Epic: The musical tale of Odysseus and the Odyssey
First things first! I do NOT own the rights to Epic the musical. All rights go to Jorge Rivera-Herrans and the cast who sang in it. Please go check them out especially if you have never listened to the musical. This is a FAN retelling of the musical with more details to make it like a novel. Now then, with that out of the way.... In Greek Mythology, there are Tales, Legends, and Myths of Heroes and Tragedies alike. There's one certain tale that I'd like to unveil, one regarding a king and his plight. One of the perilous journeys of Gods, Monsters, and lessons in Ruthlessness and No Mercy. So sit back and enjoy as I tell you the tale of Odysseus and the Odyssey. Check out Epic the musical on YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, or wherever you listen to music.Complete

Honeyed Storm: The Epic of (Name)"
In the age of heroes, gods, and war, the world forgot her name. Born under a bleeding moon, (Name) was the divine child of Nyx, goddess of night, and Aether, god of upper air and light-an impossible union never meant to happen. To hide the shame of their union, the gods misplaced her thread in the Loom of Fate. She was cast down to the mortal world, raised in the shadows as a girl with eyes like galaxies and power she never asked for. But fate doesn't forget. It waits. It obsesses. As a young woman, she marries Odysseus and Penelope in secret-three hearts bound in a rare and sacred union. When war calls Odysseus to Troy, (Name) defies every expectation and joins him, setting sail as his equal, his protector, and unknowingly, the object of everyone's unraveling. On this journey, (Name) becomes the eye of a storm she never meant to summon: • Gods fall in love with her. And not gently. • Demigods chase her like moths to divine flame. • Monsters let her live when they should have killed. • Penelope, back in Ithaca, becomes possessive and wrathful in her longing. • Odysseus loses battles from jealousy alone, afraid someone will touch what's his. Even the world itself seems to shift toward her: Islands tilt. Winds wail. The stars blink in rhythm with her breath. As the crew dwindles-not from war, but from obsession-fueled madness-(Name) begins to uncover the truth: The gods are not simply in love. They are desperate. The Loom of Fate has started unraveling because her misplaced thread has warped destiny itself. If she doesn't confront her origins... If she doesn't choose what she wants... The world may rip itself apart trying to possess her.Complete
THE ILIAD (Completed)
The Iliad (sometimes referred to as the Song of Ilion or Song of Ilium) is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. The Iliad is paired with something of a sequel, the Odyssey, also attributed to Homer. Along with the Odyssey, the Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature, and its written version is usually dated to around the 8th century BC. Recent statistical modelling based on language evolution gives a date of 760-710 BC.Complete
The Aeneid By Virgil Written 19 B.C.E
The Aeneid is an epic poem written in 12 books and is modeled in part on the great Greek epic poems, on Homer's Iliadand Odyssey, and on Apollonius' Argonautica. The Iliad describes the exploits of Achilles and other Greek heroes in the Trojan War (the same war which forced Aeneas to leave Troy and is described in Book II of the Aeneid) whilst the Odyssey describes how Ulysses (or Odysseus in Greek) wandered for many years, trying to return home after the Trojan War. The first six books of the Aeneid parallel the Odyssey because they describe Aeneas' search for a home. Aeneas even stops in many of the same places that Odysseus did. There is an important difference, however, for whilst Odysseus was trying to return to his original home, Aeneas must find a new place in which to settle and make his home. The second six books parallel the Iliad, for they describe the war in Italy just as the Iliad describes the Trojan War. Again, there are many parallels. For example, the Trojans are besieged inside their fort in Italy just as they were trapped inside Troy. But again there is an important difference, since the Iliad describes how the Trojans lost the war and Troy fell but in theAeneid the Trojans win the war in Italy and get the chance to build a new city. Virgil imitates many scenes from both the Iliad and the Odyssey in his epic, but he always changes them in significant ways so that they illustrate his own Roman themes. One of the most important differences between Homer's epics and the Aeneid is that it can be read as a patriotic poem whilst the Iliad and the Odyssey are poems about individuals and their adventures.Complete

Cuenta, Musa, la historia del héroe que vagó tanto tiempo después de asolada la ciudad de Troya por sus enemigos. Así ha de rezar aquel poema que narra los horrores que un hombre hubo de soportar por volver con aquellos a quienes más anhelaba, mientras que zarpaba de isla en isla buscando el camino a casa, año tras año su hogar se llenaba de nobles, pretendientes por la mano de su esposa que la tomaban por viuda, asechándola a ella y a su pobre hijo. Pero este es un poema distinto. ¿Y si Odiseo hubiera vuelto a Itaca al terminar la guerra? Ya no habrían pretendientes que asecharan a su esposa y su trono, ¿Verdad? ¿Podria su hijo Telémaco vivir en paz al fin? .......................................................... Tell, Musa, the story of the hero who wandered for so long after the city of Troy was devastated by its enemies. This is how that poem should read that tells of the horrors that a man had to endure to return to those he most longed for, while he set sail from island to island looking for his way home, year after year his home was filled with nobles, suitors for the hand of his wife who took her for a widow, stalking her and her poor son. But this is a different poem. What if Odysseus had returned to Ithaca after the war? There would no longer be any suitors to prey on his wife and his throne, right? Could his son Telemachus live in peace at last?Complete
Journey of Odysseus( Epic Canon)
The tale of a King favored by the gods, faced trials and suffering on his way home. Authors' Note I used the flow of the story using the Epic Musical I realized that this isn't like completely accurate to the Homer original story. Also I used Chatgpt to translate to old English and it's hard to read 🤔 I will write this book again to follow the original and not use Old English.😅Complete
