i love this scene. Odysseus doesn't know his son, doesn't know if he grew up to be a good man, but with just one look, one glance: he loves him. he didn't even talk to him and he already loves him. and when he does talk to him and sees a good boy, he loves him even more. beautiful scene. father's love is often underappreciated and it reminds me of how much my dad loves me and accepts me for who I am, no matter who I become
It was enough to make me emotional because I can relate to your sentiment too. It reminds me of how much my dad loves me too and i always thought he was the greatest man for that because no matter what i've done, good or bad he still loves me.
“My son I’m finally home!” That is Odysseus greatest victory. Not the war, not the suitors, getting home to his family was all he truly wanted and this is his victory cry. Also “the strength you hold within” reflecting Telemachus doubt that he can live up to his father THEN ODY ASSURING HOM THAT HE SEES HIS SONS STRENGTH AHHHHHHH
Telemachus doesn’t see it, but it took a lot of strength to live in the environment that he was in with all those suitors. He stayed alive, and probably gave strength to his mother as well.
This is very true in the Illiad Homer announced that Odysseus pretended he was a mad man to not join the war and see his son grow, BUT Agamemnon threaten to kill Telemachus if he didn’t join.
I love that Odysseus is sitting, that he's so overwhelmed with absolute relief at being home that his legs just folded and he had to sit. And Telemachus looks so much like young!Odysseus!
"I can only wonder what your world has been, things you've had to suffer, and the strength you hold within". This. This is the line that broke me. I lost my grandfather at a young age, and I'm an adult now. I...wonder if he would ever recognize me now as Odysseus recognized his son
same...... My grandfather left me due to cancer of the pancreas when i was 18 years old.. that was a tumultuous time for me, I've just finished high school, I don't know what path i should take, what profession i should strive towards.... Back then I was pretty much an introvert, I hardly talk to anyone, didn't really have someone I could call a best friend. He suggested me to become an IT technician. Times pass, there was a scholarship offering me a position/education to become a Registered Nurse, I took the offer, and have been working in the OR as an anesthetic assistant for more than 5 years... I wonder what he would say to me if he sees me......
@@jchea1764 to both you and op, I'm sure your grandfathers would definitely still be filled with pride and love for the people you are now and whoever you'll be
And the fact that it speaks to them both... Telemachus could never know of what his father has been through and what he's had to do just to return home. And Odysseus could mever know of all the years he had missed out on with his son. He missed all the little milestones and all the big achievements his son has earned. Things he should have taught him and prepared him for. He missed it all. But they're both strong for enduring so long and now it's finally come to this. Odysseus has finally returned home.
The fact that a part of Odysseus died on his journey back, but the lovely thing about this scene is that a part of his old self came back when he finally got to have his son in his arms again.
Idk where my copy of the Odyssey is so I can't quote verbatim, but I remember reading that when Odysseus and Telemachus met, they were so excited they greeted each other with the screeching of eagles or smth.
“Telemachus hurled his arms round his father, and he wept. They both felt deep desire for lamentation, and wailed with cries as shrill as birds, like eagles or vultures, when hunters have deprived them of fledglings who have not yet learned to fly. That was how bottlers they wept.” - The Odyssey (XVI 214-220), trans. Emily Wilson (2018) 🤍
"I can only wonder what your world has been, things you've had to suffer, and the strength you hold within"' This one hurts a lot (in both a good and horrible way) knowing how telemachus talks about himself in legendary and to athena
It's such a lovely sentiment coming from Ody too. Obviously he's going to comfort his son because of being absent and what he's dealt with with the suitors. But the trauma and hardships Ody faced in those 20 years mean nothing to him now, to him the journey was worth every life and awful moment if it meant getting here. Right now he sees his son, and wants him to know that everything will be okay now that he's home.
