I love that the visual tones change matches the moment when Odysseus realize that his friend, the ever optimistic one with rose-colored lenses is gone, that grief is blinding him and caused the lapes in judgment with revealing his true name. With his friends, he had the tactical advantage and was calculating, with the loss his couldn't think straight and your animation really makes this shines through
Oh..
Ikr- this really captures how blinded by grief Odysseus is
If that helps Polites in original Odyssey doesn't die in the hands of cyclops. He was with them when they met Circe for instance
And Athena tries to help but he rejects her Wisdom
@@tumblingartistodysseus is blinded by grief, the cyclops is blinded by being blind
The ending with Polyphemus grinning is so sick! He's like "Oooh? Then My FaThEr WiLl HeAr AbOuT tHiS" Amazing work as always!!
"Pottah!"
Pottah!
Draco malfoy core frfr
Polyphemus channeling his inner Draco Malfoy
The Draco Malfoy of ancient Greece 😂
I always love the “Who Hurt You” “Nobody” moment. Because you can hear the pain and fear and sadness in the little “don’t go” at the end.
it’s such a powerful moment, the loneliness really shows here, the desperate need for help, it really show the rage and pain in both sides
Its because Odyssey told him his name is nobody
I don't know why but I wanna hug that big evil mf lmao
@@cockycookie1 He's not evil. Some little thieves come in and kill his favorite sheep
@@cockycookie1 idk man, what would you do if a bunch of rats ate your dogs?
The way Athena appeared and then in order to prove her wrong Odysseus ended up giving his name... heartbreaking. I love Athena's design, like a middle ground between inhuman and ethereal.
_"What good would killing do when mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use."_
I love that line so much 💗
Well the great irony is he also proves how that very line only leads to more ruin, not less.
@@techpriest6962 Athena just ruined everything by appearing, there were tons more cyclopses and if he came back to finish off that one cyclops he would get swarmed and die, and Athena actually makes him want to do something even worse, SAYING THE LOCATION OF HIS KINGDOM!
and then they all die because of that and is wife too.
@@Golnhekjd, yeah, because going to kill him wouldn't have killed them all since there were many more cyclops, Athena's presence made everything worse, they were already leaving, the cyclops wouldn't have been able of doing anything, and Athena basically made him give him the information that he needed, if he'd actually heard her it would have been worse since all of them would have died, they couldn't even kill one cyclops, not without great loses anyway, how would they have been able of facing so many? That would have been suicide, Athena was only looking for herself and her prestige, which is what all greek gods did, they weren't how a God is supposed to be, a REAL mentor, someone how taught morals and righteousness and cared for his people, someone who were truly wise and would teach true wisdom, someone who wasn't so selfish and proud and cared not only for himself and satisfying his whims, that's why I don't consider this gods true gods in their world and moment so to speak where they are considered as such because they don't have what a true god would have to have to be a god, and mercy would be part of that wisdom, if people where really merciful and loved each other and cared for morals and what is really good even in our world and time (or if they would have done that in the past too) there would be no wars, no more stupid bloodshed, war in itself is foolishness, it's not wise, that's why the fact that Athena is both goddess of wisdom AND war (being a lot more strategical, smart and cold-thinking than Ares who would be hot-headed and basically be like a volcano) is jarring and questioning at best
@@doloresgronenberg5882 there was only one cyclop, the voice they took for more of them was Poseidon himself, his son called out to him for help.
And he was already gone before athena warned him, the greek gods are not omniscient.
otherwise he wouldn't need his son to tell him the name of the one who hurt him.
To be honest, I’ve never seen EPIC: The Musical, but this is a work of art for sure!
I'd be surprised if you'd seen it, considering it's not finished yet lol.
Epic is just the albums, it's not complete yet, we only have 2 albums, I don't remember the name of the first one, but the second one is called "Cyclope Saga" I think
Edit. the first one is "Troy Saga", thanks @beanybeans4361
@@itsme_time1596 the first one is the "Troy Saga"
@@Loreseeker909 ohh no wonder i couldn't find clips from the play/movie 😅 makes sense hahaha
@@beaniestofbeanybeans thank u thank u
"What good would killing do? When mercy is a-"
"It'd prevent him from asking his father Poseidon to sink your ships before you can all get home."
"..."
"..."
"Y'know, I'm glad you gave me a specific example of why he's still a threat."
