"Gods dammit, we already have someone that tells stupidities, where's Cassandre now?"

"Yeah, shut up Cassandra!"

Do we need to put you in the cellar again

Lmao Cassandra just dooming Troy because she points out the horse has a full on chant chorus going

And they will also curse you if your didn't kill him. There's no winning with these gods

Lmao real

Zeus was not the one to tell Odysseus to do that. And every god in ancient mythologies, including the israelite God, where like that, demanding gruesome things, the greek gods where not the only ones.

The Greek gods are in this content. We don't need to compare all the gods in existance to enjoy and talk about them. @@sonofcronos7831

I don't really think so. If he'd let the son life, the gods who supported troy would definitly convince the child to revenge his family. It might not be Zeus will, but it's still the will of other gods.

Zeus didn't participate in this at all. He was neutral during the Trojan War and he didn't allow the other gods participate either. They did in secret and after Aphrodite was injured by Diomedes, Zeus made them all retire from the war.

@@locusta-bw2vd But, it seems that no matter what Odysseus tries to say he could do to not kill the child, Zeus counters. What tips me off is the two lines; “The Gods will make him know.” And “This is the will of the Gods.” It seems he could let Odysseus do this, but Zeus wants the child dead.

@@prestonstanley7736 It wasn't the will of the gods in the original myth. The gods who supported Greek victory over Troy cursed the Greeks to have a difficult way back home because they broke the rules. They did not respect the temples as refugee shelters, they dragged out women and children who had sought shelter in the temples, they raped and killed (rape of Cassandra, murder of Astyanax). And they got punished for it.

​@@prestonstanley7736thing is Zeus is not an omnipotent, omniscient god. Some of the gods supported Troy, others did Greece. Zeus is neutral. And he cant truly prevent some of the gods from doing what he warns from, as they will do it in secret whatever he says

Lol agreed prompts to them

And he did it twice

@🥔 A Fellow Potato 🥔 Jesus thats the nicest thing a random stranger did to me! I can't believe it got so many likes

Yeah it's a good comment man

@Alexander it is my duty as a Fellow Potato. Join me and the potatoes and together we can rule the galaxy as potato and potato

@@afellowpotato This is the way

I don't trust a word that comes out of that excuse of a king, father and husband. Look at how he approaches Odysseus during the previous song, the inconsistency... And then, there's the fact he can't force his subjects to accept Troy fell. It's like Kratos said: "Gods are petty and pathetic. And your rule is weak.".

​@@JabamiLainjudging ancient religious figures by today's moral standards is stupid and you're stupid for doing so.

​@@JabamiLainZeus IS such an ahole, this is Not AS Bad AS "Favorit so'n" from "the Mechanisms" WHO managed to make him even worse of an ahole thenhe worse in the myth, but ist's a Close call . . .Just His describtion of the Babe and how missleading IT IS, then His O do Not think you can do IT, edging him on but also knowing, that Odysseus can Not bear what He asks of him, but demanding IT all the Same and then the BS of ITS the will of the gods, like He was Not their fucking ruler . . .

@@timtimothy5405I can agree to that in regards to Odysseus, but not for Zeus.

He’s trying to convince himself that it’s for the greater good.

I mean, was kinda right​@@Princessallstar365

Its also cool because the later line "when does a man become a monster" makes me think of Hectors son too. not only Odysseus.

I always interpreted it as Odysseus asking hinself if this child will truly be his undoing if he grows up Like no matter what he does he will find kut and kill everyonenhe loves , sort of a way to talk himself up to doing the unthinkable ​@@RayGainbows

​@@JabamiLain what do you mean previous song

​@@venuasaur560 I fixed the comment.

It can also be foresight for the cyclops. It couldn't fight back but when Athena told him to finish it he let his humanity kick in and said no which was a stab to the will of the gods since he forgets she is a god. And because of his mercy he had to deal with Poseidon who became an avenger because of his son's cries.

And the fact Odysseus was most likely thinking about a powerful warrior and definitely not a baby hits hard 😭

FR THATS THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF LMAO

I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT LOL

I WAS SEARCHING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS

Is Poseidon gonna be a dolphin lmao 🤣

@@user-tp9uw1pr6m Doesn't a lyric say "The pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now" otherwise it would have to be a horse

@@user-tp9uw1pr6m He should be a horse, that was his animal.

@@tarniabook3076 I know but how is he going to appear to Odysseus as a horse? Since he is on the sea

@@user-tp9uw1pr6m I think there is a creature which is an aquatic horse in Greek mythology. And also, he's a god, he could turn into a horse that looks normal but walks on water or something.

The Commander “the hades you on about go go in the lying conner with Cassandra"

na it was probably aeneas 💀💀💀

@@lilamurilega9583he’s a fucking snitch

Same! It took me awhile though 😅

Same 🙈

As someone who's just finished the song of Achilles I'm loving the sing even more

What did Neoptolemus do?

​@ilikedinosaurs392 He is the son of Achilles, who was also known as Pyrrhus, meaning "Red". He was brought to fight in the Trojan War by Odysseus because the prophecy said they could only win with poisonous arrows of Heracles, the stealing the Palladium and bringing teen Neo to the war. Edit: clicked too early LOL. Here is the rest: Neo took after his father, and in some sources was said to be hella brutal of a killer, killing at least 5 big names in the war and rumored to be ruthless. But there are some sources where he carries out killing someone, making sure to kill them painlessly.

