Briseis: What if people had food names and food had people names? Antilochus: Hey, spaghetti, we're having Briseis for dinner. Patroclus: What is wrong with you people? Achilles: Shut up, chocolate.

*SCREAMS* -cough cough- (I’m empathizing with Odysseus rn)

And screaming, because I can’t believe that my favourite song from EPIC is released (No Longer You)

Listening to Epic’s Underworld Saga, and I just.., the background creaking of the boat through out ‘The Underworld’ makes everything even more heartbreaking.

I can just imagine Odysseus seeing his lost loved ones and walking along the length of the boat as they pass them, trying to stay with them as long as he can. Until he’s at the back of the boat, watching his mother fade in the distance.

“Bye mom…” fucking killed me 😭😭😭

Epic: The Underworld Saga

The Underworld Saga slaps. But I'm gonna drop another bucket of feels to The Underworld number.

Remember to get to the Underworld, you have to cross the River Styx. Odysseus is going by ship, but most of the time, it's just dead souls moving on to the afterlife, so they cross with Charon the Ferryman.

Thing is, though, you have to pay him.

Part of the burial rites in Ancient Greece was placing a coin in the mouth or near the body of the deceased so they could pay Charon to bring them across the river. No coin, no crossing.

Polites was killed by the Cyclops and left behind.

The 558 men drowned in the ocean after Poseidon's rampage.

His mother Anticlea drowned herself off the shores of Ithaka. (At least in versions of the story I remember. Somebody who's actually read The Odyssey will have more accurate information on her fate.)

None of them received a proper burial.

So all those souls they encounter in that number are trapped in limbo for eternity because they can't pay for the crossing.

Diomedes sitting on a couch with his arms crossed: So I've seen that you've been spending a lot of time with Penelope lately. Odysseus: Wait no dude it's not what it looks like I swear Diomedes: Oh really? So theres no reason for me to be jealous? Odysseus: No! You're the only one for me Diomedes: Is that so? Odysseus: I promise! Penelope and I are just dating, ok? Diomedes: so there's no rivalry-friendship feelings involved? Odysseus: you are still my only Rival. She's just the best thing that's happened to me. Nothing more Diomedes: but I'm the best Rival to have happened to you right? Odysseus: Of course! Penelope just watching all of this go down: What the fuck

Greek “heros” as a therapist.

Orpheus: don’t look back on the past for too long, you don’t wanna regret what you could have done. Keep an eye on the future.

Odyssey: it might take you a while to get where you want but if you want it, let nothing get in your way.

Achilles: remember if you love someone, keep a hold of them, you don’t want to loose them because of a mistake you’ve made.

Heracules: if someone tries to test you, show them you can beat all their tests.

Perseus: you can use a shield in life, it doesn’t make you weak.

Theseus: when your life feels like a tangled ball of yarn, there will always be someone to untangle it, so don’t loose that person. Don’t go leaving them on an island either.

My friend played Monster out loud, and I thought it was Horse and The Infant, for a hot second.

IT’S A PARALLEL. TO BOTH OF THE FIRST SONGS. OF THE MUSICAL.
