#That epic is not the odyssey

[backpackingspace]

I mm. I don't really like the last song of the vengeance saga. I know it makes sense narritive wise that odysseus would 1. Beat posiden and 2. Torture him into giving in. But like the way that yanked me out of the story? Because a mortal? Beat? Posiden? I just. Not a fan.

That being said there ARE some absolutely banger lines. 'How do you sleep at night?' 'Next to my wife' I DIED. That's such a good line. And the way posiden slowly goes from the ruthlessness is mercy to mercy ??? I'm going insane!

Rumour has it, although the King of Ithaca had returned to his shores, his throne remained empty for the better part of a year.

Was curious how far Ithaca was from troy today while listening to epic the musical and rereading the illiad and I found this map

I think odysseus would have been better just to walk😭

Odysseus: I am different, I am no longer the man you married, it's been 20 long years but if you could just fall in love with me again?

Penelope: if you can do something for me

Odysseus: anything

Penelope: move my wedding bed.

Odysseus: I can't, it's made out of a living tree, to move it I would have to destroy it. How can yo-

Penelope: oh, I thought we were asking each other stupid questions?

Odysseus:

Penelope: 'FaLl iN lOvE wItH mE aGaiN' to do that I would have had to stop loving you.