"Yeah, that's why I'm the goddess of wisdom. Do you want to borrow my spear?"
Zeus ordered the gods to stop interfering directly with mortals involved with the trojan war after aphrodite got injured, she was pushing it with the counsel already.
A good thing Poseidon limited himself to personally sinking Odysseus' entire fleet. His direct interference must be something to fear.
@@candiedcrusader7841She likely would have told him If he hasn't snap out of her time freeze dimension.
Zeus just ordered that temporarily.
Lmao ikr? Her actual advice is what made him mad enough to reveal his name. He was *leaving,* Athena. He would have been fine before you decided to provoke someone dealing with acute grief. 0/10 advice.
@@spiritedaway0tutu also if he had left he would've told his dad "nobody" hurt him
but thanks to Athena poking Ody's ego, he revealed his name
At the end when Polyphemus smiles i think he would say something like "Thank you...oddysseus" With that smerk
I LOVE the way you draw and depict the characters, and the animatic is great as always!
I really love those moments of quick animation like Odysseus wiping his tears where you see the fluid motion.
I love how the Cyclops smiles at the end cause he knows who to call his daddy to kill
I love how you captured so well the beginning when Odyssey seems like he is on autopilot out of shock before he is asked what about his fallen friends
I love how your design for Athena makes her face look subtly like that of an owl’s. Peak design imo
And once again I am amazed by your work! And you make these animatics so quickly aswell! The emotions you capture are increadable! I love your work, Wolfy! You are such an inspiration!
This is my favorite song in the whole playlist I’m so happy to see you animating it!
Having read the Odyssey, being a fan of Greek Mythology, and obsessing with the Epic The Musical soundtrack, this is a MASTERPIECE. I love it! Great work! You draw their expressions so well- Odysseus' grief and rage, Polyphemus' grin, the frozen horror on Polites' face... Not to mention the amazing transitions! Especially to Athena.
Wolfy’s gonna be the szin of this fandom these animatics are AMAZING
Istg,
Szin carried the hamilton fandom
Gigi and Kaitcake carried the Six Fandom
And now its Wolfys turn
As tragic as the line ends up being, I love the brief moment of triumph where Odysseus declares his identity.
His biggest mistake was telling the Cyclops who he was...
Love this. Love love love. I hope you continue the full length ones.
OMG. I just realized when Polyphemus said "It was Nobody Nobody" it's because Odysseus said his name is Nobody Nobody before in Polyphemus's MV.
I love how you see Ody and Eury freeze with wide eyes from fear when the first "Who hurt you" is heard before they duck behind the rocks.
Just realized this is actually these were the very first men Odysseus ever lost, he lead them for nine years at war and all of them survived, only to die to the cyclops, must have hit hard
Especially since the very first one was Polites, his best friend
THIS- IS- AMAZING! So many of your ideas are very similar to how I envisioned this as an animatic. The only problem is that I can't make it an animatic, because I don't know how to animate and I don't have time because I'm graduating. Shame.
But atleast in the meantime I can enjoy your depiction so thank you for that!
Odysseus: Existing
Poseidon: “I took that personally.”
The “who hurt you?” part is chilling and beautiful
I can see that when Odysseus says "what good would killing do...when mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use" I can see him looking away from Athena and imagining Polities standing next to him, smiling, and teaching him to greet the world with open arms. And Odysseus gets emotional and that is when he looks to to Athena and snaps at her "my friend is DEAD, our foe is..." That is what I see. Its him with more emotion behind his reasonings. But your animation is amazing!!! Love love love it!!!
Lyrics:
[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain!
Captain!
Captain!
[ODYSSEUS]
We must move quickly, we don't have much time
He didn't notice I mixed lotus in his wine
Mark my words now, this is not the end
[EURYLOCHUS]
But captain, what'll we do with our fallen friends?
[ODYSSEUS, ODYSSEUS & SOLDIERS]
Remember them
When the fire begins to fade
For the fallen and afraid
We are not to let them die in vain
Remember them
We're the ones who carry on
The flames of those who've gone
And our comrades will not die in vain
[ODYSSEUS]
I need all our hands on his club
This is how we're getting out of here
Use your swords to sharpen the stub
And turn it to a giant spear
[SOLDIERS]
Let's kill him!
[ODYSSEUS]
His body is blocking the path
If we kill him we'll be stuck inside
[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain, where do we attack him?
