LITERALLY

FOR REAL!! Like he’s talking to a therapist and she’s like: BITCH WHAT-

Hes such a mood lmao

@@Ghostinasuit He's sooooo ready for a girls night

And Circe looks so surprised too

my thoughts exactly haha

It’s giving “I miss my wife tails”

Hermes: and Odysseus is like: “I’m sad, I miss my wife, everybody’s dying.” And I’m like: “Hey! Let’s party!” (Jay Rivera instagram callback)

He did what Hamilton couldn’t do and that was saying no to this

OMG YES

​@user-qj7vv6sf4x yeah cuz Odysseus IS smarter than Alex apparently

​@@daniellechristine4823 well yeah, Alex ruined his own life, Ody ruined everyone else's but his, that's kinda big brain

Well…Sorry to ruin your immersion but In the source material He did hook up and have a kid with circie

Saaaaame!!!!!

YES OMG LOL

Well that summarizes this entire song.

Why is that so in line with Epic’s version of Odysseus

​@@halosithmaycry3529, this entire song and really the whole musical

No, no. That's more of Calypso's song in "love in paradise"

Heck yeah profit is dead in this economy.

Lol prophet not profit, but you're right it's amazing animation

Profit is dead? Circe is a communist confirmed!!!

Ikr, it was so pretty and smooth ❤❤❤

Fr

That's actually the canon take 😅 But I had a similar interpretation as you when I first listened to the song

It makes so much more sense

I love that, too!

I loved that bit. And Odysseus’ nervous wave to them.

Honestly that's what I thought

That was such a nice touch

YUHH

I absolutely loved that 😍😍😍

Omg, I loved that too 🖤

so true, so true

Penelope is THE WOMAN I WOULD TRADE ANY GODDESS FOR

Or Odysseus must be one hell of a man to turn her down. EPIC Odysseys, at least...

@@enigmatic3194 odysseus in general :"D

True

I like this idea, it's wholesome amongst the man becoming monster theme ( which I am so obsessed with too 😂)

I really love this idea, and you're right, it's the thing that helps him the most throughout the story/musical and actually the thing that makes him win the help and compassion of two gods when he most needs it and without which he would have never been able to return home, if they had continued being his enemies and being against him and disagreeing to help him

“That’s a long ass weekend, dude.”

​@@FloatyyBrain LMAO

Omg Elpenor!!!

OH NO

LMAO I HADN'T SEE THE EASTEREGG

amazing. beautiful

DUDE IS DEAD

You're so real for that

Lets not talk about the canon kid between Circe and Odysseus that this musical avoided 😭😭😭

@@galletonfruna8474what kid! I don’t remember any kid! You must be mistaken! 😬🤫

​@@galletonfruna8474 "there is no telegony in ba sing se" Also it's not really a homeric hymn but written far after, so people usually just don't consider it.

@@mattmayhem4377 its not on the homeric odyssey but some authors mention this child who actually is the one who causes the death of Odysseus once he is the king of Ithaca again. Search 'Telegonus', in some traditions he is the child of Calypso but its most accepted to be Circe's

I like the idea that it was only the food that turned you into a pig, and Elpenor went up to the roof with his wine first chance he got without eating anything. Its just funny to me imagining him their during the entire circe saga until he falls off at the end.

Omg… I just noticed that cause I saw this comment. GIGI YOU GENIUS! I love this masterpiece and a,l your woe for EPIC so dang much.

I loved that touch

Platonic?💀💀 he has three children with her, supposedly and then telemachus married her.

​@@JamalPrice-wq2sv well if you think about Odysseus' relationship with Circe was purely sexual, not like he had much of a choice cuz Circe would just end him if she really wanted to. He still very much loves his wife and he did what he had to do with Circe to get him and his men back alive

​@@JamalPrice-wq2svand also theyre specifically talking about the platonic gesture in THIS animatic, not to say that Odysseus and Circe has a platonic relationship in the odyssey

​@@JamalPrice-wq2svin this context it's platonic. Just like Hermes didn't have synth electropop playing when he talked and Polites was barely there

Thanks for making me notice that!

GODDAMMIT ELPENOR

​@@niroshanaperera7330Tbh it isn' that hard to spot. Imagine surviving a 10 year war, a cyclop, the fucking god of the sea but dying like that

Yay somebody noticed! :D

NAH... ME NEXT

Ngl, I woulda died there. Like how in the hell could you resist THAT

@@da_goat6678 FRR

Nah bud, telemachus is her husband though.

@@JamalPrice-wq2sv I’m aware, but that’s much after Odysseus & Circe first meet. Additionally, I don’t believe it was ever stayed in the Odyssey that Telemachus wedded Circe, but that’s a whole other page of research for me.

