Yep, I’m still stuck on The Odyssey. Here’s something fun for the holiday weekend. My colleague who shared this with me said “It’s like… amateur Hamilton-style songs about the Odyssey.” From the video’s own description:
EPIC is a work-in-progress musical. It has 2 out of 9 sagas released currently, the Troy Saga and the Cyclops Saga. Jorge Rivera-Herrans posts snippets of the unreleased sagas on his TikTok. This video compiles all the songs and snippets in chronological order.
This compilation is about an hour and half long, but has links in the comments below it on YouTube where you can leap into different “chapters.”
Nota Bene: For the beginning clips, the video just shows the album covers, but starting with the chapter “Storm,” you get videos of performs (many Zoom-esque TikToks, but sometimes on the beach or other appropriate settings). I was listening to it (and enjoying it) while on another screen, so I didn’t catch the changeover at first.
