So, the song for this animation comes from a project currently being made by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, called Epic: The Musical. It’s a musical based on the story of the Odyssey. He’s got 20 songs out for it currently, with another five coming out on the 4th.
24 songs to be specific, with another full 25 on the way; 6 sagas for the first act with 5 troy saga, 4 for the cyclopes, ocean, and circe saga, and 3 for the underworld. 5 sagas of 5 songs for the second act as well
@@MesoJoe act 1 and 2 both consist of 20 songs. Act 1 with 5 sagas (the ones you mentioned with the amount of songs you said, which adds up to 20 not 24) and act 2 with 4 sagas with 5 songs each.
@@mochiandturtles5642That’s what I always wondered. Would it have even saved him? Or his men? I think if it would’ve mattered, I suspect it’s because the point was that mercy is something Odysseus cannot afford to give but Poseidon can. He views Odysseus’s crime as one of hubris and he’s less angry about the violence against his son than he is that Odysseus would be so prideful as to leave Polyphemus alive as if he wasn’t a threat. But also I kinda suspect Odysseus is boned here regardless, lol.
@@mochiandturtles5642 It doesn't. Poseidon didn't kill his men because he was unsatisfied with Odysseus's apology. He did it to drill in the message he had been singing about. The line right after shows this well. "the line between naivete and hopefulness is almost invisible". Odysseus is naïve to think that Poseidon would give him mercy after singing an entire song about how mercy is wrong. There's no chance in hell that Poseidon was ever going to let him go. In fact, I think Ody would've had a better (though still minuscule) chance of making it out safely if he refused to apologize. At least then Poseidon would see his lesson set in.
Just a small correction: This isn't an adaption of the Iliad which concerns the Trojan War. This is an adaption of the Odyssey which is the other epic poem by Homer which concerns Odysseus' journey back home from the Trojan War. In actual poem this encounter never happens as Poseidon and Odysseus never come face-to-face and it was Laestrygonians, a tribe of man-eating giants, that ate most of Odysseus' men and destroyed all but one of the ships.
GIGI FOLLOWS YOU!?!?!?!?! Bro you've got a celeberty from the Epic fandom following you. So this is a fan animatic from a musical currently in the works by a man named Jorge "Jay" Rivera-Herrans, who is turning the greek epic poem, The Odessey, into a stage musical. The first song is from, The Troy Saga, called The Horse and the Infant, which Gigi has also made an animatic for. HIGHLY recommend this Musical.
Oh brother, I cannot wait to see you dive into the rest of the Epic series, especially in order. Stargal dragged me into watching it and I’ve been hooked in listening to it since. So good.
If you want to see the whole musical, here's a list of every song in order: *The Troy Saga* The Horse and the Infant Just a Man (which you may realise had motifs come back in this song) Full Speed Ahead Open Arms Warrior of the Mind *The Cyclops Saga* Polyphemus Survive Remember Them My Goodbye *The Ocean Saga* Storm Luck Runs Out Keep Your Friends Close Ruthlessness (if you watch it again, this time around you could check out AnniFlamma's animatic) *The Circe Saga* Puppeteer Wouldn't You Like Done For There are Other Ways *The Underworld Saga* The Underworld No Longer You Monster And then the next saga, The Thunder Saga, comes out in two days.
@@questworldiangreenknight7455Personally I love it. It's basically the Trauma Saga all over again, all the songs are great and the end of Thunder Bringer, especially coupled with the visuals Jorge had done for it...hoo boy another song I'll probably cry during every time I listen to it.
ONE OF US!! ONE OF US!!! Welcome to the EPIC fan base. You are now a Winion. As many have pointed out, and as you yourself mentioned, this is a musical based on the Odyssey focusing on the idea of how good men must do terrible things to protect what they love. You should start at the Troy Saga, which begins with The Horse and the Infant. Trust me: you will be hooked.
Poseidon's singer is Steven Rodriguez. I discovered him through this song, and his voice just scratches the itch in my brain SO well. Best song in Epic, imo. There's something about that gravely belting that gives me shivers. If you liked it as much as me, I'd recommend checking out his music, too. His song Shackles is really good, too.
Welcome to your first exposure to EPIC: the Musical. We have cookies! ^^ We would love to see you react to the entire musical. Every single song is a banger and the animatics are by various fan artists, but are all really impressive! Just make sure you get the songs in order.
I’m so happy you love this because there is so much more! You actually jumped in around the middle of act 1 of Epic the Musical. So you don’t have to go searching I have created a playlist on my channel that has all the songs/animations in order. The ones I put in the playlist are my personal favorites/recommendations. Quite a few of them are Gigi. Her animations are so amazing! This musical is still being created. It’s broken up into nine sagas. Five in act 1 and four in act 2. All of act 1 is out with animations for all the songs done. The first saga of act 2 is dropping on the fourth. Though it will take a bit for people to make animations for the new songs. The first saga (the Troy Saga) is the first five songs in the playlist. I really hope you start at the beginning and go through this truly Epic journey!
