Reacting to LAST SAGA: The Ithaca Saga from Epic the Musical

[@Zippyskyfalls]

Telemachus is the only guy that'd make me start running if he said "just wait till my father hears about this!"

[@HunterNeyorApollo]

Nah i don't seem me doing anything to generally piss of telemachus or do anything for ody to step in actually nvm id be screwed if I was caught trespassing or stealing but eh I'll be fine as long as I'm fast enough

[@alliyanasgalaxies]

​@@HunterNeyorApolloyou're forgetting that ody was a REALLY fast runner.

[@allthingsjustice6465]

​@alliyanasgalaxies and an archer with a very impressive shot 😂

[@HunterNeyorApollo]

@alliyanasgalaxies im hoping the fact that I have sprinted 3 miles when my has depended on it will help

[@MattDrake-eo6sr]

IS THIS A HARRY POTTER REFERENCE???

[@otakugril67]

The last song really can be summed up as; Odysseus: "How dare you tell me to move that bed! 😡 It's literally a tree!" Penelope: "How dare you tell me to love you again! 😡 I literally never stopped!" Queen matched his "monster" (his guitars going electric to show his anger) and overtook it with zero gap in between. 🎉

[@BoobeamTrap]

My favorite way I've seen it is: Odysseus: Would you fall in love with me again? Penelope: Can you move this tree? Odysseus: What? Penelope: Oh sorry, I thought we were just asking stupid ass questions.

[@medearene6822]

Omg this is the best summary I've ever heard for that moment 😂 I'm dying!

Ok but if I crashed out like that I’d go to jail for life

[@suziegonzalez2261]

@@duolingoowl920 to be fair, this was also Ancient Greece and he was a King

[@alessandrofigueroa8909]

​@@suziegonzalez2261I disagree. Threatening SA, Assault and Battery, etc. The Suitors were breaking a ton of laws before Odysseus even got to Ithaca. If this was a similar situation, this guy could just be defended as a man using self defense. It would be a lil different if it was one man too, but no, it was hundreds of Suitors. I don't think any reasonable Judge would fault anyone have a similar crash out to Ody if the situation was the same

[@spinningredchair8092]

Some songs are written about the subject at hand and are titled as such, like The Horse and The Infant Hold Them Down etc, but songs about monsters are titled using that monsters name. Polyphemus Scylla Charybdis Odysseus..

[@dimsufferer9951]

The horse and the infant

[@rcfamily8993]

DAAAAM

[@IthacasKing]

Fun Fact: The violin in Hold Them Down is supposed to represent Penelope’s screams…😅

[@alwayssmiling3007]

could you define "Fun" ?

[@ssbruv]

​@@alwayssmiling3007LOL 😭😭

[@terra4822]

Another fun fact: the scream is music to their ears, that why its so beautiful. Sorry for my garbage English

[@HunterNeyorApollo]

Not so fun fact like intresting I didn't know that but that isn't fun

[@alinepenhallow1056]

another fun fact: according to the original text of the odessy, Penelope sat DIRECTLY BEHIND the axes.

[@dragansnyder2786]

23:53 also the test in the musical could just be her way of saying "well you're not such a callous bastard that you forgot how much you love me, so I love you too dummy now shut up and kiss me!"

[@Shenningtatum]

That's what it was

[@Nazo-kage]

With a few songs that they give Penelope they not only show that she is just as clever if not, maybe more clever than Odysseus but you can see why someone like Odysseus would work so hard to get home.

[@Spectralyzed]

The thing I love about the test she gives Odysseus is that it actually feels less like a test for her benefit and more like one for his. He feels like he's become this unlovable thing, and thinks he's changed into someone new entirely, so she realizes the best way to prove him wrong is to show him he still has all the memories they shared, and that's enough. "Don't tell me you're not the same person! You're always my husband and I've been waiting~, waiting-"

[@LuneZafiro]

And also it's a way to show/remind him that their love is like a tree, it has long roots, you cannot just uproot it and it never stopped growing

[@JayMed81]

3:08 idk if anyone knew this but she was sitting at the end of the 12 axes so if someone could pull it off it would kill her, because she didn’t want to live with new king

[@V3nusEyes]

Wait really!? That’s so cool!!