Seeing your dad return after twenty long years not knowing if he's dead or alive truly must be an unspeakable relief. As someone who has lost their father at a young age I can relate to this song a bit. What a relief it would be to be held by my father again. A miraculous depiction of feeling, throughout song (shout out to Jay) and ofc thru visual depiction by you!! Great aninatic! ❤
I could relate to that as well. My dad passed away when I was 13 (2005) and every day, every hour, every minute all I want is him to embrace me and wipe away my tears. I want to hear his voice tell me it will be ok. I want him to give me away to my future husband when the time comes. I wanted him at my graduation and to see me in my prom dress for prom. To threaten any boy I dated to say basic dad things like: you hurt my daughter and you'll be sorry. I just want him. So when it is my turn to join him in heaven. After I pass into paradise as promised to those who believe first I will in person thank the Lord for being there for me, second find my home in paradise. Next I will find my dad and when I do I will hug him so tight and tell him I am home and it's so so so so good to see him and be with him again. Tell him just how much I've missed him. And say the words I have held back since the day he died. (Jan. 1, 2005 @ 1 am.) Happy New Year. Love you daddy. Then I will hug him more.
I like how this really shows how tired, happy, and relieved Odysseus is when he saw his son has grown into a kind man despite being far away from him for 20 years... And when he said "used to said I'd capture wind and sky for you." It remind me that he indeed has catch wind, even storm just for him to get home... Even sky if you consider that he use a rope or something to catch that island so he can meet the Wind God.... Now if only someone doesn't open the bag when they almost get home 10 years earlier....
It’s actually one of my favorite moments of the Odyssey, that even after being 20 years apart- both father and son could feel that one connect just by looking at each other. At least that’s how I read it.
That hug was amazing. I remember hugging my dad like that every time he returned from a work trip for more than a week TwT That hug held 20 years worth of emotions. I'm crying
I swear i cannot stop crying, i just saw the whole series and it made me look at this whole story on a different perspective, what odysseus had to suffer, the choice he had to made, the lives he had to take, everything lead to this moment, when he can finally say “i’m home” and hold is beloved son, just know u made a grown man cry
I will never truly explain it, because I don't even fully get it, but anything with a father expressing how much he loves and cares for his child ALWAYS makes me wanna sob
as a usually heartless person when it comes to movies or songs, this song actually made me tear up. You can really hear how odysseus is trying to hold back tears and that really got to me
Lyrics [by ear] 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-o... 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, ooh 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!
I’m already sobbing, the fully produced song of this is going do me in - Merry Christmas, I’m a ghost now. God this Odysseus is SO BEAUTIFUL and haunting (and haunted)
Odysseus got rid of the son of Hector...to be with his own son... Their something so monstrous...but so human about that. I have a hard time reconciling that fact...
He would be a bad father if he would rather lose his own son than a stranger. It is awful thing but very loving and human at the same time. You have to love someone greatly to be able to do that and i relate to it a lot. Creators of The Last of Us talked about how they would literally ruin the world for their loved ones as well
My sister and I always talk about how Odysseus should've just taken the baby with him, because there's no way an infant would've survived that voyage but Odysseus wouldn't have personally murdered him, win win!
@Katie-bz4ls I could never do that. Revenge sure I understand that. But premeditated "unaliving" just because of a possible future? No... Besides Telimicus would have been 10 so he's offing an infant to potentially save his family from Hector's sons wrath that would take years to unfurl. Then again I'm a modern man with modern sensibilities...it was a different time back then maybe I would have been crueler...
"I can only wonder what your world has been. Things you had to suffer and the strength you hold within" is what we all need to hear at some point in our lives. Man, I'm literally crying as if I could relate to an old man reuniting with his son after twenty years but in reality I just hate my dad XD
I did not cry while watching any other animation, I held myself at all the "Im just a man" animations, but this broke me- The way the animations rough but detailed at the same time, is absolutely fitting, atleast in my opinion, because this scene is not about perfect graphic, it's about what joy looks like, which we all have a different understanding of
When I tell you I was about to go to bed and then saw this in my notifications, watched it, and at the end where Odysseus hugs his son felt such warmth in me, I am not kidding. Truly a masterpiece, even if it is a ruff animatic! Wonderfull!
Me bawling my eyes out, hoping my dad's like this. He left me when I was born, met him when I was thirteen and left me again. I just hope that someday, he'll come back. He'll come back to teach me, and watch me grow. He'll come back to know me.
