Some of my random Epic: The Musical Headcanons (SPOILERS FOR UP TO THE VENEGANCE SAGA)
Athena didn't *hate* Polites exactly. She just thought his philosophy was idiotic at best, that his interference was detrimental to her plans and kept encouraging Ody to get rid of him.
Amphitrite explicitly warned Poseidon against pursuing Odysseus and deservedly said "I told you so." as he lay injured in bed.
I definitely agree with the theory that the Suitors were all too young to go when the Trojan War kicked off.
Polites was a medic during the war and in charge of the other medics in Odysseus' part of the army.
Apollo indeed finds himself becoming the voice of reason when Athena is in the medical wing of Olympus and hates it yet still insists of being in charge of Athena's care rather than Asclepius.
Argos has bitten at least one of the suitors.
Athena's hair gets poofy when she's been sleeping.
Odysseus saw this once and when he made the mistake on commenting it Athena made him do an extra drill as punishment.
When she finally saw sense, Athena gathered the bones of everyone who died in Polyphemus' cave and took them back to Ithaca to be buried.
When Hermes heard that Athena had abandoned Odysseus, he flew over and yelled at her for hours, if not days on end. No-one on Olympus tried to stop him and not because they cared, but because they didn't want to feel the wrath of an angry Hermes.
Moly makes gods high.
Eurylochus grew up in poverty.
He never intended to steal the 'treasure', but shit happened.
Eurylochus and Polites used to be super close, but their values kept clashing over the course of the Trojan War to the point where it became a regular thing to see them debating over whether or not to do this fucked up thing or not. They still cared for each other but it became difficult to talk to one another.
When Polites got killed, Eurylochus found himself becoming more and more like Polites, even letting some of the younger Sirens go when Ody's back was turned.
Circe drinks. And not responsibly.

Headcanon that Athena mentions her "friend" to Telemachus every time she has the chance and Telemachus, being this curious boy always wanting to hear stories, always encourages her to do so.
Then one day, Telemachus being bored as hell and probably got into another fight with the suitors, goes up to Athena and asks her if her friend ever did something stupid
And Athena just. Jumps to tell all the bullshit Odysseus got into. It's like a therapy session to talk about how dumb he can be. And Telemachus eats it all up
Fast forward to when Ody comes back home and Athena just hangs around sometimes. Telemachus, again, bored goes to ask Athena about stories of her friend and the shit he did. And Athena freezes up. Odysseus gets curious, and jealous, cause he never knew about a friend, and asks his son.
The mix of pure horror on his face when he discovers his son knows all the stupid shit he did in his youth, and the joy of Athena calling him her friend and talking about it goes entirely unnoticed by his son.
Athena meanwhile is dying inside.
Penelope is cackling

I love how the Epic community all unanimously agreed that Athena and Dionysus don't understand how humans are born
(Telemachus just fell down a flight of steps)

i love the idea of odysseus taking any and all chances to talk about his family. the crew is talking about women? he brings up penelope. the crew is talking about soldiers? he brings up how amazing telemachus would be in battle. the crew is talking about their stories from home? he tells (approximately) 384 stories about his wife.

if you didnt get a coin in your mouth when you died in ancient greece, you weren't able to go to the underworld, and no men at sea got a burial (elpenor was actually very VERY lucky) so technically polites and all the others are just wandering alone and afraid and confused in their death places. polites sits in the cyclops cave, eurylochus and 580?? men are forever at the bottom of the sea, and 6 are still near scylla
#my personal headcanon is that two parts of them exist#the soul is wandering and the spirit is in hades#anyways i jst made that headcanon so i didnt ruin the underworld saga for myself#epic the musical#jorge rivera herrans#eurylochus#epic musical#epic the musical fanart#epic the thunder saga#telemachus#the odyssey#odypen#odyssey#odysseus#penelope of ithaca#antinous#epic the wisdom saga#telemachus epic the musical#athena epic the musical#zeus epic#epic the musical headcanon#headcanon#my headcanons#headcannons

Headcanon:
Telemachus used to have long hair. His mother always told him that long hair—and the ability to keep it without it getting cut off during battle—was the mark of a good warrior. She told him his father, the mighty Odysseus, the man of many devices, had long hair for much of his youth.
(What she doesn't tell him is that Odysseus went to war with shorn hair and red-rimmed eyes, because leaving his family behind was a cause for mourning far worse than a war lost.)
And so Telemachus, young and bright and quite without the father he so adored, grew out his hair. It got to be quite long indeed, and if his father had been there to witness it, he would have sung his dear son's praises, boasting of his honor and dignity and patience to anyone who would listen. But Odysseus was not there, and all Telemachus had of him were stories and desperate imitation. Still, there was comfort in even those, like his father might be watching over him in some odd way he couldn't sense. The thought gave him strength.
The more benign suitors dismissed the change. Let the boy have his hair, they said, chuckling with faint fondness. What is the harm? Even our little prince must become a man at some point.
But the other suitors, the ones who schemed with malice in their eyes as they watched Telemachus pass by them with a new confidence in the set of his shoulders, saw the danger in allowing this to continue.
The maids were on their side. It wasn't difficult for a few of them to find their way into Telemachus' room in the dead of night and cut his hair with quiet, nimble hands.
Telemachus knows it was suitors. The incident is never brought up again, and he never tells anyone the truth of the matter, not even Penelope. But he can no longer sleep as soundly as he once did, and he no longer tries to grow out his hair.
He isn't brave enough to try.

A messy comic about my headcanon of Polites's headband origin and mostly his relationship with Eurylochus expecially as a kid. More note in the end
More headcanon! In this comic Polites might seem a little insecure but my personal headcanon is Polites grow to be confident and physically strong overtime, while as a kid he's a little more quiet.
I imagine that Polites is a friend that everyone always talk to when they need support. And Eurylochus, is a friend that would listen to Polites when he's the one needed it.
And why Ody wear his headband in the first place? He just thought it looked cool

Thinking about how Telemachus has heard "You are just like your father" by so many people for most of his life. How different yet refreshing it is to hear said father tell him warmly "You're so much like your mother".
#Idk something about how he's just as much Penelope's son as he is Odysseus'. And how people just focus on his missing father#And Odysseus. the dad he's often compared to. says something entirely differnt.#Mad rambles#shot by odysseus#my headcanons#penelope of ithaca#telemachus#odysseus#idk I'm fightin a fever right now :') I'm very sure this isn't even grammatically correct but yahoo!#epic the musical#odyssey#the odyssey#tagamemnon#I don't plan to write Penelope comparing him much to his dad often. She only does so when Tele wants/needs to hear it.#She realizes “okay. you're trying too hard to be in your dad's shadow. you're Telemachus first. you're our legacy second.”#he's still affected by others' talk though ;~; (grandparents used to call him the wrong name and such
