Flies, little wolf, flies!

i did it. The battle was long and bloody, but i believe i finally killed all the flies in the room. Blessed silence at last

#said an excited Antinous who’s never seen a fly before

This one is so cool I really love it! (Specifically: Egyptian myths/Greek myths: both! The Egyptian Book of the Dead is such a fascinating collection of ancient texts, and I really love their depiction of the afterlife…and as for Greek myths, hehehe… *chaotic gremlin laugh* typewritten/handwritten: both, since I’ve been handwriting for so long, and now I’m getting into typewriting mode)

RIP Elpenor you would have loved a cocktail party

Fun fact about the underworld saga:

‘558 men who died under your command’ from The Underworld, combined with ‘43 left under your command’ from Ruthlessness, doesn’t add up to 600 men.

Which means that the guy who fell off Circe’s roof and died is canon to Epic the musical.

Edit: it’s confirmed!

#I died and nobody noticed #I died and nobody cared #Elpenor how did this happen? #when did you meet your despair? #I drank wine from a chalice #on top of Circe’s palace #and fell and broke my neck in shame #but what do you care~ #so many deaths happen under your reign #All—

Will do immediately

Tbh Argonautica should be the one which means a grand journey, since Odyssey literally means “a long, hard journey full of trials and tribulations”

And let’s incorporate more words. Imagine you were in a fight and your friend wasn’t helping and then you called it an Iliad. You and your homies were exchanging some interesting stories and you called that Metamorphoses. Someone hurt you behind your back and you call it a Telegony or an Acanthoplex. You and your homies were having some quality time doing stuff for your fathers and that’s an Epigoni. You were in an unfair contest and you call that a little Iliad. You suffered a great loss, that’s an Iliupersis. You and your homies were coming home now, it’s literally Nostoi.

I don’t want to incorporate Oedipodea.

I find it funny that "Odyssey" became like, a word you can use to just mean journey. Like imagine if you were having a family argument and said "ugh, it's such an Oresteia." Or "yeah we're honeymooning in Italy, taking a little Aeneid."

Hylas being left behind by the Argonauts and getting kidnapped by the Naiads in the Argonautica is giving the vibes of Elpenor being left behind by Odysseus’s crew and getting himself killed in the Odyssey

#In either story #Heracles appeared #tagamemnon #the odyssey #greek mythology #the argonautica #jason and the argonauts #elpenor #hylas #Nevertheless it is heartbreaking to see Heracles searching for his lost friend desperately and being left behind by other Argonauts #Meanwhile…for the one whose death was noticed and cared by nobody—

gotta love the ask box

Well, that’s what popped in my head when I was trying to name the ask box…

Should probably put a “welcome to the lair of Charybdis” in the blog description as well

Yes I’m waking up but do you think Odysseus woke up every day thinking about his homeland and his family? Yes I need to brush my teeth but Odysseus had to drop an infant off the walls of Troy, unless Neoptolemus did that for him Yes breakfast is good but Odysseus is trapped in a Cyclops’s cave Yes I have to do my work but Odysseus had to go to bed with Circe only then will his men be released Yes lunch is appetizing but Odysseus is in the Underworld meeting his past now Yes I should decide whether to take a nap or not, but Odysseus had to go between Scylla and Charybdis Yes I still have work to do but Odysseus’s crew just disobeyed his order and ate Helios’s cattle Yes dinner is delicious but Odysseus is still trapped on Ogygia ;-; Yes I know we have to do the dishes after dinner, but do you know that Odysseus had to kill all the suitors just to reunite with Penelope? Yes I should sleep now but do you think that Odysseus could finally feel happiness when he was in the olive-tree bed with Penelope, while Athena was prolonging the night just for them?

why is achilles the only demigod who's Like That? like he's my boy but u don't see memnon or aeneas or sarpedon acting like him on the reg. why is he so maladjusted? like specifically? I saw his mother once and was so terrified by the sight of a goddess I flung myself to the ground and hid my face in the dirt til she left but I still don't think that accounts for it idk

I was the one who wrote the achilles/agamemnon 100k slowburn enemies to lovers rpf and put it on the group chat but now patroclus is calling me 'agachilles boy' and laughing about it and asking if I can proofread his mock bardic epic where all his dogs are heroes and killing people, so I fear I've made a mistake. I also can't look achilles in the eye anymore... but honestly I've never seen proof he can read so I might be safe

imagine being the achaeans and your best warrior gets killed by PARIS, after everyone else had awesome deaths at the hands of sarpedon or hector or memnon... like that's literally so embarassing I just know achilles is fucking fuming down in hades rn. I bet the achaeans are gonna put around that paris was guided by apollo, or that paris happened to hit his only weak spot..... anything 2 try and make it less cringe.... lol lol we're popping the biggest bottles tonight. hope helen's there

#GREATEST POST OF ALL TIMES #tagamemnon #greek mythology #the iliad #posthomerica

[lyculuscaelus]

Still imagining Sirens’ song as a song that tells all one knows on Earth, and all one needs to know.

It tells everything you desire to know. All the knowledge, all the stories, are compiled into one song. That’s exactly what makes the song beautiful.

It tells dangerous truth, the allure of which nobody can escape. It shows a truth that is so fundamental and so beautiful, a truth that one wishes to grasp even when it means to risk their all, a truth that is worth dying for.

They know it’s the truth, because of the melody.

It is dangerous because that all who have heard it, know.

They know too much, and they themselves become dangerous. They now hold secrets that shall not be conversed about with others. And the knowledge itself has changed them. They won’t live a normal life the same as it once was, for their mind has been opened. Gods are only granting them mercy by permitting them to be allured to death.

Orpheus knew the consequences. So he interfered it with his lyre, overlaying the song with mythical tones. And the truth remained safely hidden.

Until that man came.

#It’s just a headcanon #But think abt it: what if Icarus did reach the sun? #what if Bellerophon did reach Mount Olympus? #just think abt the similarities #Now if I bring in a more modern take #to say that the Sirens are revealing the truth of the Universe #to say that their song conveys the comprehension in an instant #so that Odysseus would be the only one guarding the secrets #the one that knew so much but could tell so little #yes I’ll see myself out #But also #Butes lived and nobody noticed #tagamemnon #the odyssey #homer’s odyssey #orpheus #odysseus #sirens #siren songs #jason and the argonauts #greek mythology

I love EPIC as much as I love the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

Thank you Jorge-Rivera-Herrans

I spend the past three hours obsessing over EPIC (again)

The storytelling is the most beautiful thing in existence.

When I say I love multimedia cinematic storytelling.

This.

This is what I mean.

The music

The lyrics

The vocalists

The audio design

The storytelling

The production

The passion of the creator

The fandom

The themes and questions of morality

The complex and lovable and hate-able characters

The animators incredibly talented visualizations

The fact that this is retelling a story that has been told for more than two thousand years and still keeps getting retold, people from different millennia and all centuries have listened to and read this story

Everything about this is the peak perfection of art, storytelling and the phenomenon when humans join forces brought together by a vision and passion and pouring their heart and souls into a project to create something that will be forever unique

I am so grateful to live during a time where this exists.
