So in Epic Poseidon rlly did give an ultimatum like you either “get in the water” or face the fate of all of Ithaca drowning along with his wife and son…

And Odysseus rlly did get in the water. Satisfied?

I’d say so. I’d say Poseidon in Epic was pleased enough to see Odysseus drowning. I’d say this is the moment where Poseidon did decide to leave his kingdom and family alone, since he’s got what he wanted already—Odysseus in the water, struggling for breath, for his dear life. The rest of the thing is just between Odysseus and Poseidon, with no one else as a price.

#as for Odysseus? He’d probably thought that through already #no more retaliation—just between two foes already tired of waiting and fighting #(it may or may not be appropriate to establish the both of them as foes but it’s a musical after all so I’ll give it that)#anyways at the end of the day a fight is in order and Poseidon knew that. He was expecting the fight the moment he saw Odysseus still alive #and seems like in Epic he did want a fight. And it’s more like another Ovidian competition instead of straight up fighting #and then Odysseus prevailed (method debatable) but still found himself toyed by the god #he was damn tired of everything. He knew the god was already making it personal. He had to play Poseidon’s game till the very end #so…stabbing it is?#epic the musical #epic the vengeance saga #epic odysseus #epic poseidon #the vengeance saga #600 strike #six hundred strike #get in the water