This is so sweet and amazing! Everything is timed so perfectly with the music and the expressions are perfect!! And the hug moment is just absolute PURE JOY!!! Also, the fact that you did this in a few hours is just amazing
Usually, I would find you rude for making me cry on a Wednesday afternoon. For this? I will make an exception (HIM HOLDING TELEMACHUS’ FACE?? THE JOY ON BOTH OF THEIR FACES WHEN HE SAIS HE’S HOME???? Immaculate)
GOSH THIS WAS UPLAODED A YEAR AGO AND I'M JUST NOW SEEING IT I am gonna ball my eyes out so much when this song drops in ithaca saga drops YOU DON'T KNOW HOW BADLY I WANT AN ODY AND TELEMACHUS REUNATING SCENE
This is so sweet and tender omg… like it perfectly encapsulates all the love Ody has for his family, though he hasn’t seen them in a lifetime. It’s beautiful and you did very good!
AAAAAAAAAAAA WOLFY!!!!!!!! This is Amazing, the hesitance to begin with, leading into tears and joy, the softness of Ody’s expressions despite the ware on his face! His body language and the ending hug!!!!! WELL DONE WOLFY!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS INCREDIBLE ART!
I like how in the end, after everything he faced and everyday he longed to go home, he finally got home to his son and wife. And they live happily ever after :D (I'm jusy gonna ignore the Telegony for my denial)
Every time I watch this I think "ok. no crying this time. dry as a bone, c'mon" and then I watch it again and there go the tears. beautiful music and wonderful emotive animation
"used to say I'd make the storm cloud cry for you" he made poseidon's storm 'cry' "used to say I'd catch the wind and sky for you" the wind bag and this isn't much, but the way Telemachus jumps into Odysseus' arms letting his legs off the ground shows just how much Telemachus trusts his father even though this is basically his first time meeting odysseus
this song snippet makes me cry every time i hear it. i don't know why. Maybe it's the emotion in jay's voice, idk, but what i do know is that when i hear it from the official saga, I'll be a sobbing mess on the floor. this was an amazing video and animatic! you did wonderfully as always!
Vengeance saga just came out a few days ago and I’ve been loving both your official and unofficial animatics but man oh man is this going to sting when we get to this last saga.
EXPLODING SOBBING CRYING SCREAMING ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR I LITERALLY SOBBED WHILE WATCHING THIS AND THEN NOW I SHOWED IT TO MY LITTLE BROTHER AND WE LITERALLY CRIED TOGETHER TEARS WERE SHED WHEN WE GET THIS FULL SONG IT IS GOING TO DESTROY ME I MAY NOT SURVIVE AND THIS ANIMATIC IS SO GOOD THEIR FACES THE EXPRESSIONS THE MOVEMENTS AND BODY LANGUAGE IM LITERALLY GOING INSANE
I love this so much it genuinely brings me to tears. The imagery combined with the lines. The teary in the eyes, the way Odysseus holds his son's face, just so much emotion. It hurts to hear him talk about the "strength you hold within" in comparison to Telemachus speaking of how he wishes he were strong.
Wolfy, I hope you know that your animatics and fanart have single-handedly inspired me to listen to Epic: The Musical and finally crack open my gigantic copy of the Iliad and the Odyssey instead of finishing The Last Olympian first like I planned.
This is so extremely beautiful! Both of them absoloudly don't know each other, but missed each other so badly all the time. And I just love how Odysseus not only acknoleges, that Telemachus must have suffered, but 100% focuses on it. Not once does he say stuff like "I suffered so much to get home", but instead "You are strong, I want to know about your life, I want to get to know you and be there for you". He totally focuses on his son and forgets about anything else and this is beautiful!!!!
Jorge has managed to take a very emotional scene in the original poem and turn the emotions up to eleven and this animatic made it hit even harder. The full version of this song is probably going to destroy me 😅

I'm sorry for your losses. I wish you the best
I love how Epic artists kinda collectively decided that Telemachus looks like a young Odysseus. Never fails to warm my heart

So sweet to see a story where a son who never knew his father, is a grown man yet still accepts his father.

HOW DID YOU MAKE AN ANIMATIC THAT FAST, DIDNT BRO RELEASE THIS WIP TODAY???

