Epic Ithaca Saga - Blog Posts

for those who know me, you know that I am a big fan of greek mythology, so when the epic saga by Jorege Rivera-Herrans came out I couldn't help but fall madly in love with it, his music accompanied and inspired me while I was working, and now that this long journey is about to end I couldn't help but leave a tribute to thank him for all the work he has done. he couldn't have left us a better christmas present under the tree! thanks again for everything.

ps: I already know that with the last song I will cry like a fountain!!

Yeah, about that... :)

I just couldn't not draw them)))

For my previous post.

I had an idea that Ares and Aphrodite's rings could have been made from the goddess's old belt. She herself insisted on melting it down into rings as a token of their love.

And now Ares asked her to melt down his ring, since she was "no longer the one he once loved."

🧐Ooh, very warrior of the mind of him. I like it! Ares would definitely know that his Aphrodite knew the significance of those rings.

This was in fact me only a moment after I listened to the last songs.

No, I have not stopped crying even after a few hours

Y'know when Ody was like "I need to be a monster to get home, rarwrr"

Yeah, he didn't actually give up Polites' "Open arms" thing until "Six Hundred Strike"

In "Get In The Water" Ody doesn't jump straight to planning, scheeming, attacknng, or anything really. He actually tries to reason with him, to use compassion and sympathy. He tries to relate to Poseidon and apologizes, encouragung him to forgive.

Then when he's in the ocean, sinking, Poli, Eury, and Anticlea sing to him. But their words are different from the usual.

Eurylochus, is encouraging him, rather than criticizing him.

Anticlea is telling him that she loves him, instead of making it seem like he let her down.

But Polites' what he said. That is what gave Odysseus the ability to go Ruthless on Poseidon. Instead of what he's always been saying, which is "This life is amazing, when you greet it with open arms." He now says, "You can relax my friends, I can tell you're getting nervous"

This is him telling Odysseus, "I know what you've been through... Do what you must to see them."

This 'acceptance' is what allows Odysseus to abandon any form of compassion and mercy and why he's able to be as ruthless as he is.

That's also why he was quick to kill Eurymachus, he mentioned open arms, Odysseys didn't need that philosophy anymore, dead.

Also, y'know when he says "My mercy has long since drowned" ?

yeah thats bs. It only drowned like, 4 hours ago, when he was sinking in the ocean. Because yes, the spirits whre pushing him up. But Polites took his philosophy down with him.

so uh yeah.

Ares after witnessing what happened in "Odysseus" (Athena was right was right about making people bleed):

(The Ares's design i used was made by @anniflamma !!!)

Update from my previous post. The livestream for tonight has been cancelled. But whatever you guys do, do not blame Jorge or anyone else for this mess. Blame the WiFi and the storms at Ithaca.
