Jorge has spoken about how he has changed parts of the story and characters to serve this retelling. Odysseus is much softer in the beginning than in the book because this story is focusing on his descent into becoming a monster. When he finally gets home he won't be the man Penelope fell in love with.

Important to note that the animators aren’t always collaborating. The animatics are based on the songs, the original mythology, the animator’s interpretation, and the information Jorge gave about his process of making it. They are not necessarily “cannon” One of the details animators keep in mind a lot is how all vocals are diegetic. And are always from actual people (mostly the soldiers) except in the presence of a god cause they can just summon their own backing vocals/chorus.
@thelocalshoopАй бұрын
^ there are exceptions of course, those being animatics commissioned by jorge himself! these are the animatics that show up on the official livestreams- its where the canon designs and visual-only interactions can be found (such as the god games ending, or certain details of mutiny). this is usually the only time collaboration is happening between jorge and the artists, and even though artists can make official animatics they can still choose to make their own unique animatics. i love seeing the various designs and interpretations its one of my favorite things abt this fandom!!

10:41 Important thing to note here: whenever a mortal character (like Oddyseus) is singing, any background vocals are being sung in-universe by people in the background, and whenever a god is singing (like Zeus in 'The Horse and the Infant'), the background vocals are being generated by them; also, each character has a signature instrument that plays whenever they are singing in the musical, and there are *many* recurring motifs throughout 17:25 Just gonna state for the record because this has been a thing before, Mirxi's name is pronounced 'Mirchi' 31:14 Neat thing in 'Warrior of the Mind': When Athena first sings the 'Warrior of the Mind' lyric, she ends it by holding the note, but when Oddyseus joins in, he ends the line in a run, and the second time they sing it together, they both end the line in a run; and when she sings it one last time at the end of the song, she sings it alone and still ends on a run, showing that Oddy's attitude was starting to rub off on her :) 39:27 This beginning part of the song features a pretty infamous recurring theme in the musical known as 'The Danger Motif'. a lot of people had a hard time trying to find where it was used, but this is the first instance of it 48:04 Not Poseidon (yet).

Well, it might be the first repetition of the danger motif, but it first actually appeared in the horse and the infant, during the war scene when everyone is fighting.

There's two different accounts about who threw Astyanax from the battlements - Pausanius says he was thrown by Neoptolemus (son of Achilles) while "illiou persis" aka "The Sack of Troy" (author unknown) says it was Odysseus who did it. Either way, his fate was debated by the Greek war council, and the threat of him becoming an avenging son was what ultimately led to the infant being thrown. Edit to Add: Interestingly, the two accounts about the death of the son of Hector are only found in those two poems, which were written after Homer's Illiad. Technically that makes those accounts in-Era fanfiction... take that how you will.

Whenever a god sings they can summon back up vocalists to sing with them since they are so powerful, however whenever a human character sings whenever there are back up vocals other beings has to be there with them.

Also I do request you dont talk about too much about the future just because all of epic hasent been released yet and I havent read the odyssey yet so kinda spoilers lol. Anyways you know I love your content and Ive been asking for this for months so thank you SO much. If you wish to split up your watchs to saga then the cyclopse saga has one more song, the next one. The next one is the ocean saga with 4 songs, then the circe saga with 4 more, then the underworld with 3, and finally the newest saga/thunder saga has 5. I think there 3 more sagas that have yet to be released :) [also the cyclopse saga and the troy saga were recently remastered to if you decide to listen to this in your free time please listen to thise instead as the orginals were not giveing the creators his royalties] when your cuahht up I truely reccmend chrcking out the creator/odyseus as he is AMAZING and funny and has but so much thought and detail into his songs that I cant even fit here and just trust me when I say there is so much beneath the surface to the music, its truely genuis. Thanks once again for finally watching epic, cant wsit for more!!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 🐎 👁 🌊 🐖 👶 ⚡️

Mircsy's design of Polyphemus takes aspects of Poseidon's creations and combines them. A tentacled face like a sea creature, and hooves of a horse. (I commented this before you mentioned it. It went over my head until I read about the reason, so my dumb brain assumed most people wouldn't know.)

Yeah, the thing to keep in mind with this adaptation is that the original epic written by Homer was in general a cautionary tale about why you don't wanna piss off the gods while the musical is focused less on the gods and more on the crew's perspective of the odyssey.