I

Holy sh-t

@@VFM_ofYa “little Ajax” was also known as Ajax the Lesser. Odysseus even suggested he be put to death because he knew Athena was going to be pissed.

LMAO SAME😭

LMAOOOO AND SAME WITH THE CIRCE THING😭

Having a fire in a wooden horse though might have been an oversight 😝

@@amynguyen527 I was thinking that 😂

Not really. The gods who supported Troy coming to the boy and saying “hey you wanna kill the man who killed your daddy?” is entirely within the realm of possibility. Most of the gods did pick a side and some did actively participate in the war after all.

I think it depends on how you raise the kid. The Gods will tell him, well than I tell him myself you dumbass. I will love and cherish him and tell him that I chose to raise him instead of giving in to a god's will. That I love him and that I'm sorry that his biological parents had been in a war with us and how desperate every soldier is to protect their home. That I see him as my son even if he had different parent. If he was raised by love why should he avenge a father he can't even remember? Hell, I'll raise him to chose for himself and not because some gods tell him something he already knows I raise my middlefinger to Zeus because he clearly has no understanding how LOVE works. The man who sleeps with every beautiful woman regardless how she feels can 't tell me that the way of raising a child of love can make an enemy Love, information, no secrets and just symphaty are the keys. And to be fair, for the gods it will be a bad tale but for humans? I would live for that. But well Odysseus tried at least with the idea but didn't believe enough in it. PS: "The blood on your hands is something you won't lose. All you can choose is whose" Zeus, I bleed every month with pain don't come me with this info. Because Iwill chose yours. And throw a party with Hades for trying lol

@@tktsunami6236While that's possible, knowing Greek tragedy rules it would have never ended well.

imma bout to end thus mans whole career..... did you know that Little Ajax dies too-

@@SIMPLY_GJ I mean, I'm aware Odysseus is the only one who survives back home sooo... 😄

@@Random_Kelsey Little Ajax no more-

@@SIMPLY_GJ yours simply not going to get em to ball g just accept the gamer over screen

@@Random_Kelsey menelaus does as well!, he and Helen actually have a happy ending

the "Cruel and uncaring gods" hits harder after "I'll make sure his past is never know" is followed by "The gods will make him know"

This is why I am Christian. Why the heck would you follow someone who's rooting against you?

@@fernandonava6693I mean, the Christian God’s record isn’t spotlessly clean either.

For me it's a kind of equality: Zeus lets Odysseus choose his destiny by telling him information. The choice is then in his hands. It will be the same for Astyanax (the baby) if he grows up. I don't know if I can express my thoughts well but in my head this situation makes sense. The gods see what could happen and have the habit of intervening all the time in human affairs...

I’m also in love with that part😂 this whole video is perfectly made❤ I honestly think that if they make an animated version of this musical, this person should be put in charge of it. Cuz I would watch it many many many times

Diomedes is a badass in the Iliad. Love that guy.

I had the Iliad as assigned reading in ninth grade, and I really liked it. I had to write an essay on a topic in it after reading, and I wrote about the weapons used. After that, my English teacher made me pick from a set of prompts.

@@metarcee2483 lmao

@@ilikedinosaurs392 she was very glad she did that when we covered Pride and Prejudice, which I described as "regency Kardashians." That essay ended up being an attempt to figure out why Elizabeth and Darcy ended up liking each other.

​@@metarcee2483 . . .hate to Break IT to you, but pride and prejudice IS nothing Like regency kardashians . . .AS someone WHO hates 99.99 procent of all romance this IS one of very few intelligent and reasonable approaches to romance and belivable misunderstandings

Nah that's the next one

Don't spoil him!!!

I couldn't have said it better! So well done!!! 🤘🏻

120% agree this is my favorite animation done so far! It's being saved! I listen to these songs a lot while playing assassin's creed odyssey

I mean if I had a wife that looks like Penelope I too would do everything to get back.

But also the contrast, in the end, Hector Always Chose Honor and pride over His family

If WE how with the illiad though, Odysseus would have worn a helmet/ cap Made from leather and hog tusks, IT IS one of the exlpicitly described things

I believe that one ending says that Odysseus is killed by the son he had with Circe, so in a way he was killed by his kid. It just wasn't Astyanax

​@@renamami Interesting, actually never heard of that ending. And looking it up it appears Odysseus dies like a chump about cattle. And in another I looked up he died of old age. I was more pointing out the story changes with each new author. Story beats stay the same but some myths (and plays) change wildly. I know in the next song, to me at least, it is unclear if he goes through with it or not. And we might not know unless its performed on stage, or kept vague for interpretation.

Same I've been watching it non stop im obssesed

That part's got me hooked really... The camera movement, angles like it's a masterpiece

Yeah right the part was soo good

I assumed it was "Little Ajax Jr." Aka Eurysaces

I would recommend Hades town

Diomedes was such an absolute legend, nearly killed Aphrodite son by throwing a boulder at him and ever attacked Aphrodite herself when she came to rescue her boy.

@@Sergei_Ivanovich_Mosine's always been my favorite greek hero. Love that guy.

Exactly!! This song has Yorktown and my shot vibes w a lil of who lives who dies

IT IS so Epic!!!

Thanks for the heart Gigi!!! :3

It's the musical version of the "Odyssey".

@patroclies yes, from the Song of Achilles 🥲

This is amazing

But that is a BIG maybe alternative timeline. The Gods that were on Trojan would made sure that Astyanax knows about his heritage and push him to vengeance. So Zeus didn't lie.

Zeus Bird lol
