Reminder that Greek mythology (or any mythology) retellings are RETELLINGS. They are not meant to substitute the source material, but bolster it

That means that some of them have inaccuracies. Some of them are just plain wrong. Some of them don’t fit in with the world and people of the original work

And that’s OKAY

Because, once again, it’s a reinterpretation, not a repetition. It’s a version of the story colored with someone’s personal biases and that’s absolutely A-OK

As long as y’all don’t start using them as a substitute for the original

(For instance, saying Patroclus was a healer and shied away from fighting, while perfectly accurate in the context of TSOA, is egregiously wrong when applied to the original Iliad

Saying Odysseus told his name to the Cyclops because he was distressed about the deaths of his crew is perfectly fine when it comes to Epic, though in the original myths, it’s more likely to be the much more selfish reason of “you can’t get glory from an event if you don’t put your name on it”

And that’s OKAY

Because it’s a reinterpretation. It’s not going to be a hundred percent accurate, and people need to accept that)

I was reading Circe by Madeline Miller and it was the part when Telegonus was telling Circe about when Odysseus was chasing him after he got to Ithaca. And I'm also an Epic the Musical fan so what I imagined was Jay chasing a Walmart version of Telemachus 😭😭😭😭😭😭

also like kudos to mr Jorge Rivera-Herrans and his team because Epic the Musical feels like the only ancient greek-inspired medium I've encountered so far that doesn't fetishise, appropriate and misrepresent ancient Greece, and as a greekTM myself I really appreciate that??? Breath of fresh air after the personal hell that's Madeline Miller's & Rick Riordan's works.

I have this head cannon that Epic: The Musical is the story Odysseus told everyone but Madeline Miller’s retelling of the story in Circe is a lot closer to the truth.

Just went to an event with Madeline Miller and Emily Wilson as speakers and got the latter to sign my program and while I was at it I asked. It’s official y’all, EMILY FUCKING WILSON IS A FAN OF EPIC THE MUSICAL
