Living for wolfy's new hyperfixation

[magpeye]

Odysseus’ commenting on his witty wife 🥺 this man loves his wife

[apocalypse]

Oh, the feels. Oh, the foreshadowing. Patroclus asking Achilles if their deaths will mean anything, Odysseus toasting to witty women when you know he’s 10 years out from seeing Penelope. Speedy little Teucer next to the brother he was too late to save, Hector at the side of the brother whose actions will lead to both their deaths. I’ve been punched in the heart.

[MaggieJaneSimpson]

seeing Achilles and Patroclus makes my heart beat faster

[FunFilmFare]

Menelaus singing “pretty girls” and Odysseus singing “witty girls” is just PERFECT. Great video!

[marshy]

Currently crying over Andromache with Astyanax and Penelope at her loom with tiny Telemachus in the beginning, that parallel HURT

[mannylibiney]

Don't mind me I'm just crying about Achilles and Patroclus

[wimble]

FUN FACT! The person who sings ‘is your life just one more lie’, (Grantaire), was, in the original Les Miserables book, directly compared to Patroclus. THIS WORKS OUT SO WELL ADOJFNDSFH

[froggyfun]

Hadestown, DSMP,
The Illiad, Les Miserables, what gives you the right to pull me back into every hyperfixation I’ve ever had?

[red_supreme__.]

I sobbed so hard when Achilles sang in Patroclus embrace.. such a loving couple, yet they had a tragic end.. also Odysseus is talking about Penelope to his men because he is such a loving husband after all!

[vibechecker]

That’s a nice lovable relatable cast of characters we have here. It would be a shame IF THEY ALL DIED BRUTALLY (both Iliad and les mis)

Now we need wolfy to do empty chairs at empty tables as either Aeneas, Odysseus or one of the other survivors. Great animatic as usual, you are the gold standard for Epic. :)

[MangoPop]

Okay... Achilles is so cute with Patroclus... But also happy Odysseus singing about his wife is so adorable and makes the events of the Odyssey that much more depressing.

Also, I just love ur art style and will watch every one of ur Greek animatics as we hyperfixated on this together 😂

[emmyfortunecookie]

The impulsive urge to start reading the Iliad after watching this even though you KNOW it’s 24 books long 😭

[gigi]

A Les Mis x Illiad crossover was something I never thought I needed, but now that you made this I CRAVE MORE

[kwowka]

I thought I was free of my Greek mythology special interest but then wolfy drags me kicking and screaming back. I now know the entirety of epic: the musical. Thanks.

[Pixystixs]

IM SOBBING THE ACHILLIES AND PATROCLUS PART?!??

[Graycata]

That last bit with Paris and Hector up on the wall. With the amount of criticism Hector threw at Paris that shoulder pat hit hard

[RC-xlse]

"Here's to pretty girls who went to our head"
Not all of us started a war for it Menelaus!

[abigail]

the part that patroclus sings totally coincides with the story of Achilles. I want to cry, I'm already crying

[alicehodges]

The shot of Andromache and Astynax at the start just breaks my heart
