Love How The Start Of Odysseus Is The Same As The Horse And Infant

Mates take a pill ever so kindly. The stream has been canceled as confirmed by Jorge. It sucks, but it’s something out of his control. I have a suspicion that everyone screaming “Captain!!!” Will make whatever it is more stressful.

the friend group basically

I keep seeing many theories as to how Odysseus was able to defeat Poseidon in 600 Strike and I desperately need Jorge to confirm at least one of them.

So far the two I’ve been seeing a lot are what I’ll call the “Boon of Ares Theory” where Odysseus is being blessed by Ares as well as what I’ll call the “600 Shades Theory” in which The Shades of Odysseus’ fleet (and Anticlea) are are empowering Odysseus, hence the name “600 Strike”.

High key like the 600 Shades theory more, and I also need an explanation as to why the voicelines change for both Polites and Eurylochus. Why now does Polites say “you can relax, my friend” and why does Eurylochus say “after all we’ve lost and all we’ve learned”? Why those lines specifically???

Actively filing a request to Jorge. Every detail that’s written in Epic is INTENTIONAL.

Something that I greatly respect Jorge for, is putting all of these little Easter eggs in each Epic song. Aside from listening to them on repeat because they slap, you can also listen to them on repeat and notice details in the music that you never knew were there.

i can't help laughing at the "you don't understand, this man plans for every fight!" line. because like. isn't that fighting 101. have a plan? "no no! we have to be careful! this man thinks!"

Genuine question how do you pronounce Ctimene’s name??? Like is the C silent? Is the T silent????

CAPTAIN AHAB HAD ONE. JOB.

To those who haven’t listened to Get in The Water without headphones, or who have but haven’t noticed this…

When you hear the voices Polites and Eurylochus’ shades, you hear Polites in your right ear and then Eurylochus in your left.

Then you hear Anticlea and Odysseus’ fleet in both ears.

I’m unwell :)

I genuinely forgot how hard vengeance slaps and all of the full speed ahead motifs go INSANE

Valid. I’d also love sit Jorge down and ever so kindly ask him 100+ questions abt Epic. Like yes, yap to me about your massive 3 year long project please. Yap about the decisions you’ve made for Odysseus’ narrative. Tell me why you picked certain instruments for certain characters. Tell me why you removed certain characters and arcs like Lucothea and Nausica. Yap to me for hours on end about all of the cut songs you have stashed away, tell me what it was like writing for these 3 to 4 years. Tell me how many times you’ve had to check and double check the Odyssey and how intently it needed to be studied for this musical to happen.

Oh to be able to sit down with Jorge Rivera-Herrans and absolutely bombard him with so many questions about Epic. Guys I’m currently about to get my Ancient World Studies honours and double major in drama that’s really interested in literature, how receptions shape the public opinions about said literature, and how people go about making these decisions this like my thing and I love Epic SO MUCH. You don’t understand how much this MEANS TO ME
