Part 4! Such an interesting, captivating (and unexpected) piece both from musical and narrative perspectives. Early access for this video is already available on my Patreon if you'd like to catch it sooner! Part 5 will be there in the coming days as well :]
Lol, in this story, Odysseus and Polites are genuinely best friends. Odysseus has only one person in his heart, and that's his Queen Penelope.
But Odysseus and Polites have great chemistry.
Yep. And considering how this is Greek mythology and everyone is probably bisexual it wouldnât be too out of character. Especially after listening to your light. Itâs a very nice head cannon and just a fun idea
I love this one
Casper!!! Iâm so glad you and Peter have both decided to jump on the Epic train! Yâall R&Aâs are perfect!!
Would you be interested in doing a collab with Peter and Mortius to react to any of the songs Peter hasn't listened to yet?
dont we all..
We know Casper, we know
@@Fruity_one was going to say the same thingđ
In the musical, theyâre supposed to be childhood best friends, as Odysseus is devoted to his wife Penelope. Though I can see Polites and Odysseus together as a fun headcanon.
The animators get direct inspiration/information from the actual Odyssey story. They do take some artistic liberties here and there ex. the lotus eaters were just humans in the original story. You also made a good connection with Percy Jackson because the lotus casino was also based on this part of the Odyssey story!
Most Greek men tend to be portrayed as at LEAST bi-curious (as Red from OSP puts it- 'with a wife he likes alright and a boyfriend he likes way more'), but part of Odysseus's whole thing is that he's super faithful to his wife (especially in this version), so any romantic interest is just the interpretation of the animator.
Also, Jay specifically says that he gives Odysseus a nylon-string guitar when he's opening up emotionally.
Hey fellow OSP and Epic fan!
I remember when OSP Red was describing Achilles as the epitome of ancient Greek manliness, "with a wife he likes alright and a boyfriend he likes much more." So, it's very possible that he loved Penelope enough to strive this hard to return, and loved Polites as much as well.
04:01 Ahem... well... for a part of Epic fandom Odysseus and Polites are the greek Alexander Hamilton and John Laurence. If you know you know. They're very close buddies. But Ody got his Penelope... who he hasn't seen for 10+ years.... **looks off into distance*
And after that question, reacting to the cut song "Your light" is mandatory
Eurylochus is *definitely* Aaron Burr, right?
*And they were crewmates*
@@officialmortius *Oh my god I can't believe they were crewmates*
I think the thing that stood out to me about this song is you can obviously hear Polites' smile through the singing. He's being so genuine and hopeful to try and get through to Odysseus.
Funny you should mention the Latin beat - Jorge's Puerto Rican
THE LOTUS CASINO FROM PERCY JACKSON IS THE MODERN VERSION OF THE ISLAND OF THE LOTUS EATERS FROM THIS SONG
Odysseus and Polites are more brothers then best friends. That's why they have this close relationship. Polites is more possitive, naiv/blinded wheres Odysseus seems more like the realist.
The Lotus people are cannibals. Jorge intended to give them more childish/alienate-voices to make it clear that they're not "normal" humans. Most fan-animators tend to give them globlin-like creatures.
in the Odyssey, lotus causes people who eat it to be in a state of bliss and never want to leave the island, hence Odysseus stops his men from eating them so they can go home.
They are just really good childhood friends but i get where you come from as i got the same vibes
That being said old greek customs would be if you tossed an apple to someone and they catch it would be a proposal of marriage catching it being a sign of acceptance
I will say you are reading too much into it as Polites is his best friend and he is just trying to comfort Oddyseus
If you ignore the apple bit
If you read Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters, that book is a loose retelling of the Odyssey! So you may continue to recognize the characters as the musical progresses!
The thing about it being like a side quest is actually something i think about a lot of moments on the musical! Like some songs are more transitory to bigger moments. Since Jorge took a lot of inspiration from videogames, i think it's fitting đ
Iâm pretty sure that flash at the end of the song was just the next song with Athena happening, she has the ability to sort of freeze time and have whole conversations and flashbacks in an instant! (Or in this case a song)
I would love a collab between you, Mortius and Casper reacting to at least one song!
