@dale.the.human: Some facts about Homer's Odyssey (the original story — or as close to the original as we can get): • Helios is explicitly named as the sun god and the cows belong to him • Xenia (which Nolan renamed "Zeus's law") was a central theme of the story, but the characters don't repeatedly invoke it or talk about it directly • The events of the story do not trigger the collapse of the Bronze Age • Odysseus is not the one who kills the infant at Troy (Astynax) • Odysseus does not beat up Poseidon • The Laestrygonians kill most of Odysseus's crew by throwing rocks at the ships while they're trapped in the harbor • there are no claims that Odysseus kept all his men alive throughout the war, and the Iliad describes many Greek casualties at Troy • the story ends with Odysseus still at the palace, although Tiresias's prophesies include him later traveling inland, making a sacrifice to Poseidon, then returning home to his palace and dying of old age #odyssey #theodyssey #epicthemusical #odysseus #christophernolan

Nene Yashiro #1 glazer :

They should talk abt Circe

Mei :

i think in epic the laestrygonians were with poseidon, just none of the animatics drew them or something

julie ⋆⭒˚.⋆ :

The laestrygonians were the ones chanting ‘poseidon’ at the beginning of ruthlessness so they were technically present

ꉂ⋆.˚ʀɪᴛᴢ ❤︎ ᴘʀᴜꜱꜱɪᴀ‘ꜱ ᴘᴜᴘ𐂯 .ᐟ :

ok but in the illiad, Odysseus would consistently refer to himself as father to Telemachus and not son of latrys (or idk) which shows his pride in being a father and his love for his son, him leaving Telemachus would be so inaccurate

bexx :

epic odysseus did fight the laestrygonians, they're just not featured in any songs. the storm from the wind bag takes them to 'the land of the giants' and then the next time the number of the crew is mentioned it's heavily lower than it was before the land of the giants

user36803612566 :

the magic jetpack is more in line with the spirit of the odissey than whatever tf Nolan was on

☤𐂂 Rebecca ✞ Barnes ✪⧗ :

At least EPIC Ody HAD the windbag 💀

✣✩𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚎𝚜✩✣ :

didn't aeolus mention the land of laestragonions in the epic? like that one line where aeolus said "I said to keep the bag closed but you were incomplient if I had to guess youre heading to the land of the giants"

art & animation <3 :

I wanna see them talk abt polites, epic : “Polites? My best friend/situationship? Oh yeah he haunts me every 3 songs” 😭🥹

Татьяна Иванова :

Epic!Ody is dressed like a begger but slay like a king

Kari :

the magic jetpack is still more accurate than Nolan’s ego play

System notifiications :

epic ody did mention that there was deaths in the trojan war “10 years they killed us slowly”

Zabella Cosplay :

it took me forever to realize the laestrogonians are actually in epic. the other voices in the background for ruthlessness? yeah, that's them.

Mena :

“Have fun with the sea people” respectfully, did you miss the part where they say that the “sea people” were Odysseus’ men orrrr…?

Asheroots :

"put on a magic jetpack" yeah of course you don't think that could be possible, BECAUSE YOU NEVER WENT TO SEE AEOLIS!

idk :

ruthlessness is mercy upon our selves 😢

Drowning Skeleton :

Wait a sec Laestrygonians were in Epic just never showed in animatics (Except one)

A Cool Ninja :

HE SAID IT WAS A SKILL ISSUE

Flimsy :

monke4765 :

guys the laestrygonians were not in epic poseidon stopped the crew before they could reach the land of the giants

Witchbud 🇨🇦 :

epic was less faithful to the plot, but more faithful to the themes, Nolan odyssey was more faithful to the plot, but significantly less faithful to the morals and themes

☆ﾟ.*･_!Katsuyaa!_☆ﾟ.*･ :

I'm sorry but,YOU LEFT TELEMACHUS ?

AstraNM :

both of them being inconsistent and fighting eachother about it.

Court Jester :

i must’ve missed something did you say magic jetpack

🦇Chris🦇 :

didnt they literally say the isle of the giants or smthin
