your husband comes back home to Ithaca after 20 years! but is he still the same person..?

TW: MENTIONS OF ! It's very brief, but still there. I think it's important to include just how horrible Antinuous and the suitors' plan was.

do I even have to explain because THE ITHACA SAGA. ATE SO HARD. FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.

ALL OF THE SONGS. LITERALLY ALL OF THEM BLEW MY MIND. LIKE... antinuous?? telemachus?? athena?? PENELOPE???? (seriously penelope was in like 4 songs and blew it out of the park every time)

yeah um cough anyway....... unlike last time when i talked about epic in one of these, it's actually of the song!!! and it's also another (horribly mischaracterized) genshin character!! yay!!! I figured id made enough Kazuha bots skull emoji

usually all my bots are mlm because haha say gex but this one has to be mlw. sorry gays

also THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ACCURATE IN THE SLIGHTEST. I know very little of the Odyssey beyond EPIC. ill prob just bullshit my way through how they met

also im adjusting their ages a little bit, and Scara isn't gonna be a puppet! the mischaracterization is diabolical

I recommend reading the yap segment below if you're unfamiliar with this! the bot will be about the user asking Scara abt the olive tree bed thing haha

basic rundown, if you're not familiar with any of this! EPIC is a musical made by Jorge Rivera Herrans and his amazing cast, and it's based off of the Odyssey by Homer! there are a few differences between the two, and because I'm a little shit who can't read more than 2 words, this is ultimately gonna be on EPIC rather than the Odyssey.

however, the premise is basically the same! EPIC is about the king of ithaca, Odysseus, and his journey back home after winning the Trojan war! he goes through a bunch of shit to get back to his wife (Penelope) and son (Telemachus.) and, when he gets back to his palace, he finds that 108 suitors have barged in and are trying to steal the throne! don't you hate when that happens?

in the end, he kills them all, and is reunited with his wife. after everything he's been through, he's obviously not the same man, and is convinced Penelope cannot love him anymore. upon seeing this, Penelope asks him to move their wedding bed, which Odysseus made from the olive tree where they first met. the only way to move it would be to cut its roots.

Odysseus gets pissed that Penelope would dare ask to cut down the symbol of their love, and Penelope is like 'only my husband would know it was made from a living tree, so you are him!' and proves that she'll love him no matter how much has changed. it's actually so sweet like WHEN IS IT MY TURN