Also, please get distracted by the story- this is a musical after all!
If you're familiar with Percy Jackson, you'll recognize a lot of stuff in Epic, because "The Sea of Monsters" had a lot of stuff from _The Odyssey_ in it.
You should definitely give "Your Light" a listen for more of Odysseus and Polities's story. It's a cut song from the musical, but it has an animatic and it is worth listening to. Great reaction and I love your commentary! â€
The "flower creatures" are actually officially part of Epic, they're called Winions, and there are even plushies. The Lotus Eaters on the Island of the Lotus Eaters in Homer's _The Odyssey_ are just people.
Odysseus has a wife that in Epic he will not cheat on. Polites is the life long best friend
Yes! I don't understand why so many people label Ody as gay when his core goal to return to his wife and son. Everyone was upset before full version of There Are Other Ways he might be cheating, yet have no problem shipping him with Polites. Why can't he just have a very close platonic friend?
@@seohyeonchoi2150 oh ya totally what childhood best friend you have that do not seem like siblings and the dynamic would sort of be like that animation
Polites and Odysseus are homies, best friends since childhood
this is why people should react to the audio alone first then the animatics, they can manipulate the way you interpret certain things xD
i hope you continue watching the mircys ones. Their version of Polyphemus is truly horrifying.
I really hoped youd react to this AND Warrior of the mind, because the songs are right after each other.
It's out now
The cute little flower creatures are actually Jorge's idea haha. They're kind of the official mascots of the fandom.
the chimes that you're hearing is actually a kalimba, which jay has mentioned when creating the "Open Arms", i think it's his chosen instrument for Polites đ„°đ
Donât know if someone said this, but itâs really cool that you noticed the guitar showing up when Odysseus is singing because Jorge has said that all the characters are represented by different instruments! Odysseus is various guitars, Polites is marimba and other similar instruments, etc.
I mean...they are pretty cute together. Odysseus be having that chemistry with the bros...especially in some of these animatics. XD
But it's normal when you're very close to someone that is a good friend of yours to have that closeness and kind of chemistry but in a friendly and platonical way, people just somehow tend to see all closeness like romance (or possible romance) for some reason (they always have even in the past), like two guys apparently can not be too close to each other or they are gay and there are romantic feelings involved (which is a lie, great friends even with your own sex with which you are too close to and confortable with exist), the same way that it's seen many times with a boy and a girl, like if they are too close being of opposite sexes they can't be just friends or best friends, they have to have romantic feelings for each other, which also isn't true, a man and a woman that aren't blood related can also be very close to each other and love each other platonically, not all closeness or apparent chemistry between two people is romantical, you can also get very well along with someone and have chemistry with someone independently on whether they are a man or a woman but still be a platonical love, someone you deeply love and care about and you would even put your life at risk to protect them but not in a romantical way, it just seems that people aren't able to wrap their heads around that concept and have always had difficulty with that
Or you know people have different perspectives on things. I mean people are still at odds about whether or not Achilles and patroclus were lovers, even though that appears to be the case. Especially in context. Like I get it some people are uncomfortable with how invested some people can get in other peoples relationships. Which can cross the line of inappropriate, and even harmful. But let's not make people seem crazy for thinking two people with chemistry are possibly more than friends.

While they may be Greek they're not Spartans, Menelaus already went home with Helen đ€Ł
I'm so glad you came back because I was screaming at my screen PETER ITS NOT OVER YET
There are several musical themes to keep an eye out for. One is the danger motive.
You noticed the guitar come in, it came in when Odysseus sand his instrument is the guitar range from acoustic when in a normal mind set to electric when his emotions and rage get the better of him.
So its fun spotting all the instruments.
Love Polites light/happy voice, it's very "sunshine-y." You can _hear_ the smile in his voice!
i am so glad youâre reacting to these songs and animations!!!! One recommendation I have is that in the second saga, you watch mircsyâs animatics for âpolyphemusâ, âsurviveâ, and ESPECIALLY theirs for âmy goodbyeâ. it is amazing!
