name is a work in progress but its what im tagging all of this au under. anyways, AU is basically;
Odysseus’ arc goes in reverse. He starts off as a monster and learns mercy. also au is sorta ooc, also referenced from the odyssey
Anyways,
TROY SAGA
the musical starts with The Horse and the Infant, followed by Just a Man.
No changes to THatI. Just a man is less of a ballad and more of a villain song. With Odysseus dropping the infant, he establishes how he will do anything to get home. He has minimal hesitation, unlike the original song. Odysseus is already a monster.
then, we have Full Speed Ahead, and Warrior of the Mind
In Full Speed Ahead, we meet two major characters. Eurylochus, Odysseus’ second in command, and Polites, his best friend. They’re running out of food. Eurylochus suggests they dock on the island ahead and raid for food. Odysseus agrees.
There, they find the Lotus Eaters, a large group of men and women who are more than willing to share their fruit after some back and forth with Polites.
Unfortunately, Odysseus does not recognize the fruit.
In Warrior of The Mind, Athena appears and forces Odysseus to reject the fruit from his body. She sobers him up by reminding him of his role as a warrior of the mind and his goal to get home.
Unfortunately, Odysseus’s men have also consumed the fruit. Some are harder to sober up than others.
The final song of the Troy Saga is Cope With That.
In this song, Elpenor, a crew member, reveals his friend Perimedes is depressed. He asks that they leave him on the island, because he is happier under the lotus’ effects.
Unfortunately, Athena urges Odysseus to refuse. And he does.
Odysseus forces all of the men to return to the ship, including those still under the effects of the lotus, like Perimedes.
He threatens the lotus eaters, asking where they can get other food, and is directed to a nearby cave.
