#Odysseus too

[babushka-of-chaossss]

Guys… we have yet to see Penelope, yes we hear her motif, yes we see her as a siren, yes Odysseus hallucinates her a couple times… but we never actually see her at least not yet

so the first time we’ll see Penelope will be in the challenge, which is the first song of the Ithica saga

[iridescenttttttt]

if I was one of the people on (Epic) Odysseus’ crew and I heard Scylla go ‘hello’ like that I’d personally take all 6 of the torches

Is it considered plagiarism if you're copying your own comic?

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)

I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.

Penelope: I think I’m in love with Odysseus…

Ctimene: ...

Penelope: Any thoughts?

Ctimene: And prayers. You’re going to need them.

A sneak peak I guess? Will not really be a a sandwich but I think you ppl gonna eat it anyway.

This is the reason why I can never finish my Thunder Bringer animatic.

[kattortillas]

so are we gonna talk about how odysseus' motif during THAT part of love in paradise is played by a single string per note. its not chords. just single string. bc hes hanging on a thread. his last thread.
