a commission for an Epic: The musical parody song

[izurukamukura]

I think my favorite part is that the calendar says the entire month is Telemachus's birthday

[justboxx]

"Bite! Little Wolf, Bite!" –
The suitors encouraging Telemachus to eat the cake Antinous made

[cordyceps]

Devilish. Making the prince see you as a father figure.

[Nightymoon]

Suitors' new tactic: Be a father for the prince so Penelope softens.

[Poseidonn]

Athena being invited to the bday is actually cute af

[noamaritjackson]

My favourite part is "if the Prince wanders what his gift is, only his mother and I will know." with the image of the badly wrapped harp. It is just so pure

[freddy]

Spoiler his present is his dad, they found Odysseus being escorted back home by the gracious sea god Poseidon and greeted him back with open arms and decided to surprise Telemachus on his birthday

[lordhades]

Acting as a father figure while my real dad has been MIA for years? That certainly would've worked on me.

[Poseidonn]

* mischievous laugh * im gonna be a good father figure and bring happiness to this boy and show him love on his birthday by making myself his fav cake and preparing a surprise * evil laugh * I’m so diabolical

[whattwowhat]

This version says "whatchu going to do about it, Champ?" as sincere motivation.

[jrflemdog]

All of a sudden he hears a scream from the courtyard. And then a whisper. "You dont think i remembered my son's birthday? I built him!"

[yanghyungoo]

Gift: * Obviously a poorly wrapped harp *
Antonius: If the prince wonders what the gift is, only his mother and I will know!
Telemachus: I wonder what it is!

[daviding]

If I were Odysseus, I'd be worried!

[animationfromkaitlyn]

This is the most villainous birthday song ever I love it 😂

[mackenziesemple]

After listening to the Vengeance saga, I like to imagine a universe where THAT Odysseus comes home to the suitors throwing his son a party and he's just standing there all bloody and ready for a fight that is NOT coming.

[velishasolon]

When happy birthday song wasnt invented yet so the suitors instead went with wonky happy-evil vibes on accident 😂

[caitlinb]

i hope david ing and dan osborn know how many people now permanently listen to the official version feeling like something is off because it's not telemachus' birthday SLKDFKSJ

[drcubeface]

"TIME TO KILL THE PRINCE"
"oh btw sir it's telemachus's birthday"
"...you know what we can delay the plan by a week or two"

[uruphina]

I LOVE HOW HE SOUNDS LIKE HES PLANNING TO KILL HIM WHEN HES LITERALLY JUST THROWING HIM A BIRTHDAY PARTY🤣

[fate]

After listening to the actual Hold Them Down…
Yeah… I freakin needed this 😭