@@Rowan_River You're right! The Circe married Telemachus and Penelope married Telegonus was only stated in Telegony/Thesprotis and far as I know, wasn't written by Homer (the guy that write/documented the original Odyssey poems)

@@TomatenUndZwiebelSuppe pretty sure the Telegony was written by Eugammon but I may be wrong.

⁠@@TomatenUndZwiebelSuppewe should treat Greek mythology like SCP lore whatever you want is canon

IT'S NOT FAAIR

@@remnants9974if that’s what it takes…

Ik it's so sweet that their on edge but trust Circe implicitly!

same

Theres always a curse involved if he did.

But he did. Btw did you know telemachus married her?

​@@JamalPrice-wq2sv Well, he did technically h00k up with Circe, well it wasn't in his power to do so, as he was a mortal, compared to Circe, she's a literal witch, making him more helpless. I forgot why he did so, but he had to sleep with Circe so she can build trust with him or something like that, that's what I remember from the Circe book. Nonetheless, he still longed for Penelope🥲

To be fair, someone had to have told telemachus about circe, prolly put in a good word too considering telemachus went and married her.😂😂

Dont worry. He'll get down alright :)

Oh he will get down, one way or another.

OMG YES, *WE ARE THE WINIONS*

Gigi posted No Longer You before this and he does look old. I wonder why the redisign unless they plan to make a new version

​@naiaracruseno9868 yeah, I think the "No longer you" was with Jorge's demo so it was before the reveal that he's supposed to look young in Epic

YOO MORTIUS so glad you liked it!! :D

Have you noticed Elpenor in the video?

I was going to like your comment but it matched with the time

And asparagus

Ngl even in the canon I'd argue Odysseus didn't have much of a choice anyway… Which makes Odysseus even more of a baller, somehow.

@@Th4t1sm3 I'll fight the dust

Actually, the latter stories are put into question, being believed it's the equivalent to fanfics.

Hi, currently reading the Odyssey. Circe basically forced Odysseus to lay with her or else she wouldn’t turn his men back. It explicitly states in the book that “in his heart, he did not consent”.

​@@blastymcsplode8265 the way Circe invites him "let's go together on *our* bed" followed by "YOUR bed" by Odysseus is so powerful in depicting that unparticipation by the Greek hero - and so is the lack of any poetic dwelling into the act - in the end, it's just "And I leapted into her beautiful bed" It's not Circe that's doing the forcing though, it's more Hermes that tells him he will have to do that to free his men. It's a "This is the will of the Gods" situation again. She is manipulating him in order to hurt him, yes, but when they reach an agreement on the situation - Odysseus makes her swear she will not hurt him if he goes into bed with her - it's more of a power struggle than actual erotic tension: Circe cannot take back her offer because it would prove that it was only a failed expedient and it would show weakness in a situation where she is already defeated, while Odysseus cannot risk to anger a goddess again (and also, because Hermes told him he will have to and going against the will of gods is not a suitable option) That bit "in my heart I never did consent" sounds a bit weird to me (I'm Italian and I've studied Greek in high school): my Odyssey's textbook says "but she never persuaded my heart in the chest", and in both instances it comes up in reference to the proposals of Circe and Calypso who asked him to marry them. That's not consent in the modern sense of the way - it would never be, ofc - but I guess it still holds the "you won't have my heart, I'm not in this, I still long for Penelope" vibe? Also, let's remind that in both cases it's *HIM* telling the story to the Phaeacians, so Odysseus might be a bit of unreliable narrator on what he really holds in his heart, but we have no way to prove that. He stays with Circe for a year until his crew says "ohi, you gotta go" though, so she could be wicked as he wants to depict her, still leapt in that beautiful bed A LOT. It just doesn't serve him well to kiss and tell.

Damn, bro put effort into that comment.👍👍

@@JamalPrice-wq2sv that's what bad weather on vacation, hyperfixation and IT'S BEEN FIVE LONG YEEEAAAAAARS of Ancient Greek can do to you, my friend.

Well, back then, if you didn't enjoy the Boombaya and we're forcefully forced to make love with another person, then it wasn't considered cheating. Odysseus was forced into making love with these 2 goddesses by force. Therefore, it wasn't cheating in those terms

​@@SIMPLY_GJand it's NOT cheating. That would imply agency, which he didn't have in the OG myth. It's kinda weird Hera doesn't take into account some of Zeus's wives didn't have agency either, since he didn't always reveal himself during his sessions. That makes some of her punishments very unfair. It's also a shame she staged only one coup against her husband, but never tried it again later.

I also noticed that the colour pallet changes to that of Monster when she talks about the Underworld, gigi you genius.

his face gets even softer at 1:19 hes so in love I'm going to cry

3:15 look on the roof
