Two details about Six Hundred Strike that I should have noticed sooner.
1. The guitar riff at the beginning is Odysseus' theme.
2. When Poseidon says, "you released my storm", he sings the same notes that Odysseus did when he sang the word "storm" back in the Ocean Saga.
The first two times that Athena sings, "Warrior of the Mind", she only sings a single elongated note on the word "mind".
When she and Odysseus sing it together for the first time, she still only holds one note, while Odysseus kind of plays with it a little. And the very next time, as well as for the rest of the musical, that's exactly how Athena sings that motif.
It's a kind of subtle way of showing that he's already starting to affect her way of thinking.
The, "He will burn your house and throne" motif from The Horse and the Infant only appears one other time. When the siren is singing, "He will chase you high and low" in Suffering.
Both appear in the first song of their respective acts, and both times Odysseus is being presented with an impossible moral choice that he's already long since made up his mind on.
For all the changes that Epic makes, the details it decides to keep can be pretty funny.
Telemachus forgets to lock the damn armory in both universes. This is a universal constant to his character.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that those melodies from My Goodbye and We'll Be Fine are the same as Warrior of the Mind.
Not sure what it means if anything, but these lines share the same notes.
"My real wife knows I'm not scared of the water." From Different Beast.
"Keep your head down; He's aiming for the torches." From Odysseus.
I hope Ilium somehow finds a way to include Odysseus getting Palamedes killed as revenge for making him go to war because that was honestly so real.
At the end of Six Hundred Strike, Poseidon calls Odysseus a "Monster". At the same time, Odysseus starts to sing, "Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves." Before he gets cut off.
They're singing each other's melodies. In a twisted way, they've come to an understanding.
