How can anybody really dislike this amazing creation? So much detail on a huge scale. This deserves alot more for such a collaborative build. Thanks for uploading this beast of a moc. STAY away from the lotus flowers.

[@hexazalea]

I like how they actually kept they sirens as bird women. Most modern depictions incorrectly make them mermaids. The giant characters and the underwater area was neat.

[@real_nosferatu]

The sirens in the odyssey are actually harpies.

[@SporkSlayer]

Technically mermaids are fish with legs.

[@firstname7020]

Yeah I always thought the sirens were supposed to be harpies.

[@MarkArandjus]

As a fan of Greek myths this is amazing and all, but I'm most impressed by how good the sea water looks!

[@akirahojo2]

Wow, this is simply a behemoth undertaking and the best custom LEGO diorama I’ve ever seen. Well done!

[@brianmerritt5410]

This is freaking amazing. These guys rock.

[@Excalis3344]

the effort put in here is nothing short of amazing

[@Killzoneguy117]

I love the detail of all of the minifigs using brown weapons, to symbolize the fact that participants of the Trojan War would have used bronze weaponry as the War is largely dated to the latter end of the Bronze Age.

[@aidanotero3126]

Did anyone else see that working fountain?

[@trevorhal1948]

Yay

[@MythicBricks]

Damn that was insane

[@generalgreivous2902]

Mythic Bricks everything in this moc is insane I especially love the water technique that is my favorite water technique it just looks so awsome and natural

[@Retroshift]

amazing combination of Lego and mythology, really love it

[@ForeverRepublic]

One of the best builds I've ever seen, if not the best. Just amazing. Bravo and well done.

[@DabIMON]

Who does Polyphemus hate more than Odysseus? Nobody.

[@a_motorsports_fan]

DabIMON I GET IT

[@jrodproductionstudios9587]

DabIMON I get it... nbody

[@godzilla6058]

I don't get it, can somebody explain?

[@Alex-Birle]

DabIMON HAHAHA! If you don't understand the joke that means you haven't read the book.

[@eighteenYearOld]

Godzilla Gamer So Odysseus named himself Noman/nobody so when he was killing a cyclops the cyclops cried out "NOMAN IS HURTING ME" so the other cyclops didn't know about Odysseus and then he said his name and Polyphemus tried to attack him.

[@Edivad87]

that's the most amazing MOC I have ever seen. I can't believe it.

[@MythicBricks]

Absolutely fantastic collab!! I loved the underwater part

[@chrisphipson7090]

DAMNIT! I said "Circe" when talking about Heath Flor's Isle of Calypso! And, I forgot to say Heath's name as well! Frak me! Oh well, I'll get it right next time and my apologies to Heath. Thanks for having me guys and we look forward to seeing you at BrickWorld again next year! ~Chris.

[@BeyondtheBrick]

You did great, Chris! We always love chatting with the VLUG folks!

[@schwinnstingrayguy3757]

Beyond the Brick hey i saw you there when i went

[@JayByrd2011]

Chris, you did a fantastic job! You sounded like you knew what you were talking about and that is impressive. (Great vid BTW, as always)

[@stefannotchev7209]

You did an amazing job on that I can only dream of being able to do something like that how long did it take?

[@panthir6720]

Chris Phipson ITS GREEK SO ITS CIRCE MALAKA!

[@arturchakhvadze6446]

This is truly incredible! Olympus and underground world are fascinating!

[@ljones4493]

Great job Chris - errors and all! Thanks for plugging our display for everyone to enjoy. Lee.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

[@Americanowithcream]

This is too cool. Just too cool. Human beings are awesome!

[@basil4045]

epic, literally

[@petermiller5350]

you guys are insane. i love you for making this

[@NickSibz]

This is absolutely incredible.

[@jx592]

I only like this because I've ready it, and watched the vintage adaptation of film. I'm not into Greek mythology but when it's pressed on by a teacher it kicks into the groove, I like Revolutionary War in class far more then other topics, especially Boston related histories and incidents

[@0utcast09]

This is every man's dream, to explain all of this to their kid

[@jaythealchemist]

its 2024 and this video is still relevant 🤯

[@sizwehonablue3610]

This is the best thing I have ever laid my eyes on.

[@joshuabenson9536]

I just can't understand how people have the time and patience to build stuff like this

[@billymilkstain2784]

fr

[@lordarnold8524]

That was A-frickin-MAZING! I love the Odyssey and other ancient stories. Great job guys, I love it. Also thank you for taking the time to show us their build!

[@BeyondtheBrick]

Thanks for watching!

[@oskargoingplaces5720]

Just some clarification: The Isle of Circe was where Odysseus and his crew were turned into pigs, the Isle of Calypso is where he spent seven years as her lover

[@kai7050]

Odysseus sent a scouting Team, when he arrives Aiaia. All of this scouting men until one was turnt into pics by Circe, because she thought, that this are pirates, who want to steal and to rape her. Hermes gave Odysseus because of that the flower Moly, which inhibit a transformation. Circe swear dont do evil things with them and let the tranformated men turn back and all of them were guests in her house during a year. In this time Circe fall in love with Odysseus, but he desided to leave her to finish his travel. So Circe helped him by sending him into the Hades, where he should Teiresias after the coming way. Also Circe warn him of the Sirenes, Skyla and Charybdis and not to eat the sacred cows of Helios. After he left her she bear Odyseeus son.

[@maxwellarcher8815]

This is legitimate art.

[@izzy1394]

I love the water! This is very cool and creative.

[@Packer221]

The idea of the Bears invading anything is hilarious.

[@captaingreek]

The Greek shields at 1:48 (two red and a white) are upside down! It's not a "V" it's an "Λ"! Also some of the ships' sails at 2:45.

[@barrycopithorne]

Where did they get all those Greek shields from? The red V shield and trident blue shields? Been looking all over for them.

[@Graczula]

Homer would approve this

[@WonderBricksyoutubechannel]

Fantastic!!!! *******

[@TypicalToyReviews]

ok the water was just thrown in there. I thought they hand pressed every single tiny 1x block to make the water and it made me ill just thinking about it

[@neosclones]

Totally not watching this because of Epic

[@auto2430]

Wish I saw this freshman year

[@samuelalexander878]

I think you guys should stick with the ancient world next year like maybe consider the pelopenisian war(the war between Athens small empire that was used to defend against the Persians and the Spartans and there ally's that broke away because they fear Athens is becoming too powerful)

[@lothariobazaroff3333]

I was wondering why he was talking about Cersei and then I realized that's how they pronounce Kirke in English (because they spell it Circe).

[@d4nielDayZContent]

Harald Schmidt would love this.

[@ryman1197]

I'm learning about this

[@benjamincaron46]

When I read this book in school I showed this video to my teacher, and she was impressed.

[@BeyondtheBrick]

Cool!

[@afunnyman]

I can only read that as if it's sarcastic.

[@sirjohnsmithingtonthefirst6752]

I know the tone makes it seem so fake ",and she was impressed".

[@brovssis5460]

Antediluvian ,kkkk

[@kimberlyscaccia6140]

Antediluvian ppppernhhv.
