it's actually surreal that it's done
I can’t be the only one who thought this was absolutely terrifying
I had the book so I just took a picture
(sorry that the quality is bad)
I've been meaning to read the Illiad and the Odyssey for ages but keep putting it off cause I've heard they're hard reads/written kinda complicated. I was just wondering if the version you have is an easier read? What's the writing style like?
I would say it is a slightly easier read than some of the ones I’ve read in the past! Emily Wilson’s are structured into a more poem/verse type story, and since they are newer translations I would say they have the advantage of more so modern language?
These are pictures of the first page of two of my versions of the Odyssey! The first is the Emily Wilson Translation (2018) and the second is Samuel Butler (1900)
And this one is one from the first page of Emily Wilson’s Iliad (2023) (I don’t have another to compare it to sadly)
Overall I greatly enjoy her translations! I’m not done reading her Iliad yet, but so far it is turning out to be really good!!!

@jarondont
oh we know at least a candidate for telemachus btw!
theres one guy who shows up that we dont recognize and thats miguel veloso! and jay said that both penelope AND telemachus sing in keep your friends close (the song i yoinked the credits from) which means theres a high chance that this is who plays telemachus!
this mightve alr been brought up but i felt the need to show you this just in case since ur the epic blog
I believe he is Telemachus! He has been credited as the voice of Telemachus on the wiki for a bit (which I know isn’t always the most reliable source of info) but in addition there is this clip that someone found of him singing Legendary!!
@gigizetz
you should animate this
A NEW PART OF A CUT SONG!!!
(it’s such a bop, I love it so much- NOT TO MENTION WE COULD HAVE HAD THE WORD YEET IN EPIC?!?! IM DYING YALL)
it took me so long to realize that the thunder saga was released on July 4, Independence Day, because that’s when ody does become independent. 🥲🥲
I love these designs so fucking much and I’m SO ready for Telemachus
Looking forward to them appearing in the next Saga 🤍
Can't wait to hear Polites die again
Hello Winions!! Some lovely people over on the Epic Discord have conspired to put together a thank you card of sorts for Jorge before the Thunder Saga comes out!!! Just to show our appreciation, and how much we love the work he is doing!
Basically you fill out this little form, and leave a short note for Jay (or just your name)!
(I’m not running this, but let me know if you have any questions, and I can pass them along!)
did anyone else notice that in Percy Jackson and The Olympian’s episode 6, you can hear Nico? It’s a little easter egg that Rick put there. It took me a while to notice it, but if you listen closely you can hear someone saying ‘Bianca, Bianca,’. He sounds so tiny, and later on at the vr game you see someone with a bow and arrow and a kid with his back turned to us. You can even see Grover visibly react to hearing this, he looks around and can tell when a demigod is around because he’s a satyr. The time stamp is 12:32 seconds, and you can hear it again 20:15 (some people say you can hear a girl saying Nico at 20:17, but I can’t hear it)
“Well, you know, Jay, I have been running for a long time. My entire life, which is about four million of your lifetimes. And, I don’t know if it helps or not, but it doesn’t stop. And there’s nothing bad about that, ‘cause there’s energy in it. And sometimes it’s nice to slow down and look out and…enjoy the view but, there’s nothing like the wind in your hair. So, if you’re gonna go fast, at least have fun with it ” —Hermes, February 28, 2024
no but this is so true 😭😭😭😭 all my friends look at me like I’m crazy and say they don’t care
Blank version under the cut
wait, so if Telemachus says yes I can marry him?
girl has “no we can’t share him” but you are already sharing him with another Circe and a son of Gaea
I didn’t know of the child of Gaea situation until it was already out of my control, and the other circe is still me. And thats what Telemachus wanted to do. If he’s okay with it im all for it. Also, your explanation wasn’t grammatically correct, anon.
We absolutely have to do this.
Alright, winions, about a week left before the Thunder Saga releases, and I have a challenge for you all.
Last time, for the release of the Underworld Saga, we got #epic the musical trending to #2 on Tumblr.
This time, we must get it to #1.
LET'S DO THIS WINIONS!
whoever reblogs this gets a hug from me
am I gonna have to fight you for him?
So….are you? Are you single?
uhhhh ummm
omg this sounds so good
I EDITED ALL THE CLIPS OF LUKE HOLT SINGING THUNDER BRINGER TOGETHER. ENJOY.
if Telemachus has 100 fans, I'm one of them. If Telemachus has 1 fan, it's me. If Telemachus has no fans, I’m dead.
So is there any way to get an account banned??? Because if there is we should do that to that account that bases their entire page on stealing and whitewashing all Annabeth fanart. I think it’s called notmyannabeth or something like that. In no way should anyone who does that be allowed to have a platform
just a reminder that the “creator” @ notmyannabeth is taking fanart of leah’s annabeth and whitewashing it!! do not like from that account
i’m going to look for all the original fan art and tag the actual artists
