I'm sorry for any misunderstandings caused to everyone! Firstly, due to the time zone, this song was released a few hours earlier in our country. Secondly, I was already drawing part of this song when only a few clips were publicly released, but later I organized them. Thank you very much for your liking. I created it with great excitement, but of course there are many flaws. Please forgive me!🥺🥺💗💗💗💗

I love your interpretation you are so good

Polites gets me every time. What hurts so much is that according to Jorge, the lyrics are what the spirits were thinking right before they died. So Polites STILL believed in kindness as he died. That makes Monster- where Odysseus turns his back on kindness- hurt SO MUCH MORE. Now not only is Polites dead, but the part of him Odysseus was carrying is dead too.

I think in the overall scheme of things he succeeds in a way. Odysseus will have his crew turn on him in Act 2 after he refused to protect them from Scylla and realize being a callous asshole all the time doesn't make you right either. He will learn from Polites that you should always welcome the world with kindness but learn from Poseidon do not hesitate to do what needs to be done if you're given no choice. There is a middle ground that he struggles to find.

This song hurts. Odysseus was forced to relive all the deaths from during his voyage. The finale thought of all those who died. When we hear Polites, it hits my heart heard, especially when even in his final moment, he still holds his beliefs of peace close to his heart. Then, immediately after, we found that Odysseus's mother passed while she waited for her son to return home. And after his mother vanishes the rage of "all i hear are screams!" Is the perfect show of his resolve and desire not to lose everything. It's a beautifully crafted song and an absolutely amazing emotional rollercoaster. Thank you for this animation!

1:56 😢 Oh so beautiful, you matched those devastating beautiful and sad lyrics with great art

I cried when Polites sang then cried even more when his mom showed up and I can't stop crying now😭😭

The imagery of the ship capsizing so as to enter the Underworld is so satisfying and captivating to watch honestly, I just think it's a great idea

Okay, I think I caught a really cool detail at 00:30 That feminine figure that appears right before the main part of the song, in the Odyssey text, when the crew is in the underworld and spooky stuff starts to happen, they suspect is Persephone's doing, as she in ancient Greece was widely feared as a very scary queen of the dead type, I wonder if this feminine figure is a reference to that If it is this is very very cool!
