Massive Homer's Odyssey in LEGO - Brickworld Chicago 2014

[@legocreations4677]

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.

[@akirahojo2]

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

[@MarkArandjus]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Retroshift]

amazing combination of Lego and mythology, really love it

[@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.

[@ForeverRepublic]

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

[@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!

[@MythicBricks]

Absolutely fantastic collab!! I loved the underwater part

[@Edivad87]

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

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Saw this in my YT recommendations, this is awesome. I read the Odyssey in tenth grade

[@arturchakhvadze6446]

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

[@Americanowithcream]

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

[@ljones4493]

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

[@NickSibz]

This is absolutely incredible.

[@petermiller5350]

you guys are insane. i love you for making this

[@0utcast09]

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

[@SgtHaven]

1:30 just completely steps in front of the the guy showing his daughter the display.

[@chaotic2186]

Chuck Grover how was he supposed to know?

[@giampaolomannucci8281]

the dude's daughter can go to hell, we got a video to make in here!

[@nippy7425]

Giampaolo Mannucci ... Why just why

[@joshuabenson9536]

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

[@billymilkstain2784]

fr

[@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

[@sizwehonablue3610]

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

[@gododoof]

This should be in a museum.

[@jaythealchemist]

its 2024 and this video is still relevant 🤯

[@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!

[@izzy1394]

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

[@Packer221]

I remember seeing them set up this monster of a display.

[@generalgreivous2902]

This is one of the best Mocs I have ever seen and I’ve seen some of the best Mocs out there well done 👍

[@stevenkimdmd]

I did not realize Mr. Simpson had traveled that much around Greece. ...Doh!!! Wrong Homer.

[@paceybk4672]

Ha

[@Commander_Rane]

The Bartelmes Pity laugh

[@Buffalofan]

But he did

[@Sassenhaim]

Same here 😂 Bartholomew and Homer 🤣 Margerius, Maggius and Lisarus. Only Abraham is older he is son of Adam Simpson 😂🤣😂

[@marremane]

you are not as wrong as you think

[@tulkasastaldo4612]

Those earth magnets are GENIUS !!!!

[@maxwellarcher8815]

This is legitimate art.

[@basil4045]

epic, literally

[@hammyjugglerhamstersdrawings]

Oh my glob ... This is so awesome

[@jordangreen7278]

This is amazing!

[@hanichhong]

Holy molly! This is extraordinary.

[@suavestdegreeyt7632]

Greece was so AMAZING

[@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.

[@DarkThunderism]

Now I wanna buy a rare earth magnet for a floating island build. I wonder how much weight it can support.

[@juanjop97]

Man this is CRAZY

[@chrisandchriscollectingcar8778]

Reminded me of high school. Back in 1997. I'm old.

[@PeterSwinkels]

Absolutely amazing! 😍

[@williamburch1321]

I remember reading the SparkNotes in school for the Odyssey. I wish I saw this!!!

[@DarthHugsALot]

Incredible, well done.

[@DarthAJJ]

Anyone else here after watching epic the musical?

[@grotezakhooi]

awesome moc guys

[@funkophone]

I am in awe.

[@TymaDem]

Looks amazing!

[@FrankieB119]

That…is…GLORIOUS

[@MichaelK12]

Thanks! I hope to see all this on person in a year or 2.

[@screwthenet]

I would have given ANYTHING to play with a set on that scale growing up. MANY PROPS! BEst thing I seen from this channel. ^~^

[@gloryihemeson4795]

Wow that's amazing

[@barrycopithorne]

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

[@colleentuckett9888]

Damn, Polyphemus is awesome

[@joeyk107]

The laestrygonians are cooler tbh

[@onlynameMrBlank]

Those Greeks really love their gumballs.

[@akap]

The idea of the Bears invading anything is hilarious.

[@prazidraco]

I'm pretty sure that the second time you said Circe you meant Calypso

[@jakegallagher5788]

1:23 the kids in the back were like “hey, I was looking at that”

[@anamancaramel]

The Odysseus starts on Odysseus going. The Illiad is the battle of Troy. Just wanted you to know that, not trying be rude.

[@plutarchvonpluto6439]

Also he doesn't spend a couple of years on the Lotus Eaters. 2 years was the entirety of the journey before he got stranded at Calipso's island for 8 years. The longest time he spend in one place was Aiolos' island for a month.

[@mikethewizard7378]

The algorithm is finally starting to get me.

[@benjamminc6414]

Wowww that looks amazing

[@carmine.b.]

I love the mythologie Greek, thank you !

[@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

[@BDG860]

Truly amazing

[@Acrasyne]

This is pretty awsome

[@benjamincaron46]

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

[@cmw12]

So much explanation for the lame cyclops with decals, but no mention of the AMAZING cyclone and waterfall on Aeolus’ island???!!!! Also, well done on Hades!! KER-BER-OS. Nice waves around the Sirens’ island. By the way, there’s an UNDERWATER SECTION?????!!!!!!!’

[@Octo-ut7rk]

In Ohio 2018 there was a GIANT velociraptor from Jurassic park in front of the mall! It was so big, I wonder how big this would be irl!

[@neosclones]

Totally not watching this because of Epic

[@toontownlegomaster]

I failed my honors English because I didn't understand this story at all but this looks awesome.

[@ChristopherZ]

Amazing!

[@d4nielDayZContent]

Harald Schmidt would love this.

[@karansena]

magnet for floating structure and making a sea inside no wonder they won.

[@spartanwarrior1]

Beautiful

[@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)

[@teamepic7243]

wow thats epic

[@Blockietalkie]

Better than the book!

[@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.

[@LittleMiss89]

Thats is so awesome

[@chaotic2186]

That is unreal

[@cleossleepingbed7132]

So cool!

[@auto2430]

Wish I saw this freshman year

[@tristandoan1481]

the trojan horse wasn't in the Iliad or the Odyssey, it was only in Virgil's Aeneid

[@spartanwarrior1]

Impressive!!!

[@Lou.D.]

Love this channel

[@legorocks9737]

They need to make a Greek Mythology LEGO set!

[@LegoWorldUA]

really cool!

[@96ΚΟΝ]

Fantastic...

[@E180TEKNO]

It's juste awsome ! fabulous

[@jagcf]

Just wow!

[@BringTheBeat]

awesome job!

[@rbaleksandar]

3:04 One of the oar guys wears sun glasses. Who knew this sort of thing was popular back then. :D Not to mention the skeleton at the front... LOL

[@McDaniel77]

Awesome!

[@Graczula]

Homer would approve this

[@ryman1197]

I'm learning about this

[@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).

[@ilovewetweenie2681]

On V LUG's ship there was a Qui Gon Jinn minifigure

[@nataliacoutino7328]

This is SO COOL, and congrats to the people who built this, but this is a little inaccurate. I know The Odyssey very well, because we studied it at school (and the teacher that taught it was Greek), and the storyline told here has some mistakes. For example, the first stop is not the island of the Lotus Eaters, it is the island of the Cicones. And Odysseus does not stay with Circe for 7 years as her lover. He washes ashore the island of the nymph Calypso, and she falls in love with him. She does not let him leave her island, and he is held there for 7 miserable years. There are a few other mistakes, but other than that, I thought the display was super awesome!!

[@MythicBricks]

That’s the story however there is much more historical evidence that the journey actually happened in the Atlantic Ocean

[@mwgg9089]

Calypso made him stay she is cursed to love everyone who comes to her island but they will never fall in love with her. She can also only leave when someone returns her love so she kept him there for 7 years to try and escape.
