Bruh, when Odysseus tells Telemachus all he'd do for him... he actually did it. He didn't die but went to the underworld, he caught the clouds and storms, twice.
I have a headcanon that Zeus cried when he realized what he did to Athena because she was his favourite, so he technically made the sky cry for telemachus too
Actually, I think he did die. Right before 600 Strike I think is when he fulfilled part of Tiresias' prophecy: "I see you draw your final breath." In the live stream animatic, it even looks like he really does die for a moment.
I love that Odysseus, who had endured so much, has genuine love and joy in his eyes again. I also adore how they're walking and talking, like they're getting to know each other.
firstly, the hug between telemachus and ody will ALWAYS make me tear up. the emotions on their face… i also really like how you introduced athena, and how ody looked younger for a bit during the quick-time dimension. a very bittersweet goodbye
Thanks for noticing (I don't think it is very noticeable that Odysseus was younger at the beggining of that dimension thing)! Mostly did that because his voice turned higher pitch, which sounds like younger him.
This style is so cute! I love your design for Athena! I loved the symbolism where Ody and Athena are talking, when Ody grabs her hand with both of his. Really shows the love that is still held between them.
This is the first ithaca saga animatic I've seen since the livestream, and I must say I love your take on Odysseus with Athena again. The way he smiles at her and holds her hands after she tells him about the world they might be able to have. And, while it won't exist for Odysseus amymore, he truly wants her to go make it happen- vs the official animatic where he's distant from Athena & seems as though his love for her as a friend/mentor isn't there anymore after his quest for Penelope. 10/10 animatic. Love your style :D
Tysm! I watched the livestream animation before animating Athena and Odysseus and I thought that their friendship couldn't be tossed away that easily. Mostly looking from my experiences. Sure, a giant fight happens, but after some time, both sides cool off eventually. Sure, it may never be the same as before if you don't work on it (like these two didn't) and it might be horribly awkward, but I am pretty sure that the two know would still value some of the memories they had of eachother. (I am not saying that the livestream animation is bad, this is simply my personal take on this)
i want to cry, because these days i was crying because my little brother had already gotten so big and im pretty sure odysseus is emotional just like me, hed probably cry to penelope like "W- WHAT DO YOU MEAN HES THIS BIG ALREADY!? ITS JUST 20 YEARS 😭😭😭 WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE IS HIS OWN PERSON? THATS MY BABY BOY STOP BEING MEAN!"
This is so cute! Telemachus practicing in the mirror is adorable, the transition when Ody was holding baby Telemachus to his adult was so smooth omh and the headpats!! Too cute ❤️ Also, Odysseus holding Athena's hands omgg 😭❤️
The swirls transitioning from color to darkness and then manifesting into figures is so incredibly cool! The silhouettes later on are just as impactful and make the storytelling here so strong, also, the droplets becoming a scroll is so beautiful and artistic! I'm saving this one in my EPIC animatic Mega Compilation 🔱 playlist for sure.
0:48 Telemachus practicing in the mirror 2:12 This transition 😭 2:54 How he pats his head like he's the most precious thing in the world 😢 3:07 This 4:24 This whole scene... If I were to list all the moments I loved I would end up writing every second, I loved how you portrayed each scene, I don't know how you did this in such a short time but thank you so much, I love it 😢
Thank you so much, means a lot to me qwq (only animating for 3 days straight is finally worth it xd) For your kind words, I shall give you a fun fact about that transition where Odysseus held a baby Telemachus: I wrapped a toy baby in a cloth and forced my sister to act it out. The baby was dropped multiple times and we as well taped it's eyes shut because it kept opening them when she lifted it up in the air. :)
AHHH 0:28-0:36 MADE ME FEEL SO WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE!! And the way Athena offers her hand out but Odysseus decides to not shake it is EXACTLY what I imagined! I also love how certain parts are more animated like when Odysseus says "son". You did AMAZING. Definitely my favorite I can't help but wonder animation so far.
2:13 THAT TRANSITION IS EVERYTHING OH MY GOD!!! The way you understand animation principles and put them into your work is so breathtaking!! So glad I found this channel!

She's waiting for you
The way you capture emotions is so beautiful, and your character depictions are so cute! I love your take on how Telemachus thinks back on how he’s wondered about Odysseus, and the scene with Athena was so tender! Amazing animatic! ❤❤❤
I honestly thought this was going to be the first song of the Saga or at least before they fought the suitors for a bit. And while this dose work well were it is, the if I have the strength like you would have worked really well because in the Odyssey Telemachus dose manage to string the bow but dosen't shoot it because his father signals for him not to and also it's still to marry his mom which he forgot about. And I find Athena's talking about being kinder and leading him astray and talking of world peace is really interesting because when rome takes the Greek Gods when Athena becomes Minerva she loses the aspect of war become a more tame godess almost like she's been trying to work for peace and isn't seen as a goddess of war anymore.
1. As a person who never read Odyssey (and only knows small snipets of information I know that happened), I thank you for that fact. 2. Also it never occurred to me that Minerva did become more peaceful during Roman times. Despite being a goddess of wisdom and war, I did mostly focus on the wisdom part.
@@Mary_Studiosyes, it does make your point. Also, for us Iliad, Odyssey and Aeneid were completely thrown out of the curriculum, but our teacher made us read only some snippets and learn the most important info about them just for us to have some basic knowledge about it.

Hi there! Thanks! But uh, most likely not. I doubt I shall do anymore of EPIC animations at all honesty. I would probably like to keep this as a small tribute to epic and to satisfy myself that I did animate it at least once

[TELEMACHUS]
All my life, I'd have died to meet you
Thought about your name so much, it hurts
For twenty years, I've dreamt of how I'd greet you
Oh, and now you're here, I can't find the words
All my life, I'd have died to know you
Days and nights I wish that I could show you
For twenty years, I never could outgrow you
Oh, and now you're here
I can't help but wonder what your world must be
If we're like each other, if I have your strength in me
All this time I've wondered if you'd embrace me as your own
Twenty years, I've wandered, for so long I've felt alone
[ODYSSEUS]
Oh, my son, look how much you've grown
Oh, my boy, sweetest joy I've known
Twenty years ago I held you in my arms
How time has flown, oh
Used to say I'd make the storm clouds cry for you
Used to say I'd capture wind and sky for you
Held you in my arms, prepared to die for you
Oh, how time has flown
I can only wonder what your world has been
Things you've had to suffer, and the strength you hold within
All I've ever wanted was to reunite with my own
Twenty years, we've wandered, but today you're not alone
My son, I'm finally home

If that world exists, it's far away from here
It's one I'll have to miss, for it's far beyond my years
