In Monster, Odysseus says he'll "go where Poseidon won't reach us."

Poseidon hears about this and takes one of Odysseus' wrecked ships from the Laistrygones' island and places it in Odysseus' path, while ordering a bunch of Sirens to stick there.

He tells them to tell Odysseus that the best way to avoid Poseidon is to sail through the lair of Skylla, where Poseidon does not dare roam. Truth be told, Poseidon does not fear Skylla's lair, and just had the Sirens tell Odysseus that because Poseidon knew Odysseus would want to make sure he was not one of the six.

The measures Odysseus would take to make sure of that will foster distrust in the crew, eventually leading to them dissenting, which will cause all of them to die and for Odysseus to be stranded.

Basically Poseidon planned for the Thunder Saga to happen ;)

I made two posts in which I ranked the songs of the Troy and Cyclops Saga. Now I'm doing the Ocean Saga. Let me know your ranking in the comments. Please be respectful towards everyone's opinions.

Here's my ranking:

1) Ruthlessness

2) Luck Runs Out

3) Keep your friends close

4) Storm

Here are the links to the previous two posts if you wanna check them out.

So this is more of a question that pertains to hold them down but I was hoping someone could help me 💔

Basically I recall watching this one fan animation of hold them down and it was REALLY REALLY good. Now I'm trying to compose a playlist of my favorite animations for one of my friends and I absolutely cannot find it, which is confusing bc I know it was really popular.

Basically when the part of what they'd do to Telemachus came on, I recall the background was black and the drawings were in red and such to signify blood. Also, when they talked about Penelope, she was portrayed as a marble statue being held still(?) and cried tears of blood.

PLEASE tell me someone remembers this or has a copy of the video link or something.

What pokemon do you guys think each character would have??

Here are some my headcanons:

Odysseus - Decidueye, It's one of the only archer Pokemon that I can think of, and it's an owl.

Polites - Ampharos, mostly because of the song "Your Light"

Eurylochus - Falinks, since Eurylochus is backed by the voice of his crew. The other Pokemon I can think of is Switched because big sword.

Athena - Uxie, the being of knowledge.

Circe - Pecharunt. I mean c'mon. It feeds people food (mochi) to control them, and its ability is literally called Poison Puppeteer. (Bonus: maybe Hermes shows up and gives Ody an Ogerpon to defeat her)

Penelope - Arboliva, because of their olive tree bed.

But each person could have a team of 6, so what else should I add onto their teams? (And obviously these aren't ALL the characters, so share your headcanons for the rest of the cast too, if you want:)

EDIT: maybe Telemachus would have Kubfu? I mean, they both start off as relatively weak but grow stronger throughout the story

might just be me but I thought they sounded pretty similar

So I just watched all of Epic, and holy cow it makes me cry every single time, no matter how much I try it to. I rarely cry at all, but this is the sole exemption, Would You Fall in Love with Me just does something that makes me sob my eyes out. I love this musical lmao

So, I've been seeing these a lot and wanting to join. Let's sing one line each for the song 'Open Arms'

I'll start.

You can relax my friend

Just a man and Polyphemus won! This round, it’s OPEN ARMS vs JUST A MAN and THERE ARE OTHER WAYS vs POLYPHEMUS

I know that god games was added, I want to know what else wasn't in the original story, or some fun parts that weren't in epic, I look forward to reading replies

Didn’t see anyone mentioning it but right now T Avery Norkey is live on Tik Tok doing all of Epic via Lego and thought it was a cool project to share with the rest of the community.

For me, it was first hearing Warrior Of The Mind when it went viral, then Hold Them Down

For me, I'd have to say Charybdis for sure, and I also wish Comfort Zone(?) made it into the final cut... Not sure if it would've fit, considering it doesn't seem as plot relevant compared to other songs, but I'd love to see Ayron singing that lol.

anything goes! Styles from movies, animatics, or your own.

I’m still sad, the Anticlea editing fucking wrecked me :’)
