crying laughing bc my little sister heard me singing the part in Suffering where Odysseus says he’s afraid of water, and then i hear this voice say in confusion “how does he shower? how does he shower if he’s afraid of water” and honestly it has made my day

[moonlit-lian]

“𝐼 𝓌𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝓉𝒶𝓀𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓈𝓊𝒻𝒻𝑒𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒻𝓇𝑜𝓂 𝓎𝑜𝓊 ~”

“Oooh, as good as it sounds, right here I’m just fine.”

“𝐼 𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝓉𝒶𝓀𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓈𝓊𝒻𝒻𝑒𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒻𝓇𝑜𝓂 𝓎𝑜𝓊 ~”

Sorry I am hyper fixating so hard right now.. 😔💗

[signed-sapphire]

I have seen two valid takes on “come play with me and our daughter” in Suffering:

Transfem Telemachus, Odysseus missed his daughter’s coming out

Transmasc Telemachus, Odysseus kills the sirens for misgendering his son

Honourable mention: Penelope was pregnant when Odysseus left, and he missed another chance to be a father

*after getting back to ithaca*

REAL penelope: jump in the water and kiss me♥️

Odysseus: you know I'm afraid of the water😰

I just noticed that Polites is basically in every saga so far except for the Circe saga-

He is in the Troy saga in the songs: Full speed ahead and open arms

He is in the cyclops saga in: Polyphemus and survive

He then gets mentioned in the ocean saga during: keep your friends close

I don’t think he gets mentioned anywhere in the Circe saga.

He is then heard singing again in the underworld saga during the first song.

And the siren has one of Polites main instruments in the background of the song: suffering

He is now again heard singing during the song “love in paradise” together with Eurylochus and Anticlea (Odysseus mom) in the background-

And I mean it doesn’t mean anything probably but it’s just something I noticed-

Let me know if I missed anything!

Anyway RIP eurylochus, siren penelope is my new favourite character <3

[sucker-for-seaweedbrain]

hear my yap on the thunder saga

my two favorite songs are Suffering and Thunder Bringer, not only because of the song itself but also because of the symbolism

Suffering:

i'm not talking about violin - Penelope's instrument - not appearing in the song hinting it's not her because I DIDN'T NOTICE IT UNTIL JAY POINTED IT OUT

my tiny little brain at the very beginning went "the 'eh's and 'ah's sounds how sirens would" and greek mythology has roots deep inside my brain because i've live laugh loved it for most of my life

by Odysseus saying he's afraid of the water you can already tell he's lying because what good captain goes by ship and declines to set a foot in water?

if you know your greek myths you also know that Odysseus only had a daughter with Circe (we don't even talk about that in EPIC so shhhhhhht) but by Odysseus in The Horse and the Infant you already can tell he only has a wife and a son

i'm also a psychology nerd so... how could i not? in psychology there's this thing that you see the world how you are; meaning here that Odysseus is a liar, and so he sees others as potential liars, which surely helped him aside the beeswax

another thing is the siren's high voice - there's also a thing where your voice pitches higher when you're lying: when the siren is talking about the lair of Scylla her voice is still high, but not as squeaky as previously. "This is your only way home, the lair of Scylla" is also sung on the highest motes, which might show that there might have been another way, but maybe just maybe the siren felt Odysseus not getting convinced and decided that if she's not eating a sailor today Scylla might as well get that privilege lmao

also wtf would be Penelope doing in open sea? and if it were really her Odysseus wouldn't be asking for a way home because well THAT'S HIS WIFE SHE WOULD KNOW, NO?

In Thunder Bringer I'd like to point out the siren's line because it might signify many things:

Odysseus recalls Penelope as a reason to stay alive

He wishes he'd let the siren take him because that would be easier than making the choice

He realizes that if not for the siren he would have probably forgotten his wife's voice which motivates him to get back home

He's afraid that Penelope's really with another man

He's afraid that Penelope might be considering suicide like his mom

He's afraid that Penelope already lost hope that he's alive but the difference is that he didn't meet her in Hades

If that's what was running through his head, he might as well considered picking himself to reunite with his beloved, even dead

Thanks to the prophet he didn't :DD

“Then jump in the water and kiss me~”

“Penelope I’ve told you this before- you know I’m afraid of the water!”

“I’ll make sure that you are safe and sound~”

Odysseus: “gotcha beach 😏”

I’m very excited I finally finished this! I’m astounded at the attention my sketch of this is getting, I just hope this gets noticed too! Heh!

I feel like when he says “more than you know, his expression is very pained at first, like I just know he meant that! UGGH
