#Odyssey the musical
Link
Originating as a viral TikTok sensation written, composed and recorded by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, ‘Epic’ retells Homer’s famous poem, ‘The Odyssey’. The concept album tells the story of Odysseus, taking us from the end of the Trojan war to (presumably) his return home. The album will consist of forty songs, split into nine sagas, of which two sagas have been released to date. The first five-song saga, ‘Epic: the Troy Saga’ was released on 25th December 2022, while the second four-song saga, ‘Epic: the Cyclops Saga’ was released on 27th January 2023. While there is no news yet on when the complete third saga will be released, excepts and progress can be found on Rivera-Herrans’ TikTok: @jorgeherrans.
Unlike Homer’s ‘The Odyssey,’ which begins with conversation between the gods, takes a detour to Ithaca and then finally catches up with Odysseus on the island of Calypso, ‘Epic’ follows a more linear path, beginning with the very end of the Trojan War with its opening number ‘The Horse and the Infant’.

Odysseus: 600 men making our way back home to Ithaca!
*Polyphemus swings his club around*
Odysseus: 593 men making our way back home to Ithaca.
*Poseidon wipes out the other 11 ships in the fleet*
Odysseus: ...43 men making our way back home to Ithaca.
*Elpenor's drunk ass falls off Circe's roof*
Odysseus: 42 men making our way back home to Ithaca, I guess.
*Scylla targets the torch holders*
Odysseus: 36 men making our way back home to Ithaca. Put that sword away, Eurylochus.
*Zeus strikes the ship with lightning*
Odysseus: 1 man making his way back home to Penelope and Telemachus. And by the gods, I will somehow make it.
