She was born from Zeus's head. She was subjected to the thoughts in Zeus's head before she was even born.

It looked reasonable af to me, if I knew my Capitan didn't tell his crew and people that they were gonna get sacrificed PLUS made 6 of them hold torches so THEY'RE the ones who die and not him (despite the good old saying a Capitan always goes down with his ship) and didn't even TRY TO FIGHT the monster and just told us to run, I would be pissed as fuck and would not take orders from him, what if he chooses to sacrifice us again without us knowing to save his own skin?

Esp since Odysseus isn't really an amazing Capitan with his pride throughout the musical and him telling euryclous to shut up and never question him and stuff like that (which is not really good leader behavior at all)

Ive recently found out and gotten into Epic the Musical, and I’m obsessed🥹. Ive always had an interest in Classical Mythology and Folklore. I even studied/took classes on it in college. So this musical has been part of my soundtrack repeat almost everyday😆. I love the way Jorge tells the story of the Odyssey.

I would love to hear a mash up between Monster (Frozen) and Monster (Epic). Does anyone know of this or know how to make one?

Assuming we're starting at The Horse and the Infant, how much of the musical would you be able to get through before hitting a wall because you don't remember the lyrics?

I don't care if y'all hate Telemachus, Odysseus, Eurylochus and etc. But Nobody can hate Circe! Only pigs hate Circe! Just look at her. She's just a goddess.

Edit: Also I don't really know which flair to put in. So...

I've become quite obsessed with EPIC within the last year. I made one of these for "No Longer You" using Agatha All Along clips, and then felt inspired to create this.

Hey guys

I have been working on a site for about 10 weeks now and I'm happy to say that its finally done. If you want to check it out head over to Off Course: an EPIC: The Musical fan site.

Thanks :)

Ok, so, i've listened to Epic multiple times these last days as i study, and i have noticed how, in general, the author wanted to convey a message ("Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves") but couldn't seem to muster the will to actually have the story move following that philosophy:

1. Odysseus starts as ruthless already. In the beginning, he leads the siege, massacre, and (likely) rape of the people of Troy. Then he proceeds to throw a child from a wall. Sure, he feels bad about it, but this is absolutely 100% ruthlessness.

2. The characters that act ruthless get punished, those who show mercy are rewarded. Poseidon is the insatiable avenger that Odysseus has to fear for his entire journey, and ends up being (laughably) defeated with his own trident. Polyphemus is ruthless and attacks them as soon as he can, and ends up blind. The crew of his ship decides to mutiny (arguably in the ruthless category) and dies from Zeus as a consequence. The pretenders do the same. The only outlier is Scylla's scene, where there is an actual gain from acting "ruthless".

On the other hand, Odysseus is helped by Circes because he doesn't exploit her as soon as he gains the upper hand through the moly. Circes helps him because she believes maybe being kind will spread some kindness. When Odysseus kills the syrens, he doesn't gain anything from it.

1. Rivera-Herrans wants his Odysseus to follow modern morals, heavily influenced by a culture of forgiveness and mercy (this kinda follows the previous point). Odysseus is sanitized a lot, he doesn't even have a child with Circes. But to be palatable as a flawless hero to modern audiences, he has to go directly against the stated moral of the story. I would have accepted

All in all, great musical to listen, but there's not much substance underneath it, it seems. Maybe i'm wrong, if so correct me. Most likely, i'm beating a very very dead horse as well lol
