Odysseus: YOU'RE PREGNANT!!!!

Eurylochus: SHHH BUT DON'T SCREAM IT OUT

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

"Apollo's in God Games, so he's the sun god in EPIC!"

"No, Helios is the sun god because that's what happened in the Odyssey!"

FOOLS🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

'TIS BOTH OF THEM!

silly lil' comic i made in celebration for the Wisdom Saga! :3 Apollo has two dads :D fight me :D

Here it is in full:

the cow's name was Buttercup btw. she loved Apollo very much :(

art ramblings (and a surprise!) below the cut!

gotta say, I LOVE how Apollo's hair turned out. i love it. as shiny as i imagine it AND as pretty. he's kicking his feet btw. because he's sad :(

Zeus looks so ridiculous XD this was my first try at a shocked expression and WOW IT WAS HARD

anyway let Zeus be a dad 2k24

this idea came to me at work last Friday. took me almost the whole day Sunday to draw it. then Monday to outline & color part of it. then the rest I finished today.

also dw Apollo's fine. he's in his blanket <3

[that-tall-queer-bassist]

i'm gonna EPIC post now sorry to my mcyt followers but-

Helios has his cows right? Sun god's cows blah blah mutiny blah blah HE"S A COWBOY. DRAW HELIOS AS COWBOY PLEASE. I"LL DO IT TOO BUT PLEEEEEEASE I NEED IT.

sit with me, imagine it. Helios rocks up to Zeus, "Sir, them soldiers just killed one of ma' cattle. Can ya' do somethin' about them? Thank ye kindly."

And then after Thunder Bringer he's all like "Well that was a lil' extreme. They did kill one o' my cattle though, so good riddance to bad rubbish."

and about Odysseus, "That man's more barn sour than ole' Cloudy was."

Consider Cowboy Helios. Please. For me.

After God Games

Helios: The sirens?

Apollo: I was taken by surprise, okay? Dad just popped me into the arena and went "yo fight your sister about Odyseus or something".

Helios: And you didn't consider my cows as a reason?

Apollo: I panicked!? And the sirens do write bangers.

Helios: After I considered you as my sucessor!

Apollo: Look, honey, Hector was my champion and I didn't even considered Troy a reason. Is nothing personal.

Why Apollo actually didn't have beef with Odysseus (spoiler for the Wisdom Saga)

Heads up, fellas: The rambling below contains spoiler for Epic the Wisdom Saga!

As we may know, in God Games, Athena needed to convince half of the Olympian council to approve Odysseus' release from Calypso's island. Apollo is the first god Athena encountered and the easiest for her to convince.

Now, why is that? Why does Apollo's beef with Odysseus seem way too easy to rebuke? He barely has any connection with the Sirens aside from the catchy songs, so why did he use them to "accuse" Odysseus (heavy on the quote-unquote because he barely even tried) and not the sacking of Troy, the murder of Astyanax, or the violation of the cows?

Here's my theory: Apollo has no real grudges against Odysseus. Apollo has every reason to be mad with the mentioned instances, but he is also the god of reason and rationality and knows there is no point in being angry.

First, as far as I know, Odysseus had not directly offended Apollo in the Trojan War or during his journey home. Apollo won't just harm anyone, he'd only take retribution against those who disrespected him greatly.

Second, the City of Troy had always been destined to fall so if it wasn't for Odysseus' wooden horse, someone else would have caused its demise. Apollo can't fault Odysseus for being part of the city's inevitable destiny.

Third, Apollo should be mad at Odysseus for killing an infant because he's the protector of the young, right? Well, in The Horse and The Infant, it was Zeus who told Odysseus that Astyanax was prophesied to take revenge on the Greek kings when he grew up, and he had to kill the infant to prevent that. Apollo is not one to go against his father's decree, so he wouldn't be mad at Odysseus for following suit.

(And if you look from a mythological standpoint, if Astyanax actually grew up to cause destruction to the Trojan War survivors, imagine how many sons and daughters of the Greek kings would suffer because the prophesied one was spared.)

Finally, why was he not mad with the cow thing??? Simple!

The cows were not even Apollo's, but Helios'. Apollo already gave his cows to Hermes in exchange for the lyre. So when Odysseus' crew killed the cows, they offended Helios, not Apollo. Of course, you could say Apollo should be mad on Helios' behalf, but that'll take us to point 2...

The crew killed the cows while Odysseus begged them to not. Odysseus didn't commit the crime or enable it, so he was in the clear. And lastly...

Odysseus' crew were already punished by death and Odysseus was left drifting in the sea and stuck on Calypso's island for seven years to the point of driven insane, so whatever "association" he could possibly have with the violation of the cows should be paid enough.

All that aside, Apollo has little to no beef with Odysseus and only makes up a flimsy "reason" to be mad out of obligation. He didn't care about bringing justice to Athena's favorite mortal, he probably only wanted to have fun in the family drama because hey, how often do you get to see your oldest sister asking for a favor from your King-god father?

[cvmcicle]

need Hera religiously, im just saying if Zeus doesn't want her i'd be happy to

[artistxgrotto]

“how to get glowy skin no glue no borax”

also hi guys sory school has been keeping me hostage 😿😿

[fuckingdeadinsidetm]

something something Eury notices Ody’s hair has grown since troy and realizes that Ody looks almost identical to Ctimene now

[historycrack]

Odysseus’ men need to stop killing random livestock that may or may not belong to a god/monster. Historically it doesn’t end well for them.