[ODYSSEUS]
We gotta stab him in the eye
[SOLDIERS]
Yes sir
Remember them
When the fire begins to fade
For the fallen and afraid
We are not to let them die in vain
[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS]
Remember them
We're the ones who carry on
The flames of those who've gone
And our comrades will not die in vain
[ODYSSEUS]
Now!
Scatter!
[CYCLOPES]
Who hurts you?
[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
There are more of them?
[CYCLOPES]
Who hurts you?
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Hide
[CYCLOPES]
Who hurts you?
[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain, we should run
[ODYSSEUS]
Wait
[CYCLOPES]
Who hurts you?
[EURYLOCHUS]
Captain, please
[ODYSSEUS]
Wait
[POLYPHEMUS]
It was Nobody, Nobody
[CYCLOPES]
If nobody hurts you, be silent
[POLYPHEMUS]
Don’t go!
[ODYSSEUS]
Let's grab the sheep and away we go
[ATHENA]
Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?
He's still a threat until he's dead
Finish it
[ODYSSEUS]
No
[ATHENA]
No?
[ODYSSEUS]
What good would killing do
When mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use
My friend is dead, our foe is blind
The blood we shed, it never dries
Is this what it means to be a warrior of the mind?
[ATHENA]
Don't!
[ODYSSEUS]
Hey, Cyclops!
When we met, I led with peace
While you fed your inner beast
But my comrades will not die in vain
Remember them
The next time that you dare choose not to spare
Remember them
Remember us
Remember me
I'm the reigning king of Ithaca
I am neither man nor mythical
I am your darkest moment
I am the infamous
Odysseus
You should do all the epic soundtrack! I need more of these!
Ooh I absolutely love your version !!! Draws are awesome and I can perfectly represent the scene with your work ❤ Hope you'll continue to enjoy drawing this musical and thank you for the video !!
(hi from France ;))
Why did I just realize when cyclops asked for a name and he said nobody so that’s why he said nobody did it
I can’t wait until the whole musical is done cause I am loving all of these!
The spine chilling silence as Odysseus screams his name signifying he's greatest mistake.
Odysseus I hear what you're saying but a) that thing decided For You that this was going to end in death, b) you just gave him a Very Good Reason to hate you on top of murdering his favorite sheep/stealing his food/trying to make him forgive you by giving him drugged booze, and c) although WE know Polyphemus survives at least long enough to rat you out to Poseidon, YOU don't have any way of knowing he'll survive the trauma, blood loss, and potential for infection from HAVING HIS EYEBALL IMPALED WITH A GIANT SPLINTERY WOODEN OBJECT.
You wanna be merciful the sensible thing would've been to finish him off so there's NO chance he'll die a slow painful infection death after you leave. Dingus.
I watched this before the recent release of Ruthlessness.
Absolute shivers.
See in the original story Polites was killed by Scylla so I was very surprised he died so early on and It was shocking to see. I love how this musical is made.
That poor little “don’t go D:”
I never really I heard the “who hurt you” part wrong damn
Why’s nobody talking about the Cyclops’ smug little face “I’m so gonna tell my dad about you”
Draco Malfoy would be a good friend for this cyclop (My FaThEr WiLL kNoW aBoUt ThIs)
4:00 It was in that moment, he’d learned, he fucked up.
The last part!
🎵I am neither man nor mythicaaaallll
i kinda felt bad for Polyphemus, i mean, that one face broke my heart LOL
This scene has no business being so hype
Never give your name
I am flabbergasted by how amazing this animation is. It’s to so perfect! So lively! And every bit of it is just beautiful. CHEF’S KISS
Me @ Poseidon when Ody opens the bag: It seems you have been tricked, duper, and quite possibly bamboozled.
Honestly at that point it would have indeed been more merciful to kill the cyclops. They blinded him and took all of his pet sheep. Guy is just going to live an empty crippled life from then on
Zeus: here’s an innocent baby you have to kill
Ody: yes very sad…anyway YEET
Athena: this cyclops you have severely wounded is still very much a threat to you and your crew so you must go back and end this
Ody: good idea but how about…now hear me out…I give him my name and home address instead?
Ouuu that ending 😮 CHILLING. THANKS FOR CREATING YET ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!
