#because the debate about Odysseus and Circe (and Calypso too) has been going on long before the musical

[gotstabbedbyapen]

The Circe Saga is coming close, so here are some reminders for everyone!

1. "There Are Other Ways" is NOT the same as "Say No To This".

Whether we go by the original context or the musical context, Hamilton was blackmailed FOR sleeping with a woman, while Odysseus was blackmailed INTO sleeping with a goddess. Hamilton can say "no" and go on his day, but Odysseus will get smote.

I get that the vibes of these songs are similar, but they are NOT THE SAME SITUATION!!! Please don't fall for the thought trap that Odysseus was seduced or purposefully cheated on his wife. He was terrified of Circe but had to do what he could to save his and his crew's lives.

2. Either you love, hate, or have complicated feelings with Circe, PLEASE DON'T ATTACK OTHER PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT VIEWS OF HER!!!

Circe is a complicated character, and there are mixed opinions about her. I know that people who read "Circe" novel, The Odyssey, or any other works with Circe in it will have disagreements, but please resolve them on your blogs instead of the Epic comment sections.

We don't want people to break into fights and ruin the musical experience for everyone.

Thank you for your cooperation!
