To be fair, we already had the complete demo version of this song, so Lampyrcy was probably only waiting for the final version to release and use this audio
It actually requires alot of strength and technique, talemicus actually managed to do it but it took him a few try's even after he worked out how to do it ^_^
I love how Penelope says, "my husband's old bow" while the suitors refer to it as, "the old king's bow" It's such a good detail and the slight change makes such a big difference
I love how it shows that Penelope still views Odysseus as her husband after all these years while the suitors say “old king” (Emphasis on old) as it shows they’re only concerned for they’re greedy ambition… and for Antonius lustful…
Yes! I noticed that too! They never cared about Odysseus beyond him being their "old king!" They don't care about Penelope as anything other than a bed warmer! They are blinded by their ambition, their greed, their lust! They all step into the challenge thinking only of the prizes, not realizing until Antinous points out that it's a stall tactic and a trap that they've fallen for. They dismiss Odysseus as dead and buried, not thinking that there was a trick only HE knew in terms of how to string the bow. And boy, did they pay for it because they refused to leave while they could.
@@WriterKing92that last part is especially potent because amphinomus, the only suiter she liked and ody warned him beforehand and he didn't leave, in the og he got the poseidon treatment by telemachus. In epic he finds the weapons and pivots from killing his KING to killing telemachus as if he didn't see antonios get impaled for even imagining it
Penelope sitting inside the outline the arrows made - where an arrow would fly if anyone actually managed to complete her challenge is such a nice detail.
If someone did manage to shoot through and win her competition, she wants the arrow to kill her rather than give herself to another man, hence the line I would rather die
People, the Ithaca Saga IS out, but as Jorge and crew are currently in Greece, for people in the states it will be in the Release section of his channel in about an hour. Timezones be silly like that
The segment where Penelope is singing “Waiting~” and it spins around showing her hugging all the different iterations of Odysseus as he grew older, even including the versions she never saw, and ending with her staring at a cloud in the shape of a smiling face…. Oh that was pure cinema.
2:24 This shot feels like despite the men's attempts (especially over the years), she still refused to budge and give up the throne to them, no matter how dangerous or close it got. Penelope's one hell of a woman
Also, please note that the saga has actually been released (don't forget to check it all out, full of amazing songs as per usual), and for those wondering about the watch party -, Jay's response was as followed: "Hello my friends, I'm very sorry but the premiere party isn't going to happen tonight. I'm posting a video about it right now. I love you all. I'll make it up to you ASAP" 💚💜
@@boxtank5288 Not surprising, it was a palintonos bow, which are ridiculous;y complex to string and require a lot of upper body strength to draw the bowstring back to fire. You'd need to be a trained soldier with decades of training to use it.
Girl been weaving every day for hours for 20 years everyday her arms and back strength has to be gold level( I think in those old machinery these would be the groups that would have been hit the most) Ps: discovered later she was a Spartan princess so yeah Ody got a beefcake of a wife, lucky man
The Ithaca saga gave me depression. I almost cried during this 2:59 . Especially because I realized this saga is the last of our beloved epic the musical. It’s over.
Heyo everyone - Happy Holidays to all those celebrating!!! For my last video of this year I wanted to do one of the songs from the recently released Ithaca saga (with the clean audio)!!
The pink color just makes this a whole lot different in my opinion. It makes me imagine it was truly Penelope's perspective of the day she instructed the challenge. And i loved how you made them look much like there only in there 20's! It's nice seeing something different from other animatics from the last sagas... ❤❤❤
Can I just say how much I love the imagery you added. The clock, the suitors on the crown, Penelope shoving the crowd, their reflection and even her sitting with the throne and arrows behind her. AMAZING! (CHEF KISS*)
This has the best "Epic styled like a dark magical girl anime" vibes I've seen so far, I'm eating it uppp (I love that kind of imagery for Epic haha) Your Penelope is so gorgeous and things like the frame with the clock and the arrows around her in the throne are SO GOOD!! All the rainbows give me the vibe that Iris is subtly telling her that Odysseus is going to be back very soon
“So let the arrow fly once you know that your aim is true because I’d rather die than grow old without the best of you” You can just hear the emotion in her voice when she sings this part 😭
I saw this had been posted 2 hours before it would be released in my timezone. But we're very good at waiting in this fandom. Just finished listening to the whole saga before coming back here
They’re so in love. It’s so beautiful. I’m so happy that despite the horrors Ody faced, the years of waiting that Penelope endured, that they were able to reunite and have their happy ending. It gives me so much joy and hope❤
Let's do everything possible to get Epic to the theaters!! If there's not enough money, we'll pay!!! Please Jorge Rivera-Herrans, we'll help with whatever is needed!!!
I haven’t heard the song gonna listen to it during livestream but I’m definitely coming back to watch this cause I feel like this will be one of favorite songs
When Penelope sings waiting, my heart shattered. I felt both such tragedy for all shes endured since the start of the Trojan war, but such profound joy that her tragedy ends soon
Poor sweet queen, missing her husband! Don't worry, like he said in his first song, he's on his way, Penelope! (This was outstanding and beautiful.) HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
God I really love your depiction of Penelope it's so different from other animatics and it's so refreshing. (Don't mind me I just made this acc to comment on your video it's just so AMAZING!!!)
Jorge works fast but the Epic fandom works faster💪 This is genuinely so beautiful and beyond impressive that you got it out so fast, well done!! Thank you for sharing your art with us all🫶
I have a few corrections for this animatic but don’t take it personally 1.Penelope wasn’t knitting she was weaving on this big board thing I’m pretty sure but don’t credit me on that 2. Stringing a bow means to but the string on the bow not dreading the bow back they both r hard but the suitors couldn’t string the bow so hence they couldn’t even pull it in the first place
The captain works fast, *BUT THE CREW WORKS FASTER*
Like literally, I just listened to the Ithaca saga and went sobbing. 11:23am, 25th of December, year of 2024.
11:46am, Im no longer myself.
@@AJTheShawgAs a person still waiting for it (EST) I'm dreading it... ❤
It’s still not out where I’m at 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Edit: ITS OUT NOW AND I BAWLED
BRO SAMEEEEE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
To be fair, we already had the complete demo version of this song, so Lampyrcy was probably only waiting for the final version to release and use this audio
Funny thing is Odysseus’s bow was said to be so taut that no suitor was able to string it, let alone shoot with it.
It actually requires alot of strength and technique, talemicus actually managed to do it but it took him a few try's even after he worked out how to do it ^_^
and Odysseus just use it like a normal bow to fight the suitors
@@WIO-qk3xdbased
Fun Fact: That bow is originally the bow that the Hercules used. Yes, the Hercules. Odysseus literally has Herculean strength. This is in the Odyssey.
@@Peakosprey bro just build different..... The power of staying loyal to your wife 🗣️🔥
I love how Penelope says,
"my husband's old bow"
while the suitors refer to it as,
"the old king's bow"
It's such a good detail and the slight change makes such a big difference
YES OMG THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I NOTICED!!!!

