Concept for Young Antinous!

He was a nobleman (of low rank) and not as much as the asshole we know in the future. Antinous was still a hothead, so, unluckly for him, he got into a fight the very previous night before the King of Ithaca chose the men to go to war against the trojans. And despite his insistence, the King rejected him.

Antinous felt dissapointed. All his life training to get a name for himself, wasted in one night and one decision.

But the day later, when he saw the beautiful young Queen saying goodbye to the brave warriors...

Well

Maybe it wasn't that bad that the King left for war...

You've heard of Zeury, poliseidon

Behold Antilypso.

They deserve each other fr fr. I can picture Antinous thinking being trapped with Calypso is better than death, but gets proven wrong. He assumes he can easily take control, so when he can’t he despises it.

Quick antinous concept bbrr (he has 2 hands I just got lazy and didn't draw the other)

[vint-knight]

Antinous: *pops into the Underworld* What the fuck was that?, did I just get interrupted in the middle of my final note!? *Checks for any obolus and sighs* Great, now I have to wai-

*600 souls appear before him*

Antinous: *jumps back* What the fuck!?

*The 600 souls slightly separate to give Eurylochus and Polites to step through, Polites and Eurylochus give a hateful glare at Antinous*

Eurylochus: Before you ask, I'm Odysseus's former brother-in-law...

Polties: And I'm his best friend...

Antinous: ..... *Immediately dashes for it but remembers he can't go anywhere*

Polties: Brothers *lets out a gleeful grin and cracks his knuckles* let's greet our friend with "open arms"

*A loud amount of painful screams ensue*

The Controversy of Antinous and Calypso: a Survivor’s Perspective

MAJOR trigger warning for uncensored discussion of sexual assault, rape, and sexual abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting. Read on ONLY if you’re in the right headspace.

Disclaimer I: This is about Epic and its fandom, not the Odyssey.

Disclaimer II: I am not the voice of all sexual abuse survivors. This is my opinion and mine alone.

Calypso and Antinous are, from my experience, the two most controversial figures in Epic, and it’s not hard to see why. Sexual assault and abuse are a challenging topic for most people, and it’s hard to portray it properly in media. Some people believe it shouldn’t exist in any fiction. However, I have very strong feelings to the contrary—SA is an extremely important topic to discuss, for the protection and education of all people.

Let’s start with Calypso. Her songs are less explicit with it, but word of god and word of Homer generally agree that she was sexually abusive towards Odysseus. Despite this, she’s shown in a light that some people consider to be too soft, too sympathetic, but I believe this light to be entirely artificial. She may be complex and have her own struggles, but throughout the entirety of Love in Paradise, it is made increasingly clear that Calypso is in complete control and awareness of her actions. She plays with Odysseus like a puppet, and her presence is oppressive, even stifling. There’s an obvious power imbalance between the two.

Not Sorry for Loving You may be the more controversial of the two songs, as some people might see it as making light of her actions, but remember: this is from Calypso’s perspective. She is responding to his departure by attempting to paint herself as sympathetic. I’ve been a victim of this treatment multiple times—“I’m sorry you felt hurt by my actions, but you’re actually hurting me, I need you. Stay.” It’s a real abuse tactic. This song is portraying real abuse. Calypso may genuinely think she loves him, but it is still abuse, and she knows what she is doing. Odysseus, in saying “I love you, but not in the way you want me to,” is not expressing genuine love. He is attempting to placate her so she’ll leave him alone and he can get the hell out of there. I’ve done the exact same thing so I wouldn’t get hurt.

Now, Antinous. Oh, god, where do I start. The other antagonists are horrible, but he is disgusting. Now, where he’s controversial is that many consider his plan to rape Penelope to be gratuitous and unnecessary, and some people say he’s not given enough motive. Some people say that it feels like a shock move, and that’s a valid perspective. However, I’ll raise you: actual rape is NEVER for a good reason. It is never necessary, and it is ALWAYS gratuitous. The only motive is to exert power, one way or another.

This doesn’t come out of nowhere—even in Legendary, he has this plan stewing in his head. He was disgusting and creepy from the start. It didn’t come out of nowhere. He’s always been entitled. He has a long-standing fantasy of power, and he knows he can use Penelope to get to it. That’s what he does. He uses people. He’s not tragic like the sirens and Scylla, or jaded but kind like Circe, or trying to protect his own like Polyphemus. He’s just evil. And arguably, that is very realistic—some people don’t have a sad backstory. They just suck.

I hope this was comprehensible. I’m lowkey exhausted lol

#THESUITORS |★| :

◆ #Headcanon ;

- Antinous se mueve mucho mientras duerme porque sueña con puras peleas.

- Amphinomus tiene sueño pesado y ronca mucho.

- Eurymachus habla dormido (Sonámbulo en potencia).

- Los tres son delicaditos que se niegan a dormir en el suelo por orgullo,asique duermen juntos en esas ocaciones.

Y Melanthius...Le da igual dormir en el suelo,pero se une para no sentirse excluido 🥺🥺.

- Casi todos menos Amphinomus despiertan en el suelo sin saberlo.

I'm so sorry (i'm not). I was fighting a migraine and then this vision came to me with open arms

[murasaki-cha]

Antonius: Only the ocean and I will know~

Poseidon: Oh Tartarus nah!

Poseidon: The ocean will snitch! The ocean will snitch so hard!

Poseidon: The ocean will be pulling up to your king with a clipboard, tell him to sit down, and explain in incredible detail everything that happened with bullet points.

Poseidon: The ocean will be showing a PowerPoint presentation of the event.

[the-ace-reader]

Antinous, to the other suitors: Aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you want to go APE SHIT?

Odysseus, standing behind him: Yes. :)

Antinous, .2 seconds before death: Oh, shi-

[australet789]

Can't believe we have reached 400k+ views on my Just a Man animatic! (i was making this for the 300k one lol)

An update on my designs as a thank you! Mostly Odysseus (i got inspired by Omni-man's design) and now you can see how him and Antinous are a parallel to each other

[nothing-impt]

Another short Angst Substitute Mentor Comic :D TW for blood and gore (it's really messily drawn on the last panel but still-)
