Epic the Musical:
Athena: Please dad help Odysseus! I realized he is my good friend and needs help!
Zeus: Who? That shameful man I made him choose to kill himself or his men? Why would I do that? It was so fun!You just seek attention! I'll tell you what though; if you convince others then I shall release him! Let's play
Athena: *does that*
Zeus: How DARE you!
Zeus: *strikes her*
The Odyssey:
Athena: Please father how could you forget on Odysseus who was always pious to the gods?
Zeus: Me? Forget about him? How can I? He is like one of the best when it comes to sacrifices and respecting the gods.
Athena: Then why won't you help him?
Zeus: I have nothing against the man. But my hands are tied! He committed hubris and nemesis had to find him and my brother is pissed off at him. I can't do much.
Athena: I cannot face him but now he is away please help Odysseus at least escape Ogygia! Send Hermes to bring the message and I shall go to help his son! The prophecy needs to be fulfilled!
Zeus: you speak the truth. Let us try.
#honestly why! fucking why! 😭😭#epic and odyssey differences#like every media portraying zeus as a total jerk even in things like this#zeus was the embodiment of justice. he obayed the laws of cosmos#he never had something against Odysseus!#odysseus was beloved to the gods it was Poseidon that had true problem with him!#that was also essential part of the whole personality build up!#just a little runt#greek mythology#odysseus#the odyssey#tagamemnon#odyssey#homeric poems#homer#homeric epics#also...WHAT THE FUCK WITH THE “is she dead?”#like even Calypso clearly states “goddesses can't die”#but apparently fucking ATHENA gets other fucking OLYMPIANS worried she died?#even Dionysus who gets a random trip to the underworld every now and then rebirths#so not really death just a road trip lol#kinda like Deadpool#athena clearly defies zeus in fucking Iliad by siding with hera and gets away with it#like...can we have like SOMETHING of the Odyssey into a freaking ODYSSEY adaptation?#the only thing we kinda got so far was Calypso!#songs amazing as always melody-wise!#but at this point...WTF!?