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-o...
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, ooh 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!

"used to say I'd catch the wind and sky for you"

Vengeance saga just came out a few days ago and I’ve been loving both your official and unofficial animatics but man oh man is this going to sting when we get to this last saga.
It’s the last saga if I’m not mistaken. We might get it next year at some point.
THE CREATOR OF THE MUSICAL SAW THIS ANIMATION AND POSTED A VIDEO ABOUT HIS REACTION...HE LOVED IT ❤....
OMG WHERE I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE! 🥹😭
I would also like to know where :D
EXPLODING SOBBING CRYING SCREAMING ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR I LITERALLY SOBBED WHILE WATCHING THIS AND THEN NOW I SHOWED IT TO MY LITTLE BROTHER AND WE LITERALLY CRIED TOGETHER TEARS WERE SHED WHEN WE GET THIS FULL SONG IT IS GOING TO DESTROY ME I MAY NOT SURVIVE AND THIS ANIMATIC IS SO GOOD THEIR FACES THE EXPRESSIONS THE MOVEMENTS AND BODY LANGUAGE IM LITERALLY GOING INSANE
It's enough to make a grown man cry, and that's okay
BAWLING MY EYES OUT RN YOU ANIMATED THIS SO WELL
WHAT THE SNIPPET JUST CAME OUT A FEW HOURS AGO
the devil works hard but i work harder
*Alternative Title: Oldysseus meets Newdysseus*
Imagine being gone for 20 years. Bro the trojan war was tough
watching this 10000x over I LOVE ITTTT
I love this so much it genuinely brings me to tears. The imagery combined with the lines. The teary in the eyes, the way Odysseus holds his son's face, just so much emotion.
It hurts to hear him talk about the "strength you hold within" in comparison to Telemachus speaking of how he wishes he were strong.
Currently reading The Odyssey for the first time, but this made me think of at least the setting for their first meeting. So beautifully illustrated.
too beautiful was worth it, yes, of course everything🥲🥲🥲🥲😭😭😭
This saga is gonna have me blubbing like a baby
Wow, can’t wait to cry when listening to the Ithaca saga
I'm going to absolutely bawl my eyes out when this saga drops 😭
"am finally home " I almost cried ❤️🩹
Wolfy, I hope you know that your animatics and fanart have single-handedly inspired me to listen to Epic: The Musical and finally crack open my gigantic copy of the Iliad and the Odyssey instead of finishing The Last Olympian first like I planned.
I'm crying again, why do I cry everytime I find another cinematic
I'm prepared to cry again when this song comes out
I told myself I wasn’t gonna cry but “MY SON IM FINALLY HOME!” Got me 😭😭😭😭
You made this so fast, the song snippet was just posted a few hours ago holy heck. I love this 😭💞💞
This is so extremely beautiful! Both of them absoloudly don't know each other, but missed each other so badly all the time. And I just love how Odysseus not only acknoleges, that Telemachus must have suffered, but 100% focuses on it. Not once does he say stuff like "I suffered so much to get home", but instead "You are strong, I want to know about your life, I want to get to know you and be there for you". He totally focuses on his son and forgets about anything else and this is beautiful!!!!
When I tell you the amount crying and cheering I’m going to do when this fully releases…
i crying so much right now, the melody the lyrics, the animation this is a master and I need the complete song so you can make animated
I am NOT ready for this song when it releases fully! 😭😭
great going wolfy im actually crying rn
no but seriously this is so emotionally im in tears and that NEVER happens to me because i never get emotional
Oh... Oh this song is gonna make me bawl my eyes out
"Used to say i would capture wind and sky for you" well he did twice.
Jorge has managed to take a very emotional scene in the original poem and turn the emotions up to eleven and this animatic made it hit even harder. The full version of this song is probably going to destroy me 😅
Excuse me as I ugly cry at this😭😭😭😭😭 didn’t need to make me weep but it DID.
I am going to actually die when this song comes out.
THIS IS SO GOOD😭😭 THE HUG AT LAST, TELE CRYING, THE EXPRESSIONS UGHH😭👏👏