THIS. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED HOW COOL THIS WAS. SHE STILL SEES HIM AS THE KING AND HER HUSBAND BUT TO THEM HES JUST SOMEONE TO USURP.
Penelope, casually strings the bow. The suitors, can't string the damned bow.
She *is* a Spartan princess
There's also said to be a trick to stringing it, and since Ody loves his wife, it's likely he would have shown her how
"We'll share the spoils"
Penelope casually stringing the unstringable bow: "Careful Icarus, The Sun shines hot and the gods are cold.
Just like "Alright hoe's, here's what you need to do:"
Also thanks for so many likes guys.
You officially win prize for fastest masterpiece made
I agree it's beautiful
Ikr!
HECK YEAH!! Even animating in advance, editing the animatic to the official release is SO QUICK

I didn’t even think about that. That is an amazing detail! Thanks for pointing it out omg

Thank you 😩 i was so confused and searching everywhere for it
Awesome! I'll be waaaaaitinggggg
AHHHH alright! Thank you!
Been an hour, nothing
Those of in the States probably aren't getting it until midday-evening.
The segment where Penelope is singing “Waiting~” and it spins around showing her hugging all the different iterations of Odysseus as he grew older, even including the versions she never saw, and ending with her staring at a cloud in the shape of a smiling face…. Oh that was pure cinema.
I clicked on this faster than Zeus could cheat on Hera
SOBBING
That's crazy 🤣🤣
PFFFFFT- WHAT HELP😭😭😭😂😂🤣🤣
That’s like the flash bro how did you do that
ok that was uncalled for-

I don't see the songs yet
Where are they released ?! Please 😭💙
The songs aren't set to release for another 2 hours 👀👀
Where can we find it??
Well, if we must wait...
Also fun fact in the odyssey it is said that none of the suitors can string his bow
I mean so does the musical. It's the beginning of Hold Them Down
can confirm
That would explain why the suitors plotted their vile acts in Hold Them Down.
Not a surprise. That's HERACLES' BOW.

It was released early on Jorge youtube channel!

And now we can listen to it in its entirety. And experience the whole story 😊
Penelope, casually stringing and drawing back the bow, which would have been 125 POUNDS TO DRAW.