I cannot stress how much you need to see the full series of songs from Epic The Musical. Trust that you should find the order and listen to them. Theres are animatics for pretty much all of them, but 5 more new songs JUST DROPPED last night for the Thunder Saga. You will love every song in it, Trust.
Ooh boy. You've got plenty of animatics/music for this series ahead of you. The first song starts from inside the Trojan Horse, and it is basically a musical of the greek myth from that point on. The Horse and the Infant is song one
Ruthlessness was my first introduction to Epic the Musical too. There is just something so fucking powerful in this man's raspy but somehow kind of smooth voice? It's such a unique voice and I love it.
Watching the sagas in order is so good they JUST RELEASED the other day and it was so so good! All the animators in the community are so talented & it’s awesome seeing what they came up with and envisioned simply by hearing the songs. It’s simply *chefs kiss*
I definitely recommend starting from the beginning. Ive seen alot of youtubers picking solo songs up through reccomendation, but man the adventure your right on the edge of could be amazing
So in case you weren't aware, animations that comprise of sketches like this are called animatics. They can either be meant as a rough storyboard for a more fleshed out animation, or in the cases with a lot of animatics (and for all of the ones for Epic) they're the finished animation. Also yes, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of checking out the whole musical. Someone else already dropped a list of the songs in the correct order, so you can go from there. The next Saga in the musical was just released last night, so aside from some art and short animatics that went with the livestream Jorge held last night, those five songs don't have full animatics yet. If you do decide to start this, keep in mind Jorge and the team remastered the first two Sagas (Troy and Cyclops), so they're of the same quality and such as the third (Ocean) and on to the current, Thunder. Those remastered versions don't have animatics yet either, but you can still listen to them if you'd want to. The playlists of both the original releases and the new ones for those first two Sagas are up on the Jorge's channel. And finally, I'd suggest checking out a video posted by 4W Element Ender for the Thunder Saga. They clipped that portion from Jorge's livestream, and it contains short animatics that help explain what's going on at certain points during each song.
your welcome epic the musical is made by Jorge Rivera, Gigi just did used the song from the musical and created a visual animatic epic the musical also does a a lot of changes from the mythology as well if you see more this stuff
I'd really recommend watching (or better yet, reacting!) to the entire series with animatics - it's very good. The next saga releases in just a few days (not to mention all the original songs have been redone due to issues with the original studio screwing over the creator).
I already posted a full playlist for Act One, ordered with labels for sagas and time estimates for each saga, if he wants to do full sagas in each reaction. I recommended it on the discord and have re-posted the recommend after seeing he did this video
It’s a whole sequence. If you want to listen to the musical in order look for the Troy Saga (which there’s a second album for, remastered versions of the same songs), followed by the Cyclops Saga (also has a second album with remastered versions of the same songs), then the Ocean Saga, then the Circe Saga, and the Underworld saga to end act 1. The Thunder Saga is the most recent album and starts act 2. With 3 more albums yet ti be released to get to the end of the musical
The next five songs for this musical actually just dropped tonight! If you get into this series, you'll have over 20 songs to listen to so far and many more coming in the future!
I am ashamed of myself for letting this go for so long, I feel like I just found a new favorite musical and I hope that we get a full one of this because this music is freaking awesome
I don't know if anyone else has said this yet, but the entirety of Epic: The Musical is also on Spotify if you want to listen to it. Truly my favorite musical of all time, it's awesome!
Epic the musical is great. I’d recommend starting from the beginning with: the horse and the infant.I recommend Gigi sand wolfythewitch for most of them. Just make sure you pick the animatics that cover the full son, since some only cover parts.
If you continue with epic the musical i recommend you watch Anniflama's ruthlessness when you get to the ocean saga, its _reaaaly_ good as well and her animation of posideon's final attack/drowning of the men is CHILLING
Just wait! It gets better. Gigi is just an animator who made an animatic for Jorge Rivera-Herran's concept musical EPIC, which is loosely based on the Odyssey. Jorge wrote the entire musical, as well as sings for Odysseus. If you want a playlist of the musical and animatics in order, I made one you can watch! ua-cam.com/play/PLjaNJHXk-DKfRNTRwPDW5BZiOP3_6OSoV.html&si=efAbVpWxJER84F0G
This is the BEST musical ever. If you did reactions to wach saga you'd have the absolute best community of fans coming to watch. I absolutely love watching people react to EPIC. Could you react to the very first song called 'The horse and the infant?
This is from a musical based the Odyssey made by Jorge Rivera Herrans they haven't finished but it's a great work in progress if you want to watch the animatics for the musical i would recommend gigi, aniflama and wolfie they have grat animations for Epic the musical up til now it has 6 sagas Troy saga, Cyclops saga, Ocean saga, Circe saga, Underworld saga, Thunder saga
Please start from the beginning and go thru the whole thing! The lyricism is brilliant how motifs reoccur and build upon one another and all the vocalists are top notch.
