The Trojans Eat This Up

aaaaaaaaaaaa the iliad/odyssey as cat memes aaaaaaaaaaaaa

i swear every day i notice something new in Epic

the little piano notes in Puppeteer playing the Luck Runs Out melody starting around the 30 second mark?? i heard the other riffs but missed this one. oh man. Ody wanting to be alone, remembering how Eurylochus warned him. thinking about the 551 men who died because of him. Eurylochus remembering it too, but he doesn’t seem to hold resentment, just the guilt of knowing him opening the wind bag got them there. Ody maybe knowing about the wind bag already and pushing Eurylochus away so he doesn’t have to hear it when he’s already lost so many friends…

what a masterpiece

oh no it’s super human mob boss antinous run

context from jorge’s video lol

he's just a (warlord) <3

Antinous: You said you were going to a spiritual retreat

Telemachus: Namaste

Antinous: AND YOU- were supposedly dead.

Odysseus: I recovered.

Fun fact: Antinous is on the table

In the disjointed modern au in my mind I gave Odysseus a ranch and he drives a truck/tractor but also he's kind of like a lawyer/legal consultant that gets pulled out of retirement by mega crime boss Agamemnon to represent Menelaus in a messy and extremely publicized divorce case

I've yet to see anyone else mention this but I've been thinking about it nonstop so-

In Would You Fall In Love With Me Again,

Ody says "I know that you've been waiting for love"

And in Penelope's verse she says "Know that I've been waiting for you"

SO she's like "no, I wasn't waiting for love. I was waiting for you." AND OUGH.

Bet girly pop was so offended, like bro, you think I've been waiting just to be loved? Just to have love? Yes, I love you. And I know you love me. But I was waiting for you. You specifically.

I'm not good enough at words to express what I feel about this but it's a lot and I think about it a lot.

some itty bitty father son bonding

600 strikes simplified

A bit rushed