[@0RVET]

"I’d rather die"

[@drpigglesnuudelworte5209]

@@V3nusEyesno that’s not true. STOP SPREADING THIS MISINFORMATION THAT DOES. NOT. HAPPEN. NOT IN EPIC, NOT IN THE ODYSSEY. STOP. EDIT: ODYSSEUS LITERALLY MADE THE SHOT I GUESS HE KILLED HER PENELOPE IS DEAD GUYS

Telemachus attempted to string the bow four times and almost got it Telemachus was gonna kill his mama ig so fr (no). Also Odysseus makes the shot ig he killed her.

[@V3nusEyes]

@ are you telling me to stop spreading misinformation?

[@_notVisha]

the "what the fuck" was my reaction to the entire saga. To the challenge because her voice is so pretty and emotional, to hold them down and odysseus because the darkness, to i cant help but wonder and would you fall in love with me again because Jorge why are you making me cry.

[@appalachianman3072]

3:12 Penelope was sitting in front of the axes. Penelope was sitting in front of the axes. PENELOPE WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF THE AXES.

[@kaniokopiumxx9333]

y'all know what a crime is? That she didn't watch the animatics for ithaca saga- BECAUSE THE LITTLE FLASHBACKS PENELOPE HAD WHEN BELTING HER SOUL OUT WITH WAITING AT WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE W/ ME AGAIN MAKES YOU CRY EVEN MORE AUGHHH

[@TheSweetsbar]

@@kaniokopiumxx9333she does watch the animatics

[@ZxythRave]

If you listen closely, in the background of “Will you fall in love with me again”, during the part where Odysseus is telling what he’s done you can hear Ruthlessness (As trumpets), Thunder bringer (as Violin + Cello), and Scylla (as piano)

[@lefishe6611]

The last one isn't Scylla, its Calypso from Not sorry for loving you

[@kaibutts8163]

@@lefishe6611it’s Scylla - the same melody as “breaking the bonds that they’ve made” but it took like 15 repeats to hear

[@ZxythRave]

@@lefishe6611 I can’t hear Calypso whatsoever, and apparently neither can many others. Most hear either mutiny or Scylla

[@lefishe6611]

@kaibutts8163 I think you're right, actually, mb

[@dwaynekaye-peck1729]

Depending on the translation of the Odyssey, it does say that she basically sat in the line of fire. that's why one of the lyrics is Cause I'd rather die than grow old without the best of you

[@dragansnyder2786]

2:14 that is the phenomenon we call the "eargasm"adies and gentlemen,.I've heard that it's a very common thing when you're listening to epic: the musical .

[@dragansnyder2786]

16:50 so, ahem "it looks like the reports of Athena's demise were greatly exaggerated"you have to love the way Jorge wholesomely tries to gaslight us sometimes, obviously he did it for a good reason to give us that Epiphany moment of sheer happiness when we realize she's alive, but this one's really funny because it's genuinely managed to split the community, I swear he told Tegan to make it a public announcement that she was done recording for epic just so people would think her character was dead (I'm on to your sneaky little tricks Jorge, in hindsight the timing of that announcement was a little too perfect)

[@i_do_things_blooperberries]

I KNEW SHE WASN'T DEAD HAHA CAYLPSO WAS RIGHT

[@Hypoanimations24]

"Wait" is the best reaction when hearing telemachuses "get off me!"

[@Shaabun]

Diabolical that the villains voice was so fucking gorgeous

[@adriel8498]

I feel like the bed test that Penelope made was to show to odysseus he is still his housband. She know is him, but ody came saying he wasn't

[@Adrono48]

In the Odyssey it was for Penelope to recognize him. In Epic it was for Odysseus to recognize himself

[@LyviaXO_]

I AGREE WITH YOUUUU

[@RacketEPIC]

"daddy's home" 😭😭😭

[@LyviaXO_]

hehehehee

[@MattDrake-eo6sr]

IT'S GIVING "daddy's calling" FROM HAMILTON DURING CABINET BATTLE #2???