This is quite an animatic
oHHHH my god your EXPRESSIONS are GORGEOUS
This made me so broken inside bc of Nexus, and knowing that this song matches him/his mindset 💔 😭
But I really love the art and edit of this whole thing ❤️👏
omg you guys are so talanted! both Jy and you! The musivle is just awesome but I swear this animatic is just amazing!!! I would not understand a half without your work. and this together is a MASTERPIECE
1:56 I Just love the “oh shit” face on Odysseus in this frame
For the love of everything this sent shivers down my spine and gave me so much happiness. Your art is amazing and such and inspiration. Just looking at your work gives me so much inspiration. Keep it up! 💛💛💛
I love the shit eating grin at the end. I mean I'd definitely tell my dad too who stabbed me in the eye if they were dumb enough to tell me their name 😂😂
This is so amazing to watch. I admire the artistry and storytelling of this animatic. It made me interested about the epic musical. I really like this kind of content. It saddens me that Odysseus' best friend died. I really like that character :(.
seeing everything with the cyclops total didnt make me nearly cry. that was amazing!!
Your Odysseus is so skrungly. Such a poor little meow meow. Such babygirl.
IVE LITERALLY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
Nah Odysseus is just dumb for telling him his government name
It's even worse in the original poem. He threw im his father's name too.
@@James--Parker na no way he was that dumb
Athena really shouldve used her wisdom better. He already stated in order to get out they cant kill him at first. They struggled so much before and couldn't kill or severely wound him. With their morale broken and injured, they wouldn't be able to kill him. If they tried, the other cyclopes would eventually come. Come on athena
never gonna forgive odysseus for dropping the full government name
And Polyphemus immediately cries to his daddy
The whole video is epic. I really like how the "heroic song" disappears when the other cyclops appear, and then everyone feels that sensation of danger again.
They only managed to wound Polyphemus because because he had fallen asleep. But how are they supposed to deal with an entire comunity of cyclops? That part was really tense.
3:30 🌧"I'm the raining King of Ithaca!" 🌧
His tears as he speaks of remembering them and him taking Polites' headband❤😢❤
Did not see the multiple eyes in the darkness coming, nice touch
3:57 that grin though😅
Im in love with odyseas cut when he point his sowrd it just make me remamber vinlande saga
hey man do the "survival" you skipped that part, i love your work
Fr this is how reimaginings of IPs should work
Hollywood better be taking notes lol
Mf threw it all away at 3:31
I know I'm super late but to me Athena's warning and calling the cyclops a threat was never her actually calling the CYCLOPS a threat but rather the Cyclop's father. I genuinely wonder how different this saga and even the whole story would be if the cyclops wasn't Poseidon's son
I had a hunch that this was going to be remember them hehe. Glad I was right. Now I have a full animatic list version of Epic XD
Maybe this Will help to keep the Madness aways until the Next saga is out.
And quite a song
Odysseus didn't need to kill him like Athena said. All he had to do was leave without revealing his real name. As he was blind he couldn't point out and say it was him, the best would be to describe him but even that wouldn't be much since Odysseus doesn't have an extremely striking feature and could pass for any man. If Odysseus had controlled himself and not had his name at the end, half of the problems up front wouldn't exist.
i need wolythewitch's EPIC animatics injected directly into my veins
Ok, I need more
Can’t believe Odysseus gave Polyphemus his IP address smh 🤦♀️
Notice how Odysseus finds himself between the same dilemma as he did before in Troy. Another God orders him to finish off an opponent because he might be a potential threat.
At first it was an innocent baby boy
Now is a huge beast
The first time Odysseus obeyed the gods. This time he didn't.
It's almost like that murder had its toll on him and chose to spare the life of a lethal creature and let him live with the consequences of his actions (that he trespassed the laws of hospitality by killing and eating his comrades) rater than kill him.
Gosh I love details like that that give fresh look at ancient stories!
Amazing animation! The moment with tye cyclops eyes appear was chilling! And even that tiny brief second of seeing Odysseus's trusted friend on the ground definitely was one of the most inpactful!
I love how this animatic shows how the immense grief of losing his best friend affected him verry much, and probably impaired his decision making, im pretty sure in epic canon no man of his died in the war, and this kinda puts into perspective the importance of this event, the first time someone close to him suffered the consequences of his decisions, and it was his best friend.
Not sure about the none of his people dying since in the verz first song he says "ten years of war they killed us slowly" but it was for sure traumatic to see so many of his men die
@@Morningstar_37 in fact in a clip from Luck Runs Out, Odysseus says to Eurylochus: "I took six hundred men to war and no one of them died there, in case you needed a reminder" So none of his men died in Troy
so its important that its the first time so many died under his command then right?
