Just Got Here. Let’s See What Happens :)

As I am listening to God Games, I has dawned on me that when Athena calls Ares out and tells him to hold his tongue, the following melody is the bit in Warrior of The Mind in which Athena is singing about young Odysseus. Ya know, the “one day a boy came for the thrill” bit.

Actively filing a complaint, going bonkers, screaming and crying. Jorge Riverra Herrans once again ripping our hearts out. He may continue doing so.

Spoilers technically⚠️

I know that Odysseus cries A LOT in the Odyssey, which is fine and ok and very healthy, but it also something hits different in Epic where we see Odysseus really lets out all of his relief and tears when he embraces Telemachus and ESPECIALLY Penelope.

This post is an outlier from the usual mythos tangents

I tried to watch Black Sails, and I fear that I might be missing something. Like, the costuming and acting is really good (and the opening slaps), but the first episode felt…not interesting? Does it pick up later? I feel bad since a lot of people really like the show. All respect to people who do like the show though, I don’t have anything really against it.

If I’m not missing something, are there any other pirate shows you mates would recommend? I’ve only really seen Pirates of the Caribbean and Our Flag Means Death.

Spoilers for Ithaca Saga⚠️

NOT ODYSSEUS’ NAME BEING SUNG IN THE DANGER IS NEAR MOTIF

AAAAAAAAAAA

Hey do you mates think that Barbosa and his crew were like…kinda normal when they were first cursed? Like….they were human and can indulge in food and drink and company, but their bodies began to decay until the point that they are starving and thirsty?

Mates! Odysseus returns home! TONIGHT! Ithaca Saga watch party is tonight at 9pm EST!

Going to war for 10 years and will take another 10 years to return to Ithaka where my wife and son wait for me (I’ll be gone for a week, it’ll feel like a month, and my cat and dogs have little to no sense of time I fear)

Because my brain isn’t decomposing fast enough with all of my Odyssey content, I have decided to make a playlist for songs that remind me of Odysseus.

So far I only have two songs, but I’m trying to expand on this playlist and am inquiring on any recommendations. I will have at minimum one Epic song I just don’t know which one yet.

For vibe example the two songs I’ve got are Leave a Light On by Papa Roach, and Ulysses by Josh Garrels.

I will be taking as many recommendations as I can

There are so many books I want to read, but alas, I am SO BUSY.
