THERE ARE OTHER WAYS DID NOT GO WHERE I WAS EXPECTING IT TO OH MY GOD /POS

PENELOPE’S THEME AND INSTRUMENT?? ODYSSEUS BEING QUITE LITERALLY BACKED INTO A CORNER AND HAVING SEEMINGLY NO OTHER WAY TO SAVE HIS MEN BUT STILL NOT BEING ABLE TO BRING HIMSELF TO GO THROUGH WITH THE ACT (EVEN THO IT WOULDN’T BE A TRUE ACT OF BETRAYAL BECAUSE THERE’S NO ACTUAL CONSENT ON HIS SIDE AND IT WAS SOMETHING HE WAS ABOUT TO BE COERCED INTO)??? CIRCE BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BEFORE AND BELIEVING THAT “BECOMING THE PUPPETEER” IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP HERSELF AND HER NYMPHS SAFE SO SHE OFFERS THIS “ACT OF PASSION” TO STILL HAVE A FORM OF CONTROL, AND THEN SEEING ODYSSEUS IS NOT LIKE THOSE BEFORE BECAUSE HE’S SO IN LOVE WITH PENELOPE (WHO HE HASN’T SEEN IN 12 YEARS) THAT HE REFUSES HER OFFER AND PLEADS BECAUSE IT’S NOT WORTH IT EVEN THO THATS THE ONLY OPTION HE’S BEEN GIVEN??? HIM CALLING HIMSELF A PUPPET MAKING HER REALIZE THAT THIS CYCLE OF ABUSE AND CONTROL ISN’T WORTH IT ONLY TO COME TO A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING BECAUSE SHE KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE TRULY IN LOVE AND TO BE HURT, SO SHE OFFERS HIM AN ACT OF KINDNESS INSTEAD???

“Maybe showing one act of kindness leads to kinder souls down the road”

Polyphemus: still pissed off about my sheep but i havnt had wine in ages so FINE I'll let you guys leave.

Odysseus: Im so glad we see eye to eye

Polyphemus: i am KILLING everyone. im killing you im killing your fleet you are all dead die die die

#epic the musical #polyphemus #the cyclops #odysseus #we all agree he choose to kill them for the eye pun right

[diaruchann]

Odysseus is stronger than me bc the moment a cyclops killed my best friend I would've dropped his "greet the world with opens arms" philosophy real quick

#like that philosophy is literally the thing that got my bestie killed #stupid bestie with his stupid philosophy #this is why history thinks we were just friends polites #epic the musical #greek mythology #epic the ocean saga #epic the cyclops saga #epic the circe saga #epic the troy saga #odysseus #polites #Odysseus and polites

you know how water gods are often shapeshifters in greek mythology? how they are able to take many forms to reflect the ever-changing nature of water?

well. all i'm gonna say is it would be interesting if odysseus came back to ithaka a little bit...wrong. cold skin and damp hair and eyes that can't quite decide if they're gray-blue or brown. athena isn't the only one with the power to disguise people, after all, and who's the say that beggar was ever odysseus in the first place?

#i think thetis should kill odysseus and take his place #revenge for revealing her son at skyros #tagamemnon #the odyssey #queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra

I'm too impatient to wait for uploading anything on my work of the Ruthlessness animatic. So, um, here is a sneak peak and I think I made Poseidon a freaking analog horror creature…

#I literally have only 2 major scenes left #Which is the end when Odysseus opens the bag and then Poseidon is killing everybody #epic the musical #sneak peak #animatic wip #ruthlessness

What’s so interesting to me about Odysseus’s transition in Monster is that he hasn’t changed all that much. He was always capable of violence and we know that because of everything he’s done in the war and in his journey. The only change that occurs is he’s chosen to no longer feel guilty, and to stop hesitating when it comes to violence.

#look my outlook is everyone always is capable of horrible things. under the right circumstances we will do violent atrocious things #that capability is in all of us. Odysseus shows that he was always capable of killing (and killing an infant!) #the fact that he feels guilty doesn���t change his actions #sure he tries to be better and be kinder but at the end of the day his efforts matter less than his actions and outcomes #right? #yes he streamlines his violence but he’s committed violence before! #when one intends to kill the speed at which they draw their sword doesn’t change the outcome #feeling conflicted about the thing doesn’t matter if you still do the thing #so in monster what he decides is to stop trying to preserve his ideals of morality #but from that his actions won’t exactly change. he’s going to kill people in the future and really that’s no different from his past #in letting go of his moral preservation isn’t he returning to be just a man? a man with no illusions of himself? #my post #epic the musical #epic the underworld saga

Epic the Musical:

Circe: Oh my! He cannot be transformed by my powers! What do I do?! What do I do?! Think think I need to protect my nymphs! Oh I know! He's a man after all! I'll seduce the hell out of him to get my power over him back! He clearly can defeat my entourage of wolves and lions all by himself! I mean he's damn immune to my magic! I am sure he can do anything with his sword!

Circe: *aggressive flirting*

Odysseus: Oh my gods oh my gods she is hot...what the hell?! Oh I am just a man! Forgive me... No! Wait! J can't! I love My wife way too much! Please let us go home! I miss my wife!

Circe: Awww that is so sweet! Of course darling. I was always a sucker for a good soap opera. Of course I'll help you free of charge and here's some useful tips for your trip! Drive home safely!

The Odyssey:

Circe: Oh my! This man actually had the AUDACITY to come in my home and threaten me! And he took all precautions (a God helped him no doubt). Finally a man I can consider worthy of standing by my side and not bad looking either!

Circe: Come on, darling. Remove your clothes and let's get down on it! Let's see what you've got!

Odysseus: (oh my! Forgive me Penelope that is the only way to save my men! Hermes told me not to refuse her a thing! She is a freaking goddess that commands all these wild beasts! Power over me or not she's a force to be reconed with!) F-Fine but I cannot do what you ask before I ensure my men are safe. Please release them first and then I will (gods gotta buy myself time! Ain't prepared!)

Circe: *does that*

Odysseus: *sighs* I guess we're doing this...

*A year later*

Odysseus: Okay men you had your fun but I can't keep entertaining her forever! We must go home!

Odysseus: Please Circe let me and my people go! We have to go back

Circe: Oh but can't you stay a bit more?

Odysseus: No...I miss my wife and son

Circe: Fine, my dear, if that's what you want... Your happiness is more important than my satisfaction and I love you so I shall let you go. You paid your price fully. Here are some useful tips for you, some provisions and good luck...

[wolfythewitch]

Obsessed with how the Laestrygonians destroyed 11 of Odysseus's ships and killed most of his men but no one talks about them

#Odysseus: yeah so then these cannibal giants destroyed most of my fleet. and then #alcinous: wait rewind. cannibal giants? #Odysseus: yeah they killed people nothing special. as i was saying #the Odyssey

[haitani-trash]

if you told me 10 years ago when i was doing my ancient history degree that i would ever shed a single tear for odysseus i’d have told you to get fucked but here we fuckin are mate i’m crying big girl tears