I haven’t seen anyone say it, but the apple could also be a reference to how Athena tried to get the golden apple alongside Hera and Aphrodite, but the apple went to Aphrodite as she promised to give Helen of Troy to the guy who had to give the apples to any of the three Goddess, declaring the one who had it be the “most beautiful Goddess” ever. If memory serves me right

For your own playlist purposes: Please listen to the new versions of the songs in the Cyclops and Troy Sagas! Due to a issue with the publishing company for the first two, Jorge is not getting any money from streams of the original versions. So recently he remade them in person with everyone from the cast.

I did a quck refresher of the Odyssey in prep for Epic, in the original Odyssey the "nobody" gambit played out the same - right down to "if nobody hurt you be quiet" from the other Cyclops that came to Polyphemus' cries (phrased differently but same response) - and OG Odysseus did in fact reveal his name as they were sailing away, but out of arrogance rather than the (stupid) righteous indignation of musical Odysseus here

The glasses are actually in homage to the singer for Polites! Every character is modeled facially after their singer to an extent. Also, in the song Remember Them, the reason Odysseus doesn't want to kill the Cyclops is because of Polites. Polites was his best friend and a very kind and loving individual, which was shown with the song Open Arms about just taking things easy for once and not resorting to violence immediately if there's another way. With his friend dead, Odysseus remembers his lessons of kindness and mercy and is deeply hurt that such a sweet soul had to die because of the rage of a monster when the Cyclops could've just taken the trade. Athena's lessons as a Goddess of Wisdom and War are to never leave things unfinished but Odysseus is blinded by grief and wastes time trying to teach a lesson where there should be none. Athena abandons him who can't follow her teachings anymore, and Odysseus is left fully at the mercy of the God's who show none at all

i asways thought of the apple in that warrior of the mind animatic to be the golden apple that started the war and it represents athena's honor, while she may not have been given the golden apple, she's basically claiming odysseus and saying that she created the legendary hero that he is. just my personal interpretation :)

Jorge did initially write in a song about his men (especially Elpenor and Perimedes) that takes place with the lotus eaters. It was Elpenor saying they should just leave Perimedes there whilst Odysseus disagreed. It was later cut and just left as a draft and Elpenor was kinda cut from the musical and we don't hear from Perimedes until The Thunder Saga.

Adoring watching your reactions- most people who listen to Epic aren't super familiar with the story of the Odyssey, so it's super cool to see someone who knows the story of it already! (Edit: Listening to some of the comments you made about mythology, whenever you get to the song "Ruthlessness" I highly recommend checking out AnniFlamma's animatic! I believe in the playlist you're using they include a different one, but there's something you were excited to see during one of the songs that is showcased a lot in Anni's version that might be a fun bonus for someone who knows their way around Greek mythology.)

fun fact: there are other animatics that give the cyclops a more standard design. The specific animatics used here for suvive and polyphemus are fan favourites because of how CREATIVE they are with the cyclops' design, giving it a terrifying monstrousness that reflects its parentage while also displaying how its pain at the death of one of its sheep is genuine and how odysseus and his men aren't COMPLETELY innocent here even if they didn't mean any harm.

14:50 Fun fact, Most of the characters are designed after their voice actor! So Odysseus looks like Jorge! Polites looks like Steven Dookie who also wears glasses. Every character has their own instrument too. Odysseus has an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, Athena has a piano, not sure what Polites instrument is though. Eurylochus stands out though because he has the crew backing him up. 47:53 Those are actually other cylopses. Polyphemus doesn't pray to Posidon until after Odysseus and his men leave

Acutally Polyphemus ate six of oddyseus’ men in the cave. And those eyes were other cyclops who came check on Polyphemus, oddyseus giving his name as ‘nobody’ meant that Ployphemus said ‘nobody hurt me’ as in he wasn’t hurt, not that ‘nobody’ hurt him. I will say that depending on which animatic you watch, you will get different interpretations or little details on the characters. I believe the next one after this, Goodbye will be one such one. I’d give a watch to more of the animatics form different artists in your free time.

In troy itself he was one of maybe 3 guys with a good reputation beyong being a good killer. Lets just say it eas for a good reason why he explicitly tasked good old king nestor with finding andnguarding helen in favir of a stronger and a lot less virtious hero.... Odysseus has a better reputation then he deserves but cintratsed with the other heros he is less confrontational of bloodthirsty without reason. The others snapped under not even half the pressure

Fun Fact: The apple Athena is referencing is also part of the myth RIGHT before the Trojan war. The test of the 3 Goddesses for who was "most beautiful" when Aphrodite, Athena and Hera and each of them promised the judge one wish, and Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman in the world if he chose HER, which he did - which was Helen of Troy, and the cause of the Trojan war.