Polites is Odysseus's best friend since childhood.
Great R&A, as always! SO much to learn on these videos!
Mason edits your videos too? Good gods, he's got a lot of work.
I would say Polities is Odysseus third most important person for him after Penelope and Telemachus of course (his wife and son) but it safe to say that they are really close and i won't be surprised if Odysseus preferred man, Polities might be his partner after allđđđ but in this story they're just homies frr.
They're best friends!
The Odyssey is the sequel to the Illiad. It's the travel journal of Odyseus' road trip home. The entire story is that Odyseus keeps getting pushed to side quests instead of getting home. Lotus Eaters are the ancient version of addicts on hallucinogens.
To learn more about polites and Odysseus i'd say listen to your light!
In the musical, Odysseus, Polites, and Eurylochus are just best friends and have been since they were kids. đ
i think polites and odysseus have a lot of chemistry and in another life they might have been more than friends, but odysseus only has eyes for penelope :)
Also, the little critters are called Winions!!
In this song, they're Lotus Eaters. The Winions are later
Hey not sure if you know this the lotus eaters are called winions! They show up on other parts of epic as well and are little tricksters. The lotus eaters arenât really the same as the winions in the other song theyâre in, but jay calls them all winions so itâs good enough for me. In the orginal odyssey the lotus eaters where just some high dudes, so these guys are completely Jorgeâs. There basically epics mascot and epic fans often refer to themselves as winions, so If you see people say that, it just means epic fan.
Hey man, itâs Ancient Greece. Itâs not cheating if itâs with your bro.
I love your reaction to the jarring shift in the middle đđ€©đ„ł
seeing someone else recognise the insane romantic implications of this song is amazing
Oh hey a Casper and Mortius mention, very cool.
Awesome. Hubby and I always enjoy your analysis. â€
I reckon youâre gonna love Warrior of the Mind.
While they are just friends, best friends, even... Odysseus and Polities have clear romantic chemestry. There might have been feelings between then, but in the end, there is only one person for Odysseus, which is Penelope. My take is, as said, They might have had mutual feelings for eachother at one point, but Odysseus' love was won by Penelope rather than Polities. You can be with a person and fall inlove with another, and still remain with the one you're with. It's possible, and not that uncommon.
They are not in love lol
Please analyze Erik Grönwall singing âI will always love youâ
its partly fan shipping and also they're greek sooooo
The only reason I don't learn anything from your videos is because I have absolutely zero musical experience (or ability, tbh) so all of those terms go right over my head. Even the chords. đ Also, I have a TBI, so learning is not as easy as it used to be.
I love CZcams's autocaptions. They're hilariously stupid and wrong. đ€Ł
â€
And they were greek
Interesting đ§đ€
Yeah, any Odysseus/Polites stuff is really fandom doing what fandom does. Odysseus is WHOLEHEARTEDLY devoted to Penelope, so much so thatâŠwellâŠyouâll find out.
And the fan artistsâ habit of transplanting the voice actorsâ appearances onto the charactersâ designs will never not bother me in this particular case. Their habit of giving Polites glasses just because the actor has them when glasses wouldnât be invented for over two millennia drives my OCD tendencies just a little bit nuts.
And they were roomates
Jokes aside they're just friends
I hope you watch other Animations. This one is my least favorite for this song. Its good, but not the best imo. I DO, however, love the way this one ties into the next video really well. But other than that, i usually avoid this one.
As someone who hates pop music, I reflexively take offense when you say certain things sound like pop music. Pop music is so generic. đ€Ł I know what you mean, but when I compare something to pop music, it's an insult. đ
They childhood friends, fought together for like 10+years and are greek. Should say enough... plus the apple throw & catch greek tradition.
I actually hate this interpretation of the lotus eaters, because they're just meant to be humans
If you read Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters, that book is a loose retelling of the Odyssey! So you may continue to recognize the characters as the musical progresses!