Makes the scene extra significant :((
i learned this from osp/overly sarcastic productions near the end of the epic, most of the crew was massacred by the sea of monsters. idk if its super accurate but that just what i saw.
Honestly Athena’s wisdom should have been more along the lines of “stay anonymous because if you say your real name that Cyclops will tell on you to his father Poseidon, the god of the Sea which you need to get home to your family and kingdom”
I would love that because that’s a logical thing to do aside from killing the cyclops
@@stephaniemcdonald1197 If he turned back to kill the cyclops he would be swarmed by the other cyclopses, his entire army of fine warriors struggled at killing one of them, let one like 10.

Then the
"If no one hurt you
BE SILENT"
and the "Dont goooo"

The expressions, the visuals, taking the headband, the grin at the end when Odysseus makes the mistake and reveals his name... you really are doing the epic musical more than justice with your amazing works for it
The song always held such power in it and you captured it perfectly
Oh my, now when I watched this I didn’t understand why cyclop was grinning like that in the end but now… That feels like something Oddys does without thinking, like did no one teach him how dangerous it can be to give out you’re name and what power you give to people with that simple information 😂😨🫠 when I read you’re comment and understood the meaning of the video it sent chills down my spine😂
Ikr- the smile at the end is absolutely terrifying like “ohohoho you fate will be worse than death when I call my father, _Odysseus”_
@@Junithyst1314 Except it was not a mistake it was a choice he DOES know the power of the name which is why at the very start he greets the cyclops saying his name is Nobody. In the myth it does play out like this that once they sail out he tells him his true name implying he got cocky because safe on the boat. What I like with the EPIC retelling it seems to be more grief and anger motivated he still waits until they are on the boats to protect his remaining men and wasnt going to say anything but Athena giving out calling him stupid caused him to snap and go fine all of this is stupid?! might as well tell him who bested him and have my friend's soul be comforted that everyone knows I defeated his killer
This is stupid and a mistake but it was a mistake he chose to make in grief and anger not from ignorance

First of all: Poseidon is the god of ocean and Not WATER. There are A LOT OF water related deities and Poseidon is only one of them. Like I said: He is the god of ocean and not rivers.
Second, Even if he was indeed the god of water, Rivers in the underworld are not normal rivers: they are not made of water. They are special rivers that have magical liquids flowing through them. Therefore they are not part of his domain.
Gosh the way he closes his eyes, the tear, the reflection of the eye, THE SMILE AT THE END. The moment the viewer realizes how bad that choice was. I got hooked into Epic because of you so THANK YOU SO MUCH. Keep up the awesome work!! ❤️❤️

So,is it an anormal mistake that this beast stayed alive? I don’t sure, that in canon stories it will avenge the heroes😮
@@mirrorsouls1 all cyclops are sons of Poseidon. Polyphemus asks for his father to avenge him and now that he knows Odysseus' name, he knows where to send his revenge to. And that made the voyage much harder to get back home for the poor guy
@@mirrorsouls1 Not Amoral, so much as foolish and self-destructive.
@@nereabeunzagonzalez9549 it also killed a bunch more of his men, if i remember later in the story only one boat survives posidens wrath
Everyone focuses on Athena saying "Don't," but ignores the fact that her presence made the situation worse. Odysseus was leaving. He was done. And he was right, too. There were more cyclops. And they couldn't beat one. If they had turned to finish him off, they would have died.
Athena showing up and telling him to finish it was almost insulting. It felt like she cared less about the men that would die and more about the glory of her Warrior winning.
But thats exactly what her relationship with Odysseus was, she didnt love him as a friend. Of course, he was the man she loved most, but you could not equate it to the love one has for their friends yk. The gods used their heroes as toys, they controlled them, made them fight their monsters and showed them off for their own pleasure. Athena was no different, she cared only for her reputation and how Odysseus made her look. And its sad because youre right, if Athena had not come it wouldve spared Odysseus like 10 years perhaps. Mortal heroes never meant much to the gods, they played them like chess pieces.
Damn that analysis made me realize a whole lot of things
Took me a while to see this comment, but yes, 100,000% Athena did not help Odysseus and instead nearly dragged him and his crew to complete annihilation. I am glad more people are seeing that it would have been stupid if she had gotten her way, and they had listened to her words.
