I was wondering if maybe the sirens can only change to look like people who are around the same age as them (yes I’m still obsessed with the thunder saga, I promise I’ll write about wisdom saga soon)

Now obviously there’s no mythological or canonical reason why they would but it would certainly make things more interesting. Penelope is a middle aged woman so I imagine that Sirenope would have to be the eldest and most capable, most likely the leader as well.

And Odysseus’s daughter would be the youngest. I imagine a baby siren, around ten or so, impersonating this imaginary child. Perhaps this siren is the daughter of Sirenope, who is learning how to hunt from her mother (baby’s first drowning!! They grow up so fast!)

So when viewed through that lens Different Beast becomes even more monstrous because Odysseus is killing a child in front of its mother. He is also, ironically, putting Sirenope through the same pain he has felt ever since Poseidon - he is making her experience the guilt of a leader whose actions directly led to their people getting killed.

I saw a post that suggested Odysseus might have spared Sirenope’s life so she could live with the guilt of what she’s done, and I can’t help but admire the parallels. Odysseus has not only become a monster, he has become a monster that deals out the exact type of pain that he feels.

And he does it again by giving the torches to Eurylochus in Scylla oh my word-

Random, but I REALLY love the fact that the top 2 most iconic musicals in the market right now are:

1- local war veteran cheats on his wife because she was away from home too long

2-local war veteran commits every crime to ever exist in this world EXCEPT cheating on his wife because he was away from home too long

Good to know that Eurylochus has started to haunt the narrative with his buddy polites

Fight, little wolf!

I wear it as a badge of honour

Who else was here for the 'policy violation' streamkill of 2024 claim your vouchers now

I also saw this, I nearly died laughing

I would like to highlight this chat response to “Remember Them” cutting out in the livestream

Listening to the Troy saga with my sister, she says Luke Holt’s voice sounds like how hot cocoa tastes 🥺

Lmao this poor man

fun fact at the very end of the livestream you can see jorge's reaction to the crash. so i made a new meme template

I think Ares is just dumb

THE THE

telemachus is literally me rn

Glad I’m not the only one lol

You know it's funny, this was supposed to be an art blog but it's kind of turned into my ramblings about epic the musical

I blame the tumblr epic community for being so welcoming and cool

Guys. Guys. The wisdom saga. oh my word. I was legitimately holding back tears. I can’t believe it. Mr Jalapeño you’ve done it again

close your eyes and spare yourself the view

I know I said this wasn't really an art account anymore...but this is epic the musical related so I hope you guys like it anyway? If I could go back and redo it there is a lot of things I'd change (namely Athena's design) but for now I'm pretty happy with it

if your man doesn't carve a bed out of an olive tree for you he isn't the one

I'm introducing my mom to Epic

It's not going well, she really hates the winions  😅  She thinks the name winions is not original cause it sounds too much like minions. So far she has referred to them as 'furries' and 'ewoks'...

Now just wait a damn minute-

Found this on Jay's second account from back in 2021. Thought I'd just leave it here.

I used to set Ruthlessness as my alarm - nothing gets you out of bed quicker than hearing those waves and knowing you only have a few seconds before the POSEIDONs start

Fell asleep while listening to Epic. Woke up to "OOOOOOODYSSEUS OF ITHACA" was terrified.

Something I've been thinking a lot about recently

Would be Eurylochus's line in mutiny, "If you want all the power you must carry all the blame!" Because even though he sings it to Odysseus, it's not about Odysseus at all. That line perfectly encapsulates Eurylochus's own arc, and foreshadows his death.

I'm sure other people have talked about this as well, but I had to comment on it and how clever it is. Because Eurylochus did want all the power. For a while now, I think. That isn't to say he's been power hungry, but throughout the course of the musical he has grown increasingly dissatisfied with Ody's decisions. Especially from Ocean saga onwards, when Polites isn't there to keep the peace, I get the vibe that he feels that if only he was the one in charge, he could get them home. He would never have gotten them into these dangerous situations they find themselves in. It's his coping mechanism - blaming Odysseus helps keep his own guilt about the wind bag at bay. It's probably why he feels he can tell Odysseus about the wind bag, because he feels that it isn't entirely his fault.

Odysseus doesn't agree, of course, and all of this pent up anger and frustration finally comes to a head in Mutiny. Eurylochus yells this line to him, fully believing that Odysseus doesn't deserve to be in charge anymore and he has a point but that's a post for another day. What Eurylochus doesn't realise, though, is that when he takes Odysseus's power from him and becomes the leader, he will be held to the same standard.

So when he chooses to kill those cows, his words become a self fulfilling prophecy. For a moment, he had all the power. He made a choice. And he had to carry all the blame.

Under appreciated moment in the Troy saga!!

I know everyone is still getting over the thunder saga (which is so fair) but listening to the remastered Troy saga reminded me of one of my favourite moments (musically) from the entirety of epic.

It’s in Open Arms (bc of course it is) and it’s when Polites and Odysseus first encounter the lotus eaters. It starts at 1:08 minutes in, where you can hear the chorus in the background building up this beautiful scale of notes like some kind of heavenly choir, and then they go back down again and it’s just?! So pretty?!

Like I don’t know what the musical term for it (I haven’t done music theory since high school) but it’s so pretty and it gives me so much serotonin. Definitely one of my favourite moments so far.

My fellow Epic fans, we are sleeping on a GOLDEN opportunity here:

The fake Penelope in Suffering? From now on we should start calling her SIRENOPE
