🌿 — TIRESIAS OFFICIALLY HANDS OVER THE TITLE OF PROPHET OF THE MUSICAL TO CASSANDRA:

[youcannotkillmeiamsubhuman]

Now that Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is out, we can wait for the EPIC: The Musical movie, and then have to deal with people saying "We just got The Odyssey, why are we getting another adaptation?"

And all the people complaining about Lupita Nyong'o playing Helen are gonna have their heads spinning at Puerto Rican Odysseus, Polites wearing glasses, Black Eurylochus, Black Antinous, Black Ares, British Circe, and British Hermes.

And all the people complaining about Robert Pattinson Antinous saying "You're pining for a daddy you didn't even know, like some sniveling bastard" are gonna have to deal with the What Saga and Holy Moly.

Can't wait.

one of my coworkers just warned another that if he didn't see Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" right away he'd be "spoiled for sure", which really tickled me considering the story has been around since Ancient Greece

test weaving of penelope's tapestry on the chiusi skyphos:

reference:

there are some adjustments I need to make for tension, but I'd like to make the next version into a header band for a warp-weighted loom so I can try weaving the whole pot, including telemachus and penelope.

edit: a few progress updates in reblogs.

edit 2: finished! completed work here.

Jon Bernthal and Lupita Nyong'o 👑👑

It never fails. Racists are so predictable. Any time a Black woman gets a role that's been previously played by White women, the racists have to whine and bitch about it. Helen of Troy isn't real. Athena isn't real. Any woman of any ethnicity and nationality could play these roles. It's never that serious.

In 1950, Orson Welles cast Eartha Kitt as Helen of Troy in his avant-garde stage production, Time Runs (also known as The Blessed and the Damned), in Paris.

Because Helen of Troy is a purely mythological figure—the legendary daughter of the Greek god Zeus and Leda—and not a documented historical person, performers of diverse ethnic backgrounds are frequently cast to reinterpreting her character on stage and screen.

Zendaya is playing Athena but it's not the first time a non White woman has played this role. Athena has been played by Audra Day.

Andra Day: The Grammy-winning singer and actress was cast to portray Athena in the second season of the Disney+ live-action series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

THE ODYSSEY (2026) dir. Christopher Nolan

[wereokarentwemoony]

In light of the Odyssey movie coming out this is my formal PSA that Helen of Troy is actually Helen of Sparta, Troy is the city she was stolen and brought to. The entire Trojan war is the Greeks trying to get her back from Troy, because she is from Sparta. I feel like we all collectively forget this.

i mean sure, Nobody is perfect, but what were they even thinking

[hylialeia]

listen it's not that I think epic the musical is a perfect adaption of the odyssey but it was an impressive passion project that knew what it wanted to be and knew what people gravitated to in the original work and it put significant effort into conveying this through its unique medium and tone to the point that hundreds of other people felt compelled to put effort into their own artistic interpretations of that version of the story. and that's really cool! and yes I would be more critical if it was a 100 million dollar project made by a professional because what the fuck do you mean you're a world-famous director and you cut the my name is nobody scene are you goddamn serious