You are right, but not in the cyclops part, there werent any more cyclops in the original story, the pressence in the video should be a god (Poseidon) who protects the cyclops because they are his sons. But for the rest you are 100% right.
Surely killing the cyclops would prove to be difficult and probably cost him some more comrades. I believe that the part where Odysseus reveals his name wasn't really influenced by Athena. It was clearly his ego. If you make that assumption then Athena was right, he was a threat and proved to be.
Also, @joseangelbravogallego9363 there were more cyclops in the story just not exactly near him. Big creatures their voices echoed across the island
I’ve been waiting so long to see the “Who hurts you?” to “don’t go” animated. We are blessed today ❤
Same
Zeus: kill this innocent baby
Odysseus: YEET
Athena, goddess of WISDOM: kill this enemy you’ve severely injured because he’s still dangerous
Odysseus: No. In fact I’m going to give him my home address.
Athena: *forehead slap*
Absolutely beautiful wolfy, Odysseus’s grief and determination is palpable and heart wrenching. Thank you for sharing more Epic content with us!
To be fair, Athena just says "he's a threat".
Zeus explained exactly WHY the baby represented doom for Odysseus.
Wait… but in the Iliad, Odysseus never has to kill Hector’s baby. That’s what Neoptolemus (Pyrrhus) does.
Edit: Ah, never mind, it seems like there are many versions.
@@yearlywise8003 yes, in the version that I know of, Odysseus had the idea of killing the baby, but Neoptolemus was the one who did the job
@@Hjernespreng i mean it should be obvious why polyphemus is a threat tbh
In a fascinating twist: ody tries to bargain with Zeus and fails where as here he just says "No get fucked lol" and Athena doesn't even argue.
Your hyperfixations provide such good art 🙏
It also provided me with my own hyperfixation...
I literally just started listening to epic bc wolfy is obsessed with it
I’m so here for it
Wolfys hyperfixation fuels my hyperfixation
the cyclops at the end smiling like "i'm gonna end this man's whole carreer" was so on point😭😭

Seeing Polites' body genuinely made me tear up
ANOTHER ABSOLUTE BANGER OF AN ANIMATIC. I has chills, literal chills. Especially with the eye close up, Polyphemus smiling and Odysseus taking Polites’ headband. But also the transition to Athena was smooth as hell
Odysseus taking Polites’s headband and closing his eyes :(((((

Both pretty plausible explanations, actually.

Wait, You never saw a visual adaptation of the odyssey before? What about the 1997 movie or all the ancient greek art depicting the men stabbing polyphemus In his eye?
@@omarsalem1219
I didn't explain myself, like, I knew how he got stabbed but somehow I didn't connect it in the context of the song, like "when did that happen?" And then "Aaah ofc, how could I forget"
3:12 the irony in this part. he's telling the cyclops to remember them so that the one who died by the cyclops' hand won't die in vain. but in the end, Odysseus telling his name to the cyclops made their sacrifice null as it brought a bigger foe.
Oh boy, an extension of Odysseus’s greatest mistake!!!
This does put into context how grief-driven he was in the moment- like yeah, it was a massive mistake, but also Polites :(((((
Can i get some spoilers please?
@@Ксю24-у9и essentially, Polyphemus (the cyclops) tells his father (Posidon) that Odysseus had blinded him (Odysseus had given Polyphemus his name, Polyphemus could snitch). Considering Odysseus and his men were travelling by sea, it is Very Bad that Posidon is mad at them
@@tumblingartist oh..
Btw thank u:)
In the Odyssey Polyphemus knew by a prophecy that Odysseus would blind him. He just never imagined that the legendary Odysseus would be a small man. Odysseus also gave his name away out of grief and also out of hurt pride when he was called a coward
3:06 Biggest mistake of Odysseus' life.
Bro was thinking he is biggest dog in town
The best part of "Who hurts you" sequence for me is not the fact that there is a who-knows-how-many-more cyclops, but rather the fact then they are MUCH bigger then Polyphemus. Like, one of them has his only EYE almost as big as Polyphemus whole head.
I think even in the original myth it’s suggested they’re bigger too given they mock Polyphemus when he starts saying “nobody hurt me”.
I love when Odysseus says that "I'm the reigning king of Ithaca" it looks like he slits his own throat and in a sense it's exactly what he does 😅 You're so talented and creative :3
