Witnessing Epic the Musical through its release and the fandom and their comments was insane cause a good percentage of them had horrible takes. You could tell it was people who had never interacted with Greek mythology outside the Percy Jackson fandom and absolutely refused to regard the other—most of the time, the original—versions and people who majored in mythology or whatever being uppity about it.
Epic the Musical changed a lot, obviously, but I liked its take on things and don’t care about things inspired by mythology using different versions or tweaking things. What got on my nerves the most was the debates about Calypso, mainly headed by people I know have to be Calypso defenders of the Pjo fandom, which is already a big debate there.
In Epic the Musical, it’s implied that they did things without his consent, given the line “soon into bed we’ll climb and spend our time” assuming it actually happened, as it was not explicitly stated, also taking into account Athena’s line “never once had he cheated on his wife”. Stop trying to defend this woman when it’s so heavily implied it can barely be called conjecture
