Now That The Thunder Saga Is Here, No Longer You Is SO Much Clearer!!

Now that the Thunder Saga is here, No Longer You is SO much clearer!!

Jay finally gave us the first four lines of the chorus vocals at the end, because they help interpret Tiresias's first verse:

"I see a song of past romance" -> "Siren Song" -> the song Suffering, in which "Penelope" sings to Odysseus

"I see the sacrifice of man" -> "Scylla throat" -> the song Scylla, in which Odysseus decides to let Scylla kill six men so the ship may pass through

"I see portrayals of betrayal and a brother's final stand" -> "Mutiny" -> the song of the same name, in which the crew betrays Odysseus and Eurylochus (who Odysseus calls "brother") stands against him

"I see you on the brink of death. I see you draw your final breath" -> "Lightning bolt" -> the song Thunder Bringer, where Odysseus is nearly killed by Zeus and is almost drowned, and in which he sacrifices his crew (further cementing him as a monster)

If you watched the live stream, you'd also have seen Jay mouth along to the very final part of the chorus, which I have long suspected (and now know!) to be "Od-y-sse-us," in the Danger Motif, foreshadowing his monstrous, vengeful presence in the song of his name.

That means that the chorus' only other two lines must connect to the time in between the end of this saga and the beginning of his revenge--if anyone has any new ideas as to what they are saying, please share!! Isn't it so cool how the sagas are so thoughtfully connected???

Having your own personal blog is honestly quite a nice change of pace compared to Reddit. I could put a funny GIF of George Bush getting hit by a shoe on here and the worse case scenario is that no one even notices.

You put that on a big subreddit and you get your eyes gouged out and a heap of political discourse underneath your post.

okay so post epic odyssey where odysseus and Penelope have surfaced from their room finally and he and diomedes are catching up I'm imagining the conversation going something like this

Odysseus: so then I gave up being merciful and became the monster.

Diomedes:....you tried being merciful?

Odysseus: Yes?

Diomedes: you did? You tried being a good merciful person? You?

Odysseus: Yah okay fuck off it was polties dying wish. I had to try.

Diomedes:.....90% of the war crimes in the Trojan war were suggested, planned out, and carried out by you. We literally stoned to death the guy you had a personal grudge against. We framed him for treason and stoned him to death. 70% of why Athena liked you was because she thought she knew all the ways to kill someone and then you'd suggest something insane and I'd see her taking notes. You literally gave Ajex a psyoctic break just being yourself.

Odysseus: shut up

Diomedes: I'm not wrong. Did you tell Penelope about your attempt to be a good person?

Odysseus: What? Of course I did. I told her everything.

Diomedes: did she laugh?

Odysseus:...shut up that's not the point

Diomedes: she did didn't she!!!

Odysseus: ANYWAY eurylochus wasn't appreciative of my return to monsterhood and he started causing problems so I

Diomedes: killed him? Yah saw that coming. No shit. I'm so shocked.
