[silviaflowers]

Did you guys think I forgot about epic because I DID NOT!! :D

Forgive my inability to draw armor I tried but I had no ref

A couple Ithaca-saga inspired doodles!! You ever think about how Telemachus was probably the first to see Athena post-God Games because I do. I'm normal about that.

And the return of Aeolus' Apprentice! I think a lot about how she would talk to Odysseus post-"Wind Saga." She'd be more direct, I think. Ignore the fact there's nothing in the last panel imagine the wind bag there.

I'm also proud of how I drew Odysseus in the first panel of this mini comic that he's in :]

may i request some hermes x aeolus? perfectly fine to deny since i bet you have a million other requests :D

I actually don't have a lot of requests</3 but I appreciate each and every one of them<3

Yes, I did, in fact, have to make an Aeolus design just for this/pos

[feathers-second-face]

Here are the designs I made for a good chunk of the characters. I have some more, but I'll post those tomorrow. They were all based on the appearance of their voice actors (except Polites because I couldn't find his VA until after- whoops-), art/statues I found on Google from like- Greece or wherever they're from, and other designs people had made for them.

They're probably not the best or most accurate, but I like them and that's all that matters I think. This is all for fun anyways.

[would-they-listen-to-that]

could i mayhaps get a kin playlist for aeolus from EPIC: The Musical... (specifically gigis design, if thats any help!)

An incorrect quote based on an ETM au that me and a friend have

Hermes: From now on we’ll be using codenames, darlings. You can address me as Eagle 1.

Hermes: Circe, codename- Been There Done That.

Circe:

Hermes: Aeolus is Currently Doing That

Aeolus: *high fives Hermes*

Hermes: Eurylochus is It Happened Once In a Dream

Eurylochus: What???

Hermes: Atalanta, codename, Precious Baby Can Do No Wrong.

Atalanta: I’m an adult, Hermes.

Hermes: Polites, codename- I’d be Lying If I Said I Hadn’t Thought about it.

Polites: Awww!

Hermes: Penth is If I Had to Pick an Amazon.

Penthesilea: *winks*

Hermes: Odysseus is…Eagle 2.

Odysseus: Oh thank gods.

Okay, I've kind of put this in tags of different posts but I want a full post about it.

Since the first time I listened to Epic: The Musical (what had been released thus far) certain parts of the story have bugged me a little bit. (STAY WITH ME, THIS ISN'T A HATE POST). Odysseus seemed different from Homer's Odysseus in a way that I couldn't fully explain. I thought that perhaps it was motivation (honor vs. family, etc), which it is to an extent, but that's not fully it.

Disclaimer: when I talk about "the ends justifying the means" I mean evil means justifying a good end.

BUT NOW I GET WHY. In "Keep Your Friends Close", Aeolus says, "The end always justifies the means" which brought me back to my high school freshmen lit class. We read the Odyssey (and the Iliad) and basically every conversation we had on it was either: 1. Can we trust literally anything Odysseus says? 2. Do the ends justify the means? I don't have examples off the top of my head (I'll likely reblog this later with examples) but Odyssey Odysseus was ruthless. He wasn't as trigger-happy as some other Greek heroes (*cough* Achilles *cough*) but he is an ancient Greek standard for intelligence: that meant being able to kill when necessary without getting emotions involved (i.e. that time he killed Dolon in The Iliad). For Odyssey Odysseus, the ends had to justify the means.

BUT for ETM Odysseus, the ends don't justify the means. He kills Hector's baby son but he is emotionally torn up about it. He refuses to kill Polyphemus--despite Athena's demands--because he wants to be merciful. (In the Odyssey Athena and Odysseus never have this argument, btw). For ETM Odysseus, mercy is more important than making sure the job gets done. This opinion is obviously a lot more palatable for modern sensibilities.

ETM Odysseus is clever, but he isn't cunning. He is a trickster but I wouldn't call him a liar. ETM Odysseus, as a whole, is far more similar to a modern hero than an Ancient one. (I could go into how Christian morals have shaped most of Western Civilization but I'll contain myself for now). AND NOW FOR MY THESIS: ETM is a story about a modern hero in a world of ancient morals. The Odyssey is a story about the ideal ancient hero in a world of ancient morals.

But, as I said, this is NOT a hate post. I'm the daughter of two philosophy PhDs: there is little I love more than a story that explores hypothetical morals. Coming to this conclusion about the difference between the Odysseuses just makes me even more excited to keep listening to ETM.

Eyyyy thanks for tagging me <3

1. So far it's a tie between The Ocean Saga and The Thunder Saga!

2. I love all of them!!!!! But I really enjoy the mischievous deities like Hermes and Aeolus, the side characters who are willing to help the protagonist but also want to watch some drama XD

3. God Games (godly rap battle!), Get In The Water (I've been crazy over the snippets), and Odysseus' reunion with Penelope and Telemachus.

4. Around May/June 2023??? I've been irregularly following Gigi on Youtube for Six the Musical, then I saw her Legendary animatic and clicked in because hey, I didn't know she was into Greek myths as well! That decision kicked me down the ETM hole and sealed my fate.

5. I've dedicated my life to study Hyacinthus of Sparta. His history of worship is a pain-staking yet super interesting topic to learn!

“If I had to guess, you're headed to the land of the giants...”

More Epic art, with Aeolus this time yey!

A bit of a heads up, I'll likely be drawing Odysseus, Athena, and Circe the most, since they're my favorites.
