#take that polyphemus

[frommyblog]

hey guess what my new hyperfixation is guys

[galedekarios]

fighting polyphemus is infinitely more funny if you have the knuckle bones equipped

The curse of no one around me irl knowing or caring about Greek mythology or the odyssey is that no one understands why I’m annoyed about people complaining that one of the songs in the epic ocean saga isn’t the ‘get in the water’ because that’s not how the fucking odyssey works!!!!!

HOT TAKE

Cyclops saga is SEVERELY UNDERRATED.

Like, when checking Epic’s most popular songs, Cyclops saga songs seem to be less popular. Like. Remember them? Survive? The smooth ass transition from Polyphemus to Survive? Athena’s solo in Remember them? The moment where Polyphemus goes apeshit in Survive? Like- chefs kiss. I could listen to those four songs on repeat fifty times.

Did anyone else feel just a teensy little bit bad for Polyphemus when he was like “don’t go!” during Remember Them? Like yes, I’ve got a grudge and he can fight me but also,,,,, they left him 🥺 and they did kill his favorite sheep

[penepoly]

zeus saying "no one wins my game" is further proof for me that the whole "you or your crew" thing wasn't to be trusted either. if odysseus had chosen to die to save his men, zeus would've laughed and simply killed them all--both odysseus and the crew. or at least that's what i believe

Whenever I think back on Odysseus Doxxing himself to Polyphemus in Remember Them, I can’t help but feel pity for the man.

Now from an outsiders POV it just seems like Arrogance and pride which isn’t entirely wrong.

But when you look at it from Odysseus POV it’s more than that.

Polites, One of Ody Best (Childhood) Friend who was practically his light just died in an instant. He couldn’t save him, couldn’t warn him. He.just.died.

He couldn’t even process or mourn because his Second in command- his Brother is looking at him in a terrified manner because, oh yeah! He and his men (43?) are in the cave that has a Cyclops that’ll kill them off one by one who is also blocking the exit!

They can’t kill him bc he’s blocking the exit but the Lotus Fruit that Ody snuck in the wine will eventually wear off. So they have to blind him if they’re gonna escape.

But! They realize that there’s more! So now, without alerting any of the cyclops, Odysseus has to get Himself, his men, and the sheep outside the cave as quickly and quietly as possible.

Without any sort of warning however he’s thrusted into Quick Thought by his mentor, Athena, who -with no explanation- tells him that he has to kill the blinded cyclops who would most likely get more men, if not all, killed while also alerting the other Cyclops and most likely Gods and Godesses.

Now to point out. Odysseus is not keen with murder or death and chooses to avoid the most safest options available if it means the safety for his crew.

But at this point. He’s stressed, Terrifired, Tired, Sad-

And most importantly

Angry.

So him basically doxxing himself was literally just Ody saying to Athena “Look! Look! He’s not killing us! Is he? No! He’s not! Murder isn’t the solution to every little thing! Ok! Ok!” Why? Because he’s so tired and just wants to get home.

is it just me or is hades 2 so much easier than the first game? like at first i thought "holy shit im a gamer" and im definitely BETTER at this game type than i used to be

but then i played lots of the first one while i was out of town and my god. i wish i had thanatos' pin in the second game cuz it is so much easier to go hitless in the first realm of that one than in the other. i get to chronos with more death defiances than i do the fucking satyrs

either they gotta bump up the base difficulty level or i am bad in all the most confusing ways

[vivalu]

Okay y'all gotta stick with me through this one. Toxic yuri odypen. Now listen to me: toxic yuri odypen in kakeguri

[peppermint-whiskers]

So uh,,,,,,

Fuck me, I guess all the Epic songs have a chokehold on me now,,,,

Who broke it - EPIC edition

Hermes: so, who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know

...

Polites: I did. I broke it-

Hermes: No. No, you didn't, Odysseus?

Odysseus: Don't look at me. Look at Eurylochus

Eurylochus: What!? I didn't break it.

Odysseus: Huh, that's weird, how did you know it was broken?

Eurylochus: ... Because it's sitting right in front of us. And it's broken.

Odysseus: Suspicious

Eurylochus: No it's not-

Circe: If it matters, probably not, but, Polyphemus was the last one to use it

Polyphemus: Why- I don't even drink that crap! Not after what happened last time

Circe: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the wine amphoras earlier?

Polyphemus: I Use The Wooden Stirs To Put Back My Cuticles EVERYONE KNOWS THAT

Polites: Okay, okay, let's not fight, I broke it, let me pay for it-

Hermes: No. Who broke it?

...

Odysseus: Grandpa, Zeus has been awfully quiet-

Zeus: REALLY?

*A loud argument ensues, it may or may not involve some sheep and lightning. Polites is trying to calm everyone down*

*Hermes sits down with Athena and Poseidon, who were watching the whole thing unfold*

Poseidon: I broke it. It hit my toe so I punched it.

Athena: I predict ten minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with war paint on their faces and a boar head on a stick.

Hermes (knew everything from the start): Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

Polyphemus is next!

Survive from the Epic Musical: Cyclops Saga but it's from the POV of ants raiding my kitchen while I try to get rid of them

[dolokhoded]

epic the musical can die by my blade i don't think there's anything actually wrong with i'm just abhorred by the amount of tenors and think everyone sounds like the vocal equivalent of an iphone face

[keikoayano]

Hmmmm Odysseus taking Polites’ headband after… you know… and carefully cutting it in half to make two strips. Eurylochus gets one and ties it to the hilt of his sword. Odysseus puts his either on his bow or his quiver (because I don’t know enough about bows to know if that would mess up the balance when using it). It is a memento and a reminder for them that you have to make the hard choices for the protection of those you care about
