He's also a weeb, which is amazing.

Interesting thing about Odysseus being a descendant of Hermes is in what Hermes is the god of. He mainly gets revered as the god of messages, travel and herding, but he also has play over oration, cunning and wit. Trickery is pretty much all in his wheelhouse, even utilizing that aspect of him as an infant to secure him and his mothers status with Olympus and to take up the role of messenger of the gods. And whenever we see Odysseus actually having a win its usually through cunning and wit, the exact traits passed down from Hermes. Basically Odysseus should have just set up with Hermes as his patron god from the start cuz they honestly would have the better understanding of one another and would play to eachother much much better.

23:48 I feel like if it’s gods it’s fine. Oedipus marrying his mom was seen as part of a horrific prophecy he accidentally fulfilled, so there does seem to be a negative connotation on the mortal side.

Casper still being salty about Polites death is amusing to me for some reason, but anyways- A detail I like about Wouldn’t You Like is Hermes’s laugh. In MY OPINION, my opinion folks, it sounds a lot like birds; like when they flutter around in trees close to you and their calls.

YES YOU WATCHED XIMENA NATZEL’S ANIMATIC FOR THIS (i loved this animatic so much)

About the fact that Hermes and Ody are related (dont worry, im not gonna make it weird), it definitely explains the trickster part of his personality! The reason why hermes is so chill with Ody specifically is because thats his dude. Part of him is in Odysseus, and he feels inclined to help him. Odysseus was the one to come up the Trojan horse (at least in some translations). He uses the nobody trick, and later in the saga, he goes to Cirice with moly, and at first is playing dumb about what she did. Its fun to think of Hermes as that one guy from you family that shows up to teach you how to cheat the system, and dootes heavily on Odysseus.

15:02 for a second I thought you just did the limp wrist thing 💅to Hermes like you were calling him gay😭

Casper I'm surprised you didn't pick up on the fact that there were two voices singing the " wouldn't you like a taste of the power" line . One was Hermes and the other is the person who voices Athena. Nothing has been confirmed , but I think your theory that Athena has been watching and that has been signified by the piano in previous songs is correct and that hearing her voice here is a hint that she is trying to indirectly help Odysseus and that she sent Hermes.

I just checked what artists are listed on "Wouldn't you like"and Athena's actor is not listed by name it just lists Troy , Jorge, and 'cast of epic' but it seems suspicious. If it's not intentional it does seem like a missed opportunity especially considering how a piano, Athena's instrument, always seems to be played right before or when Odysseus is facing off against the bad guy in previous sagas.

Jay posted a clip a while ago of an older version of "Puppeteer" with Teagan (Athena) as Circe, and the song sounds so different, and not just because of Teagan. Armando (Eurylochus) has greatly improved in his confidence in the rap part. There are a lot of clips of older versions of the songs and it's mind-blowing how much changed.

Mortius fangirling over Hermes is my whole mood and religion

Going off of the fact that Hermes often gifts heroes what they need to succeed, I remember how Mortius was going all crazy about how Odysseus just accepted all the gifts that were thrown into his path. In Greek mythology, it was considered rude to deny gifts from the lowest guest to the gods. There are myths where people with poor hospitality will literally get the wrath of the gods, or those with good hospitality would be allowed to avoid some kind of catastrophe. Just thought you might like to know, so here you are.

Hermes is also Odysseus' great grandfather! so helping him at this moment doesn't nessecarily come out of the blue. he may have been following along for a while or at least checking in from time to time. it's not unreasonable to assume he already knows how much influence Athena has exerted on Odysseus

And it may just be me, but I don't hear Athena's theme, nor her instrument in the background, so I doubt she asked Hermes to help.

20:44 - The original demos of all of the songs were all just performed by Jorge essentially until he started casting the roles through tiktok lol. Save he had Teagan (Athena) early, as a frlend of his I believe and she demoed Athena and Circe's parts
