:

So in this version, Ody still shot the sheep, but before Polyphemus could drink the wine Polites interrupts and shows he aided the sheep. Therefore, it was still alive. Polyphemus is conflicted cause now his reason to kill the crew has vanished, but he still wants payback of some sort. So he settles on keeping Polites and letting the other men go. A few months into living there, Poseidon does eventually show up and is confused why this random man is here. But the two end up becoming friends and perchance even romantic >w> You will suffer my PosePoli propaganda whether ya like it or not. Ody and Eury do occasionally show up just to visit Polites, but it’s kinda rare.

Here are my most recent doodles of them:

And then doodles from whenever I first made the au:

Manwhore AU headcanon

I like to believe Manwhore Ody got home shortly after the war ended because he didn't have to deal with any of the bullshit that canon Ody has to deal with.

Like imagine: if only he seduced his way out of the whole Polyphemus situation, he wouldn't have pissed off Poseidon, meaning he would've got home pretty much immediately.

I'm not even saying he had to fuck Poly (he'd die), but he could've used his babygirl looks or something. Be like "I'm sorry about your sheep, pookie *bats eyelashes*", but no. He just had to abandon all reason and blind the cyclops before telling him his full legal name and address.

Epictober Day 6: Polyphemus

“You killed my sheep… my favorite sheep…”

HOW IRONIC I FINISHED THIS JUST AS JORGE RELEASED THE VENGEANCE SAGA TRAILER

If anyone is curious, I wanted to make sure my epic monsters actually looked… well… monstruous. I didnt want to do the tradicional cyclop: big man with one eye. I wanted something animalistic, and being Polyphemus a son of Poseidon I thought “why not a marine animal?”

And then it hit me: SEA TURTLES. Big sea turtle with cyclopy (common in turtles actually). Hell yeah.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Bro the type of dad to treat your wounds and accidentally place the sticky part of the band-aid directly over it instead of the padded part.

“mercy saga” au

Back on my bullshit,

CYCLOPS SAGA

the cyclops saga begins with the song Polyphemus.

Odysseus and his men enter the cave that the lotus eaters directed them to. Odysseus shoots one of the sheep within the cave, and a cyclops enters and blocks the exit with a boulder. The cyclops, Polyphemus, is furious that they entered his home and killed his friend. Odysseus offers him wine (that is heavily drugged with lotus fruit) in return for their exit. Polyphemus agrees, but is enraged when he tastes the lotus.

Then, Survive and Remember Them.

The cyclops attacks. He swings his club and kills several of the men, including Perimedes, who is too slow and still under the effects of the Lotus. Odysseus, believing the bloodied mess to be Polites, is stunned by the loss of his friend.

Polyphemus eventually passes out from the drugged wine, and they blind him by sharpening his club into a spear.

Athena tells Odysseus to kill Polyphemus after they’ve escaped with his sheep, and Odysseus complies. Before Polyphemus’ death, he reveals his name and title. Using his last breath, Polyphemus calls out for his father to avenge him.

The cyclops saga ends with My Goodbye.

Athena urges Odysseus to make a sacrifice to Poseidon, since they will be sailing home on his waves and they failed to sacrifice before leaving Troy. Odysseus, grief stricken and spiteful, refuses, claiming the god of the sea has not helped them. Athena is disgruntled by his ignorant and prideful refusal, and leaves.

Next up…
