Eurylochus: *facing timing Odysseus* WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU TWO?? I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU FOR HOURS!

Odysseus: Oh yeah. We went to a bar, had a good time, got into a fight, so we left and uh... *looks at Polites*

Polites: *mouths* Escape room

Odysseus: ...we went to an escape room

Eurylochus: WHO THE FUCK GOES TO AN ESCAPE ROOM AFTER A BAR FIGH-

Eurylochus:

Eurylochus: You're in jail, aren't you?

Polites: *picking a lock in the background* NO IT'S A ROOM AND WE'RE TRYING TO ESCAPE

Troy Saga trio!

Man what a bunch of chill dudes! I love how they all get to return home safe and sound and have their homoerotic friendship strengthened!

Design rambles below lol

Once again clothing is a mixture of Mycenaean fashion and the more common Hellenistic fashion Ancient Greece is usually depicted in.

- For their chiton sleeves, I kinda wanted to make it a sliding scale with Ody in the middle. Since in the musical polites n eurylochus kinda act as two opposite ends of a spectrum? Being kind, merciful and open arms vs being cautious, ruthless, and prioritizing whatever it takes to make sure you and/or the people you care about survive (kinda 'fuck you, I got my own’ type vibes.) All that to say it’s why the men have different chiton sleeves. Eurylochus is more reserved so he’s the most ‘covered up’, polites is very friendly and open so he’s more ‘exposed’ and Ody is in the middle with just a sleeveless look.

-eury and Ody have matching belts because they’re both royalty/nobility (in my headcannon Eury came from a humble background but since he’s, you know, ody’s brother in law, he’s nobility now and he’s second in command of the crew). The triangle is supposed to be a symbol of Ithaca’s mountains and the tip of Athena’s spear.

- I headcannon that although ody’s men don’t all have cohesive uniforms, they all wear at least some sorta of green cloth with red/orange or light yellow accents, since I’m making it that Ithaca’s main color is olive green bc…ya know, the olive trees lol.

- polites has a lot of scars because I really enjoyed this interpretation/characterization I’ve seen some other fellow artists do where polites was a sweet man before the war, became a BEAST of a solider during the war, but near the end of the war and afterwards, became so haunted by his actions that he adopted his ‘open arms’ life philosophy and tried being his old self as a way to cope/somehow atone for his actions.

- Like I said in my wip post of these designs, I hit polities with the chubby beem bc I want him to come across as soft, warm and inviting, like you KNOW that man gives the best bear hugs. Because of that I actually kinda partially based my design on a cousin of mine lol. He’s a big, chill, kind hearted guy that kinda has a similar life philosophy to polites lol.

-Ody looks and carries himself more like a trickster in my design because well…it’s king Odysseus. He’s the grandson of Hermes’ and Athena’s chosen for a reason lol.

DESPERATELY wanna write a Odysseus x Polites AU where Ody decides to keep Astyanax (the infant from the start) and him and Polites raise him together.

No but Polites is such a wholesome and kind-hearted guy he’d be the one person Odysseus would trust to make sure the kid wouldn’t go evil.

Alternatively this is a EuryOdyPoli situation or maybe EuryOdyPoliPen.

EPIC: The Musical is great for multishippers because every combination just...works

Odysseus X Penelope? Obviously.

Telemachus X Antinous? Lovers regardless of if they stay enemies.

Odysseus X Poseidon? No surprise here.

Eurylochus X Ctimene? The fact that she doesn't appear in EPIC allows for more room for tragedy.

Ares X Aphrodite? We love some lovers who make everyone else deal with the fact that they exist.

Elpenor X Perimedes? If you've heard "Comfort Zone" and "Cope With That" you know.

Odysseus X Hermes? Yep.

Polites X Eurylochus? Of course.

Odyssus X Diomedes? He's not in EPIC but it still works and is almost always sad!

Penelope X Circe? We love our literal and metaphorical queens.

Hermes X Tiresias? I was somehow surprised by this one but you bettcha!

Antinous X Calypso? It can go really great or really poorly but it'll still go!

Telmachus X Poseidon? Give it a shot and it'll work out!

Eurylochus X Helios? I was surprised by this one too but it works!

Oh what's that? You want polyamory?

Odysseus X Poseidon X Zeus? The man has thick thighs to save his crew's lives.

Telemchus X Antinous X Eurymachus? If you want the kid to suffer more then that's right there.

Odysseus X Polites X Eurylochus? And they were boatmates (oh my god they were boatmates)

Telemachus X Peisistratus X Neoptolemus? Welcome to the "you better figure out how to spell their names" squad, now with more daddy issues!

Odysseus X Penelope X Diomedes? There is so much angst here oh my god but it's all great

Odysseus X Penelope X Athena? Slap some Demiromantic (or greyromantic) asexual on that goddess and you're good to go.

Odysseus X Penelope X Eurylochus X Polites? Why choose one ship when you can choose them all!

This fandom has something for everyone and every pairing I have seen content for just...works. And I think that's beautiful.
