This book is purely me analysing the lyrics and music of the musical, EPIC, loosely based on The Odyssey by Homer and Greek mythology in general.
The first four song analysis chapters were published before the Vengeance Saga was released.
The updates for this will be random so apologies if I disappear for like two months and don't upload 😅
This book will contain spoilers for other sagas, songs and moments in the musical as I explore parallels a lot.

Enjoy my random analysis journey! :)
★★★
EPIC: The Musical is a musical inspired by Greek mythology, loosely based on the story of the Odyssey, which is an ancient Greek poem written by Homer. The musical centres around Odysseus, the current reigning king of Ithaca, who is making his journey home from Troy, which took an entire decade.
For context, in Homer's "The Odyssey", Odysseus is making his journey home from Troy after being called upon by Menelaus (King of Sparta and husband of Helen) to rescue Helen from Troy. This is where Jorge's adaptation comes in, as the first saga begins when he is fighting in Troy.
