Mystic Odyssey - Underworld, Thunder Saga

Yuichi and Dysseus are almost out of the hidden city, but they have one more challenge to face before they are free.

One day I will figure out how many scars they have and where they are.

The Thunder Sage helped me figure what their outfits should look like. I guess that's what happens when some new songs from your favorite WIP musical are released and you spend a whole week pacing around your room making turtle based music videos in your head. and thanks to that I have come up with a new outfit and a character also I've had the idea of Dysseus losing an arm to match Leo for awhile but thanks to coming up with a cool shot in my brain while listening to to Different Beast.

tbh I love their designs in this drawing they really look so cool for depressed little fucked up boys in their 30s

Also I got rid of the scar on Dysseus's Plastron I once again changed something thanks to making music videos in my head 👍🏽

What if I'm the Monster?

(Based on Monster from Epic the Musical, it's incredible, give it a listen)

So! For the past few years, Danny has done nothing but defend Amity Park from Agressive Ghosts, Lunatic Ghost Hunters, and the GIW, all on his own. But no matter what he does, he is always seen as a Monster by the people of the town, just for being a Ghost.

Over the years he has lost a lot.

His Best Friend. His Mentor. His Mom.

Tucker was caught by the GIW and arrested for helping Phantom, and was never heard from again. His Parents still visit the Mayor's office for any word of him, but no one has any idea what happened.

Danny and Clockwork had a falling out after Danny refused to go down his intended path. He wanted to live his own life, one not predetermined by a Time God. Clockwork had told him that he would regret the decision, and left.

And his Mom had died after discovering his secret. She had surprisingly accepted him, but then the GIW had tried to capture him and she decided to defend him, and she got caught in the crossfire.

Every time Danny tried defending the people of Amity Park, he was vilified and hated even more. He would never be a Hero in their eyes, he was no Justice League. He had lost so much just defending them, but he couldn't bring himself to resent them, they didn't know what they were doing, it was how they were supposed to think. He still needed to defend them.

But he could no longer do so acting as the Hero.

Being a Hero stopped him from raiding the base that he assumed Tucker was being held in. Being a Hero led him to disagreeing with Clockworks advice. Being a Hero led to his Mom's death.

So he would be The Monster, instead.

I constantly have to remind myself that Percy Jackson, Epic the Musical and the Hades Games do not take place in the same universe.

So lately I’ve been seeing a lot of posts asking people to stop trying to make Odysseus look nice in their works cuz he’s a “messed-up person in the mythology”. Your opinion is valid however I have but one thing to point out:

You want to know who started all this? Who started to “make Odysseus look nice” in the first place?

It’s Homer. It’s nobody else but Homer himself.

A non-Homeric Odysseus would try to murder people out of his own interests. He’d murder Palamedes without remorse (and we’d be cheering over this but it’s a murder after all), he’d attempt to murder Diomedes just to get the Palladium himself, he’d volunteer to kill Astyanax…meanwhile you wouldn’t find any mention of either Palamedes or Nauplius in Homer’s poems, neither did he mention anything abt the Palladium heist (and Diomedes necessity did not happen until Conon’s version), the death of Astyanax, the distribution of war prizes, etc. And all the details in the Odyssey seemed to deny the existence of Nauplius’s vengeance at all, so Odysseus would not take any of the blame.

A non-Homeric Odysseus would be depicted as “cruel, treacherous”, meanwhile in book 10 of the Iliad Odysseus was not mentioned to have killed anyone during the marauding, neither did he promise Dolan anything at all. The negative interpretations are denied by these details subtly put by Homer.

A non-Homeric Odysseus would be widely known as a “coward” for only shooting arrows from afar. But Homer gave him a spear and had him absolutely slaying in both the Iliad and the Odyssey. That part of Ajax’s speech was invalid already.

Most importantly—a non-Homeric Odysseus would be having kids everywhere else, and the loyalty to his own wife as seen in the Odyssey is no where to be found. Meanwhile his lineage was a single-son line made by Zeus in the Odyssey, and his love for Penelope was one of his main drives, especially seen in book 5 of the Odyssey. He loved his family as a loving parent—something you don’t get to see in most of the non-Homeric writings—for most of the time they followed a different tradition indeed, in which Odysseus wasn’t half as nice as in the Odyssey.

TL;DR: in case you haven’t noticed, the characterization of the Homeric Odysseus was quite different from a non-Homeric version of Odysseus. It’s not that Homer didn’t know of the existence of other versions—he knew them too well, which is why in his version of the story, you don’t get to see any mention of them.

Hey :)

Do you have any musical recs for us? That's not Epic ofc

Keeping in the vein of Greek Mythology related music, I highly recommend Paris! It’s a rock musical that came out in 1990 about Paris and the Trojan war!

Also Hadestown. Listen to the official Broadway Cast Recording, the live recording, the 2010 Hadestown concept album- they are all amazing!!

And Ulysses Dies At Dawn, a super cool album (not fully a musical but it is) about Ulysses (Odysseus) and a lot of other mythological characters in a apocalyptic/dystopian setting! It’s so good!

If you want musicals that aren't strictly Greek mythology based, I personally really enjoy Newsies, Anastasia, Ride The Cyclone, and The Great Gatsby Musical!!!