1:42 excellent reaction, Ruthlessness has such a banger opening, lol I'm surprised you were recommended Gigi's animatic & not Anniflama's. Both are great, but i feel like Anniflama's is a perfect choice for someone who has ZERO context on what they're about to watch/get into While Gigi includes a bunch of references to characters/plot-points that'll be misses by someone without context/knowlege of the previous songs
You still haven't heard any music from the Iliad, Epic is from the Odyssey. There's a lot of things mentioned in this song that tie back to previous songs, so it makes more sense if you've heard the whole series but your knowledge of the series filled in the important gaps.

Odysseus: I’m sorry you think you’re owed an apology
Poseidon: you little shit.
This is the funniest and most accurate depiction of Odysseus’ apologies lmao
Then again, if ruthlessness is mercy, does the apology even matter?
@@mochiandturtles5642That’s what I always wondered. Would it have even saved him? Or his men?
I think if it would’ve mattered, I suspect it’s because the point was that mercy is something Odysseus cannot afford to give but Poseidon can. He views Odysseus’s crime as one of hubris and he’s less angry about the violence against his son than he is that Odysseus would be so prideful as to leave Polyphemus alive as if he wasn’t a threat.
But also I kinda suspect Odysseus is boned here regardless, lol.
@@mochiandturtles5642 It doesn't. Poseidon didn't kill his men because he was unsatisfied with Odysseus's apology. He did it to drill in the message he had been singing about. The line right after shows this well. "the line between naivete and hopefulness is almost invisible". Odysseus is naïve to think that Poseidon would give him mercy after singing an entire song about how mercy is wrong. There's no chance in hell that Poseidon was ever going to let him go. In fact, I think Ody would've had a better (though still minuscule) chance of making it out safely if he refused to apologize. At least then Poseidon would see his lesson set in.

*or movie
He’s actually considering doing a movie adaptation right now!
@@TheTuneShifter Animated movie would go so hard cause he can push the anime/video game angle so much further.
@@rainestar6781 Ooh, imagine Epic as the first (to my knowledge) musical anime movie or anime show. That would go so hard!
Oh brother, I cannot wait to see you dive into the rest of the Epic series, especially in order. Stargal dragged me into watching it and I’ve been hooked in listening to it since. So good.
If you want to see the whole musical, here's a list of every song in order:
*The Troy Saga*
The Horse and the Infant
Just a Man (which you may realise had motifs come back in this song)
Full Speed Ahead
Open Arms
Warrior of the Mind
*The Cyclops Saga*
Polyphemus
Survive

*The Ocean Saga*
Storm
Luck Runs Out
Keep Your Friends Close
Ruthlessness (if you watch it again, this time around you could check out AnniFlamma's animatic)
*The Circe Saga*
Puppeteer
Wouldn't You Like
Done For
There are Other Ways
*The Underworld Saga*
The Underworld
No Longer You
Monster
And then the next saga, The Thunder Saga, comes out in two days.
And now the Thunder Saga >:D
How’d you enjoy the Thunder Saga? I was curious lol 😂
@@questworldiangreenknight7455 I thought it was kinda meh. I liked how Mutiny called back to Luck Runs Out.

WATCH THAT PLAYLIST IN THE END OF THE VIDEO!!!!
Please start from the beginning and go thru the whole thing! The lyricism is brilliant how motifs reoccur and build upon one another and all the vocalists are top notch.
Please watch "Epic: The Musical" from the beginning. It is insane. Incredible project and incredible animatics mage for it.
im sure others have said it, but this is the odyssey not the iliad. the iliad mainly follows achilles and the trojan war
100% Please do more Epic. Please!!
1:42 excellent reaction, Ruthlessness has such a banger opening, lol
I'm surprised you were recommended Gigi's animatic & not Anniflama's. Both are great, but i feel like Anniflama's is a perfect choice for someone who has ZERO context on what they're about to watch/get into
While Gigi includes a bunch of references to characters/plot-points that'll be misses by someone without context/knowlege of the previous songs
There is another animation on this song that's Even better
You should really react to the whole musical so far it's really good.
You should totally gove the whole released saga a chance its great
Bit of an odd start to begin with, but my favorite song by far. Hope you get into the rest of the series!
Watch more epic the musical
if you decide to re listen to this song, AnnaFlamme (?) is the other animation that is recommended to watch.
He is singing about fk ODYSSEUS how did you tought that was the iliad?
You need to react to the first song then continue in series in sequence
You need to react to the entire musical its by Jorge Rivera-Herrans
PLEASE REACT to the whole music. PRETTY PLEASE🙏
It's not from the Iliad but from the Odyssey...
Please continue this but stary from the troy saga and due tjem in order
Please react to the version and thunderbringer made by Tamatama is breathtaking
Epic the musical journey when?
Please react to all of Epic the musical
You still haven't heard any music from the Iliad, Epic is from the Odyssey. There's a lot of things mentioned in this song that tie back to previous songs, so it makes more sense if you've heard the whole series but your knowledge of the series filled in the important gaps.
Please react to stellaris Invicta by the templin institute
this musical is an adaption of the odyssey, not the illiad :)
Awesome :D
Winions assemble
Please take this whole Epic journey in order 🥹❤️