[@Stella_Mochi]

I think not a lot have pointed this out, but I did notice after many listening : Penelope : Whoever can string my Husband's old bow Suitor : String the Old King's bow One show respect, the other show disrespect.

[@dragansnyder2786]

I've heard Aaron Alexander's voice described as so soft it's like he's laying you down on a feathered pillow, and honestly given the subject matter, I really wish that wasn't the case but damn it, it is. Also just a fun little side note that I like to bring up whenever I show up, when he starts talking about what he's going to do to Penelope, the other suitors sound so scared of him (I'm not saying they're actually morally good people, but if you listen to the chorus when they' are saying "hold her down"they're not saying it with their whole chest like they were with" hold him down". Antinuous is so insane that it's even giving the other suitors pause, they would probably still go along with it but I think they're all afraid at this point that Odysseus or someone else is going to kill them for what they're talking about.)

[@Patr0chilles_001]

Omggg realll and tbh even tho I hate Antinous his voice is so goodddddd

[@fanofheroes8184]

This saga is so emotional I love it😭😭😭 Been a fan for three years of epic the musical and cried myself eyes out to this saga and just the realization that it’s over. I know jorge has plans for smaller musicals, or maybe another big one, I also know he wants to do an animated show or something, but Epic, The Journey, is over… That hurts. I’ll never say to my brother “Three more months till the next saga” I’ll never say “I’m so excited for this saga!” never gonna feel this again

[@LyviaXO_]

He honestly taught us to learn to let go the things we love. I feel you so much 💚🥹

[@LizaaFernando]

'Tis is only the beginning my friend also Jorge and all of the cast deserve a break after working none-stop

[@FloweyColor]

Hey uh... idk if you know this but epic is a *concept* album. Trust me it is FAR from over ​@@LyviaXO_

[@Edro87]

Did you mean Journessey?

[@steviehills4256]

During the livestream listening party, I cried, I laughed & cried some more & when the cast cried, I cried so hard I finished a whole tissue box. This musical was a labour of love. I've been following this musical since the very beginning. Thank you to everyone that was involved in this project. I've met some amazing people & have made good friends through Epic community. This is not the end, it's only the beginning of great things to come. I love you all.

[@derekshean7300]

Penelope sings waiting 7 times, the exact number of sagas before this one. Edit: I miscounted, but my point still stands

[@Youraverageyurilover33549]

Why must you hurt me like this 🥲

[@Dr.DeviousDeviator]

I love this theory, but there are actually 8 sagas that come before the Ithica Saga

[@simp--]

isn't it 8 before this since there's 9 😭

[@derekshean7300]

I miscounted, my bad. But my point still stands.

[@Beepbeepbop..]

With all the times she sung waiting it was 8 times

[@Shenningtatum]

Also if you listen, after she says for you, the instrumental is the same as just a man, showing no matter how much of a monster he had to become, he is still the same man as the very beginning of the troy saga.

[@SsJameson]

The way her face changes when she realises what the suitors are planning to do to Penelope-

[@chesca.aguilar]

Idk if Im just insane or smth but in The Challenge, istg I can hear Ody join the suitors saying "Time to be the man of the house!" Which js why Penelope said she'd rather die than gorw old without the best lf them 😮. She recognized Ody.

[@mushroom-beans]

You can also hear him join the suitors in Hold Them Down. Up until they start talking about Penelope that is… then he goes silent until he shoots

[@TTanken]

I didn't think I would cry over the last song again. But you pulled me into the feeling of listening to it the first time again.

[@ten5h1]

OMG! For the first time listening to the end of “hold ‘em down”, I HEARD the arrow actually get launched. They picked the wrong day to vocalize violence, though. Odysseus was on his LAST thread, and hearing them talking about what they were planning snapped it.
