have these been done yet

Zeus: The gods will tell him what you did when he grows up and he’ll kill you and everything you love.

Odysseus: Why?

Zeus: Why what?

Odysseus: If I raise him and he’s my second son, I’m his father, yes?

Zeus: I guess.

Odysseus: And this is a baby, so he won’t remember his real father? I mean, look at him. He doesn’t even know what’s going on right now and half the city is on fire and I just burst in here with a sword. Zero reaction.

Zeus: I guess-

Odysseus: So why would he be mad at me for killing a dude who did not raise him and he doesn’t remember? I’d be his dad. Maybe he’d be mad I stole him from his home but he’d have no emotional connection to these people.

Zeus: I don’t know how those work.

Odysseus: You mean children?!

Zeus: "If you don't end him now, you'll have no one left to save."

Athena: "Finish it."

Aeolus: "The end always justifies the means."

Poseidon: "Ruthlessness is mercy."

Hermes: "You can be hurt or you can beat her. ... I'll help you conquer her."

Tiresias: "I see a man who gets to make it home alive, but it's no longer you."

Hestia, probably:

Odysseus in Just A Man: how could i hurt you?

Odysseus in Monster:

[thedoorthatopensonitsown]

Anyone else notice how in We'll Be Fine, Telemachus immediately calls Athena his friend the first time they meet, the same way Odysseus did in Warrior of the Mind?

Do you think Athena noticed?

[i-like-her-like-that]

So like I was thinking

Athena approaches Odysseus in Warrior Of The Mind, when Odysseus is "a boy". So, young. And Warrior Of The Mind does not mention Penelope.

Do you think when Ody fell in love with Penelope he went to Athena for advice?

Can you imagine the conversations?

finally decided to continue the animation lol look at him go!

I won't be settling for anything less than an Odysseus level of obsession from my future husband thank you very much

I may have discovered epic the musical, but don't worry guys I'm gonna be so normal about it

(Spoilers in memes below)

Someone should write something where it's the Greek heroes from the Iliad watching odysseus during the odyssey from the afterlife. like achilles and company just being like yea fuck that guy up man. u got that. or he's crying over missing penelope and telemachus and they just feel bad for him or smth.

could also be them all listening/watching the epic songs/animatics 🦭

(even tho a lot of them don't die it's a fun idea in theory)

Odysseus: I can excuse dropping infants from a wall, but I draw the line at cheating on my wife!

Circe: … You can excuse dropping infants from a wall…?

A normal day on the Odysseus ship 🫗

[sydneyofalltrades]

athena gifts the royal family of ithaca with many things, many presents and tokens of her affections, and a few things stay with her throughout her immortal life.

to her first friend after pallas, a mortal man who bested her boar and revealed her identity on a whim, she bestowed a charm of wit and time, allowing him access to any weapon in any moment of need, and the faint ability to tap into his memories. athena herself wears the matching charm on her belt like he does, for a thought shared is halved.

for his son, her first true friend, a little wolf of courage and honor, she gifted a golden laurel crown. fit for the young prince, fit for a winner. his warm, crooked smile and bright eyes, so reminiscent of his father’s, gave athena the idea to create one after his first real fight. she now swaps her helmet for a matching laurel wreath of blue and grey upon her red curls.

for the queen of ithaca, a woman so witty she kept over a hundred suitors stagnant for 20 years, athena blessed her with sharp, clear memories of the man she loved. of stories she could tell their son, of moments in her mind that struck her as if she really was living the moment. so that while he was gone, she would never forget his face, the sound of his laughter, the warmth of his arms around her.

Me, motivating myself to get through work as if I have a family waiting for me:

🎶"And Ithaca's waiting!

My kingdom is waiting!

Penelope's waiting for me!" 🎶

I love that the lyric “He is the man-made monster” in Different Beast, while listening, can be interpreted as man-made monster, meaning Odysseus’ monstrosity comes from the actions of man, or it could mean man made monster, meaning Odysseus is a man turned into a monster
