"Tell me though, who's Annabeth?"

YES. There’s no need to check, the gods of Greek mythology are 100% immortal

Fr ☠️☠️

Not in epic though. In epic she made advances but she didn’t force anything because in god games Athena specifies to Hera that “never once has he cheated on in his wife.”

but it could have happened, bc does it count as cheating if he had no say in the matter? @@summersunsets9556

@@summersunsets9556 You could argue that it isn’t cheating if it’s non consensual

@@IRllyLikeDeathSitter well hera doesn't care does she you know she hates all of zeus' bastards (i call them bastards not in a disrespectful term i myself am a bastard but because i dont know how to otherwise describe it)

*ancient greek standards. One of Achilles and Patroclus's bonding moments involved them banging a bunch of slaves

She *raped* him.

Well I wouldn't say an old man lol- I feel like he'd be maybe in his 40s by this point... though that's pretty old for ancient times, plus 10 years of war and 10 more years of being lost at sea probably weighed on him a lot, making him look a lot older than he actually was

Same

I apologize for the person I became the second I heard it was a thing

Yeah, in the odyssey he pretty much is being SA’ed by calypso for 7 straight years. Like, he’s spending his days sobbing by the ocean and his nights in her bed where he does NOT want to be. She’s a goddess, she’s powerful, and she’s not letting him leave. I feel like it’s an aspect of his story that too often goes unremarked upon, or made light of. This song comes off as appropriately creepy, the animatic does a good job of showing that

LITERALLY HE NEVER WILLINGLY CHEATED ON PENELOPE

@@geneticdriftwood Yeah, she fully just kissed him without consent at the end there

@@fictional-girl_05 i mean depends on the definition of cheating, Odysseus did take Trojan women as sx sIaves after the war and he already had many such sIaves in Ithaca. But the Circe thing was definitely consensual, its never told to us in the text that it wasnt, thats just people reading what they want into it. His experience with Circe was meant to be a warning to readers about the dangers of comfort and gluttony, now that lesson wouldnt make sense if he had no choice right? Besides, Circe lets him go when he says he wants to go. He most probably consented to everything with Circe in the original story

@@fictional-girl_05thats just not true though. He had sx sIaves and he took even more from troy, and nothing in the actual odessey indicates he didnt consent to Circe. When he told circe he wanted to leave she let him. The whole point of the circe incident in the og myth was to teach the reader and odysseus a lesson about the dangers of over indulgence. Odysseus fully consented to staying with circe and enjoying her bed, and this was a choice that cost him a full year away from his home.

And the animatics!

@@AuDHD_Teen THERE AMAZING!!

Real

I love her face at 1:08, "But fear not, I'll bring no pain"

@@user-dd1bn2cu6k Omgggg

The design is based off of the actress for her

Doesn't he sleep with her every other night after he washes up on her island?

Both of them are deities! Both descended from Titans and HUGELY magically powerful and he’s a mortal man, basically he got dated ***** TWICE! Once for 1 year and the second time of 7! Think of the context, his whole reason to keep going and surviving was his wife and son, he didn’t want to do it! Coercion, plain and simple

​@@fanofallthings7099 there's another one he had a kid with and this was cursed by Aphrodite to smell bad so I don't think this one can be counted, he just cheated

He was mind controlled and forced to sleep with both of them. Did you even listen to the goddamn song? Calypso was forcing him to be with her.

@@CherriesAreGreatILoveThem In the musical, (and myth?) he doesn't really sleep with calipso, that I remember, she tries to seduce him to stay and be her husband but he is like no I just wanna go home. Check clalipso second song

OK captain

You fucked with the god of the sea. He's simply returning the favor.

When your life says fuck you in both meanings of the word

@@infernox4664 honestly. I hate it when the greek gods do that🙄

​@@Cbell14- me to

Mm... sure. Let's say "or".

He was stuck their and Hermes convinced calypso to let go of oddsseyes

Calypso forced him to be there, I think. About Circe, maybe that was more of a deliberate choice to engage in such a relationship so that is a no no. But I think he was also pushed to please her based on the power she held over them and the fact she had turned his buds into pigs? I’m not sure about that whole thing. But yeah! Dude wasn’t as faithful as he should have been, meanwhile his wife was doing her best to push away all those suitors who could have not so hardly crossed the final line at any moment and assaulted her. Poor Penelope.

@@matilde_5 fr but imo bro did not even try to fight circe so like?? L penelope is a queen stan penelope thes literally the best strongest amazing terrific iconic legend

You and others really need to yeet the 2023 glasses when it comes to these stories. The Iliad, The Odyssey, and any Regency/Victorian Era story. Their definition of cheating was FAR different than our definition. Men could have as many lovers as they wanted, as long as they returned to their wives at the end of the day. Yes, now even just unintentional flirting could be considered "cheating," but back then? Nah fam.

He literally had no choice.

Huh?

How

No

😂😂😂

Why? Because He got replaced by a bunch of other gods now, apparently? /j

I think it's just something that gets used a lot because it's a convenient exposition device.
