Epic The Musical Odysseus - Tumblr Posts
This has become a trend/meme for the Thunder Saga and I'm not complaining.
Penelope, why~ You know I'm too shy...
giggling, blushing, kicking the air this line from that song gives me clear gale dekarios vibes and no one will convince me otherwise he's just such a simp for his wifey~
*gay gasp* It's my time. Okay, so, the Thunder Saga. All of the songs in said saga are great! They're all important and we all love because OH MA GOD are those songs amazing. But Scylla's song has a lot of popularity. Why? Well, it kinda ties the whole saga together and convinces Odysseus that he really needs to be a monster to get back to Penelope. The fact that this is all for Penelope drives him on. This is also reminded to him in Thunder Bringer so that he can make the important decision. (I wish I had someone that devoted to me-) Speaking of Thunder Bringer, can we talk about how Eurylocus and his crew literally stabbed Odyssues less than ten minutes before Zeus comes down? And how he killed the cow? I know he's tired, but the fact that he basically asks for his life from the man whom he just stabbed- But I'll lay off. Anygays, back to the topic. Scylla is also slightly pushing Odysseus further into making the hard decision to sacrifice his crew, reminding him of the monster inside him and how he must bring it out to get home to his darling wife. It is extremely hard for him to give up the lives of his crew, but he needs to get back to his wife and son, no matter the cost. The first lyric is LITERALLY him convincing himself that this needs to be done. That this is his only way to get back home! "They lair of Scylla...this is our only way home..." He is still trying to cope with the fact that he must sacrifice his crew, his friends, to get back to Ithaca. Also, the song is just a banger?! All of them are, but still. The fact that Scylla is actively manipulating Odysseus into killing his men is awesome to experience. Jay how are you so good at this?!
Scylla: I'm hungry...ah, a depressed captain who knows he has to pay to sail through my waters and is going through his character arc! Perfect. *ehem* Deep down~" Seriously, this song is so deep and portrays how Odysseus is finally deciding to get. shit. done. An animatic that shows this really well:
And Odysseus already knows that the creatures are attracted to light, which leads up to Mutiny oh so dramatically. *laughs* I gave you a whole entire crappy essay about it. Hope this helps :3 Also, the music slap. Thunder Bringer and Scylla are favorites for a reason, and it ain't just lore. Have a wonderful day, and may it be Epic.
So, maybe you can explain it, but why does everyone seem so enamored with the song Scylla? Like, don't get me wrong, it's a good song, I just don't...get it?
I’m not really sure! I just really think it’s neat! I’m not sure there is one specific thing that draws everyone to it? But a very pretty voice and a sad story are definite draws!!
Erm...is there an odyssues page? He needs to see this immediately-
Reblog if you've been away from home for about 12 years or so /ref
Information time~ Odysseus actually goes into the Thunder Saga with 43 men, not 42.
While the logic states that because the Underworld Saga says 558 men died under his command, and there were 600 (not including Odysseus) to start, there would be 42, right?
No.
Remember Elpenor? Yeah, his whole thing was that he's forgotten, but Jay decided to make him an easter egg. He is the 558th man. Now onto the rest of the math.
Since Odyssues sacrificed 6 men, there are 37 left...and then Zeus says:
"Wanna see a magic trick? ABRAKADABRA!" (kills Odysseus' fleet)
Okay, Ik you’re not official, but does anyone know what Odysseus’ fleet is at for numbers after Thunder Saga? Idk if my math is mathing
After the Thunder Saga? He is at 0 men. Odysseus is the last survivor after the Thunder Saga, and I do not think he is included in the original 600 count of his men!
(He did go into the Thunder Saga with 42 men)
OMG YAAASSS
I want the Epic: The musical community to know that the prophet in the underworld is called Tiresias and that he was changed into a woman for seven years by Hera, became a priestes for her, and got married and had childeren. He was able to answer Hera and Zeus when they argued about if men or women enjoyed sex more (it was women btw!)
LET THE CREEPY BLIND PRIEST WHO DRINKS BLOOD AND SPEAKS OMINOUS OMENS BE GNC!!!!!
Zeus really went,
“You wanna see a magic trick? ABRAKADABRA!” (Kills his entire fleet.)
I just imagined this is how it went in the Olympus
“DAAAAAD! THEY KILLED MY FAVORITE COW!!!”
“Not now Apollo, I’m choosing a new maiden to deflower tonight”
“But daaaad! Odysseus crew can’t get away wi-“
“OOOH IT WAS THAT ODY BOY?! WHY DIDNT YOU SAY IT SOONER?! HHAHA THIS IS GONNA BE HILARIOUS”
Thank you!

I don’t know if he can be stopped. Bro is just going to be cackling and giggling like a madman on Olympus-

Uh- eh- um- cau- … Damn. This explanation is like- “Let’s give the sunshine character our trauma and see how he reacts.”
Eurylochus rolling up to the Underworld like this
Ha! Noice.
Share this gem from EPIC's Reddit community lmao
PFT-
DAMN-
What happens when you binge scroll a blog-
Poseidon: “Hold on. Wait. You went down there?”
Zeus: *eating a snacky snack, pausing only to mumble his theme song to himself* “Yeah. Someone hurt the cows.”
Poseidon: “Yes. Someone in Odysseus’s crew.”
Zeus: “Yup.”
Poseidon: *eye twitch* “and with Odysseus in reach… you killed everyone except him?”
Zeus: *laughs* “Ah, yeah. You should’ve seen his face when he was the only one left alive.”
Poseidon: *trembling with rage* “You had Odysseus in front of you and he was the one you didn’t kill?!?! He’s my enemy!”
Zeus: *pausing, arching a brow* “Yeah, and? He’s not mine. Solve your own problems. What do I look like? A janitor?”
You want to knock out Zeus? Um…wait. Tell Hera that Zeus got with *another* woman. That’ll get her hyped to do it.
Or, the most plausible option-
Start a bitch fight between the gods. Make them have a bitch fight. Like, in my not so humble opinion, Thunder Bringer is the yasified version of No Longer You, so…why not have Zeus in the middle of a bitch fight?
Have them pull each others’ hair, call each other petty names and shit. You know, bitch fight stuff.

Listening to Love in Paradise on repeat, you cannot tell me this man has not tried to escape multiple times. Just listen to how he sings (first meeting), it just screams, "How can I get out of this, how do I get out of this, what can I do to get out of this, GIMME MY WIFE-"
Like, the idea popped into my head that he would've probably tried to built a boat/raft and an oar or two to escape and Calypso was just amused by his attempts since she was just gonna snach him up again. Yes, she'd be a bit hurt, but she'd admire his attempts for trying.
(After another failed attempt to take a raft off the Island, Calypso walks him back to the cabin.) Odysseus: (murmuring) I was so close... Calypso: Yeah, good job! You managed to finish the raft and oar this time and got a good amount of distance off shore! (it was really only a couple yards) That's pretty impressive! Odysseus: (eyes narrowed) Not good enough it seems... Calypso: (blinks a few times before responding) As much as I admire your efforts, you should just relax in my paradise! We have forever after all! Why don't you just rest inside my paradise? Odysseus who frowns softly and looks sad and slightly defeated because he just wants to go to his wife and son-
But you already know he's trying again eventually.
(Until he gives up and tries to commit suicide 7 years later-)
And of course I finish writing this after almost crying a few times at the ending of the song-
Fair
