STREAM THIS SONG NOW ▶︎ ffm.to/ko4qpxx
The Ithaca Saga was such an incredible end to the reimagined Odyssey story told by EPIC: The Musical! This song truly captured the horrific and villainous nature of Antinous, the other suitors, and what they had planned for Penelope and Telemachus. After hearing the insane vocals on this I just knew I had to give this a villainous female rendition ⚔️

If Antinous and the suitors were Amazons basically. Now that would be a tough fight for Ody and his boy.

[@Redoren966]

To be fair I am pretty sure Ody has fought amazons in the Trojan war

[@themis467]

​@@Redoren966 I don't think so

[@themis467]

They would be more of a problem than the suitors. The one variable is Ares, I can't predict what he'd do

[@Galaxy_sky473]

Screw this competition. We’ve been here for hours.

[@calamityz_callide6702]

None of us can string this. We don't have the power.

[@CreativeWoodElf]

Screw this damn challenge. No more delays...

[@remidragon8458]

This is amazing. I can see this As Penelope warrior Au. Like instead of Ody bow it’s Penelope spear and they have the throw it throws it to a far target. And they have to do it on their own with no personal guards help. And Penelope throws the spear because she can actually lift it and throw it

[@JackIntoGaming4721]

Well Penelope is the daughter of a Spartan King and Nymph. She probably could throw a spear, I think a more fitting challenge is a riddle or something to prove her cunning. As that is what Penelope is famous for cause she doped suitors for 20yrs while waiting for her husband.

[@kato6224]

OK but hear me out whoever takes the place of Antinous is stood in front of the target and I think you know where in going with this

[@ChaoticDoodle]

Nah lifting it is possible The reason they couldn’t string Ody’s bow is because they didn’t know the technique/it required tremendous strength. A spear being really heavy doesn’t feel right. Maybe like what the first reply said but even then, I feel like the riddle should be for their personal confrontation in WYFILWMA

[@FaithRosales-th8fy]

This sounds like Calypso but more sadistic and terrifying I love it❤ speaking of which, will you do a cover on love in paradise?

[@johnsilver2154]

Milky just keeps getting better with each new cover, and this song gets me angry over Antinous disrespectful attitude, and seeing a glimpse of Ody turning his Him model was gratifying and spine-chilling

[@EmilysLovelyBakery]

Odysseus is here? Where?

[@teresanu]

You sound far too excited about this plan, and it's just as horrifyingly good as the original version! Amazing singing, terrifying lyrics.

[@gamingloser5909]

Somehow this is even more eerie than the og version

[@songhuy8908]

I think it's cuz the original is similar to Poseidon while this one is very Scylla-like instead

[@Cosmicgiant5070]

i disagree its not bad at all but the og just has a tone thats more impactful

[@degr8andre]

@@Cosmicgiant5070same honestly this is good but feels like a Disney villain while the original feels like a actual person who’s ready to risk everything

[@annetteschemer6876]

Why do both the OG version and this one have to sound so good? 😭 Like, every time I want to sing along and then I remember the lyrics

[@lastassassin4443]

Such a banger song really love your finally getting into The Epic I just wrote some of the lyrics down below differently wondering if it is maybe possible to do a actual genderswap on the characters and still make the lyrics make sense “Whoever can string the old queen’s bow And shoot through twelve axes cleanly Will be the new wueen, sit down at the throne Odysseus as her king Where is she? Where is the girl who can string this bow? Woah...” [FEM ANTINOUS] “ Screw this competition, we've been here for hours None of us can string this, we don't have the power Screw this damn challenge, no more delays Can't you guys see we're being played? This is how they” [FEM ANTINOUS, SUITORS] “ Hold us down while the throne gets colder Hold us down while we slowly age Hold us down while the girl gets bolder Where in the hell is our pride and our rage? Here and now, there's a chance for action Here and now, we can take control Here and now, burn it down to ashes Channel the fire inside your soul” [FEM ANTINOUS] “ Haven't you noticed who's missing? Don't you know the princess is not around I heard she's on a diplomatic mission And I heard today she’ll come back to town, so I say we gather near the beaches I say we wait 'til she arrives Then, when she docks her ship, we can breach it Let us leave now, today we can strike and” [FEM ANTINOUS, SUITORS, ALL] “ Hold her down 'til the girl stops shaking Hold her down while I slit her throat Hold her down while I slowly break her pride, her trust, her faith, and her bones Cut her down into tiny pieces Throw her down in the great below When the crown wonders where the princess is Only the ocean and I will know” [FEM ANTINOUS] “ And when the deed is done The king will have no one to Stop us from breaking his bedroom door Stop us from taking his love and more” [FEM ANTINOUS, SUITORS, ALL] “ And then we'll Hold him down while his gate is open Hold him down while I get a taste Hold him down while I share his spoils I will not let any part go to waste Here and now, there's a chance for action (Chance for action!) Here and now, we can take control (Take control!) Here and now, burn it down to ashes Channel the fire inside your soul and Hold them down, hold them down (Hold them down! Oh!) Hold them down, hold them down Hold them down, hold them down (Hold them down!) Channel the fire inside your soul, and-! (Hold them down, hold them down)” [FEM ANTINOUS is shot by PENELOPE] (Just a reminder i am no song writer so if this doesn’t fit at all then yeah)

[@MrMadmenProductions]

I think for the part "while his gate is open" would be better as "while he's at attention" just as a more fitting metaphor for... that... But a pretty good attempt on gender swapping it overall.

[@DevsStoryForge]

Ahhh! I was definitely not expecting this to be the one you did, but this was amazing 🤩

[@dangernoodle9882]

ok but a cover of "keep your friends close" would go so hard

None of us can string this, we don’t have the power. Screw this damn challenge, no more delays. Can’t you ladies see we’re being played? This how they hold us down, while the throne gets colder, Hold us down, while we slowly age, Hold us down, while the boy/girl gets bolder where in the hell is pride and our rage!?!