Animators just KEEP GETTING FASTER HOLY, amazing work‼😭🔥🔥
Her seeing Odysseus as the rainbow after the storm at the end of Vengeance is such a great detail, one of the best and fastest I've seen
Can I just say how much I love the imagery you added. The clock, the suitors on the crown, Penelope shoving the crowd, their reflection and even her sitting with the throne and arrows behind her. AMAZING! (CHEF KISS*)
The live might be canceled but at least I have this masterpiece!!!
This has the best "Epic styled like a dark magical girl anime" vibes I've seen so far, I'm eating it uppp

Your Penelope is so gorgeous and things like the frame with the clock and the arrows around her in the throne are SO GOOD!! All the rainbows give me the vibe that Iris is subtly telling her that Odysseus is going to be back very soon
Anyway don't forget to stan Penelope (And Anna Lea for their stellar voice) - patient queen
This fandom has hermes working with them
Oh look, Epic Animators are at work already, how fun!
“So let the arrow fly once you know that your aim is true because I’d rather die than grow old without the best of you”
You can just hear the emotion in her voice when she sings this part 😭
PENELOPE IS SO PRETTY OSHFJSKXUHE ODYSSEUS STOP FLEXING
I love how she's standing in the middle of a clock while "buying you time"
Hermes would like his speed back because DAM! This masterpiece came out for me before the actual Ithaca Saga.
HOW ON EARTH DID YOU DO THIS SO QUICKLY???? MASTERPIECE
EXPLODES THE EPIC COMMUNITY WORKS SO FAST, HAPPY ITHACA SAGA DAY AND LOVE YOU ALL 💚💚💚
Now that Athena's back, shes using quick thought on the crew again
The quality and emotions of all your animatics for the Epic songs were all the best and heartbreaking!
I love how you portrayed Penelope here so much
I CRIED WHILE LISTENING TO IT ON SPOTIFY IT WAS SO GOOD, I LOVED LOOKING FOR THEIR INSTRUMENTS DURING THE SONGS :D
Her hugging and looking at all the different versions of Ody 🥹🥹❤️ Pure masterpiece!
Literal shivers when she started singing waiting. Amazing animation. Well done
Pen hugging all the different versions/colours of Ody was so frikin beautiful. The colours for this were perfection! amazing job!
I wasn't expecting to see an animatic this soon. It looks amazing like always ! Your Penelope is so cute !!!
Ugh I'm eastern time so I still have to wait 2 hours for the songs 😭😭😭 Amazing animatic!!!! It looks awesome
You think that is bad I have to wait 3 hours and 30 min 😭😭😭
Use a VPN my man
This is GORGEOUS!!! The rainbow coloration at the end was absolutely beautiful!!
I saw this had been posted 2 hours before it would be released in my timezone. But we're very good at waiting in this fandom. Just finished listening to the whole saga before coming back here
This is literally the most gorgeous animatic, it shows so much love and feeling!
Jorge: makes a new saga

THE SAGA JS DROPPED
It normally takes like four days for 1 animation to drop but then like a lot in the first day
I'm going to cry from this song
When Penelope sings waiting, my heart shattered. I felt both such tragedy for all shes endured since the start of the Trojan war, but such profound joy that her tragedy ends soon
Poor sweet queen, missing her husband! Don't worry, like he said in his first song, he's on his way, Penelope!
(This was outstanding and beautiful.) HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
I didnt expect an animatic this good so soon wow
God I really love your depiction of Penelope it's so different from other animatics and it's so refreshing.
(Don't mind me I just made this acc to comment on your video it's just so AMAZING!!!)
HOW DO EPIC ANIMATORS WORK SO FAST??? 😭🙏 ALSO, I LOVE PENELOPE'S DESIGN!!
I love the colours you used! They really stand out from other animatics!
You locked the hell in dude, props to you cause WHAT.
Aw. This was just gorgeous. I love her being framed by the arrows. A nice little metahpor
I'm in awe, absolutely beautiful!
Indeed, my fellow Epic fan.
Her with Odysseus’s ghost was so beautiful
I love how she says "I'll last" and not he'll last showing that she has faith in him coming home yet worrying that he won't get there quicker
My guy, it’s came out… TODAY! This fandom is insane! 🫡
Watching this now cause when this dropped the saga wasn’t even out in my timezone! Wow the EPIC fandom really is fast
YOU GUYS ARE SO DAMN FAST DAMN
The arrows all sticking out of the throne was such a good choice
This is my favourite in the entire Musical and you did an amazing job bringing such a beautiful song to life❤❤
Happy new year to you all
I LOVE IT. your design for Penelope is beautiful also wow u work fast
this is just... so beautiful, and your Penelope is GORGEOUS!
