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!

#epic the musical #epic the vengeance saga #vengeance saga spoilers #Odysseus #Posiden #I just i can't suspend the disbelief for this one folks #And I know I know I know they're different stories #That epic is not the odyssey #And that at this point in the story it would be hard to make a musical for #Like what are you going to sing about odysseus washing ashore a safe harbor and then sleeping for nine days straight?#But in the odyssey odysseus is strangely reverent and religious given how he interacts with Athena #But with every other god including posiden he's very very religious #And while they're are some minor gods a mortals man can force into submission posiden isn't one of them #Also like odysseus lives on a port island?? What's he going to do for the rest of his life as posiden wrecks the island shit???#I'm thinking too much about this of course #Ironically this song also now has some of my favorite lines so

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