Zombie apocalypse odysseus and telemachus!

[madbard]

Athena’s journey from the cold-blooded warrior who only worked with the best of the best and refused to admit she had a friend, to the defender who saved a young man from an uneven fight, to the goddess who laid down her pride and ultimately begged for Odysseus’ life and freedom… just… (screams into pillow)

[tempest-of-chaos]

Apollo and Hephaestus though??? They did not want to be there, they just wanted it overwith. "Here's an argument, oh no you disagree, release him sure idc" and that's honestly so iconic of them. They just want her to stop bothering them.

"Did Athena just... die?"

"You know, it was really unclear."

THE WAY HE CALLS OUT TO ATHENA AT THE END OF LOVE IN PARADISE.

HE SCREAMS TO THE SKY BEGGING FOR HELP. HE'S PLEADING FOR HER TO HELP HIM. ITS BEEN SEVEN YEARS. HE'S STILL NOT HOME. HE'S ON THE LEDGE, BEGGING. THE KING OF ITHACA IS BEGGING

It's so funny how everytime someone said Ody in the stream people were so excited except for when Calypso said it at The Cliff where the chat was going "YOU DONT HAVE ODY RIGHTS"

[purrassicjet]

Us: Wow isn't it so awesome that Jorge is changing things in the source material to fit a different story this is so fun

Us, watching Athena die: NOT LIKE THAT

[vint-knight]

God Jorge even outdid himself in this saga, him near the ending of "Love In Paradise" almost got me to cry, like holy shit man and his "ATHENA!" it's so desperate and just sad, like he's letting out one last prayer of hope to his mentor, his friend.

Good to know that Eurylochus has started to haunt the narrative with his buddy polites

[madbard]

Gotta love how Odysseus tells Calypso “I’m no pet, I’m a married man” in the most threatening way possible. He could have said “I’m a ruthless warrior” or “I’m a murderer.” But no. He’s married.

[tempest-of-chaos]

In the beginning of God Games Zues calls Odysseus a man full of shame. Then at the end he accused Athena of trying to make him feel shame. But she didn't, she never directly blames Zues, she doesn't even tell him he went too far. He saw her fighting for him, he saw how much she cared, he felt shame on his own. He was ashamed. And he didn't like that. He was so angry, because Athena made him ashamed.

So, Jorge, are you paying for my therapy pill after nearly crying during my relisten of Love In Paradise???

[drinkingmelonwater]

Calypso: but fear not, i bring no pain

Also calypso: *deals the most soul crushing, trauma-inducing pain to ody for 7 years*

hey you know what would be like. the WORST possible thing? if no time had passed for mortals during God Games. if the entire time, Odysseus had just been frozen on that ledge. and at the start of the Vengeance Saga, Ody's still on the ledge. he looks to the skies, to the trees, out over the ocean. he looks for an owl with knowing eyes and strains to hear her voice over the waves, because surely, surely she'd come for him. the haven't spoken in nine years and he ruined whatever relationship they had when he stupidly, foolishly let the cyclops live, but she has to still care, right? she was his mentor. she was his patron. he meant something to her. he's sure of it

but she's not there. he waits, but she's not there. he closes his eyes, sparing himself the view, and steps off the ledge

and is saved by Hermes. and Odysseus briefly thinks that he has died, since Hermes escorts souls to the underworld. but Hermes assures him that, no, he's alive, Athena heard him, she bargained with Zeus, he can go home now. he can finally go home

his friend came through
