Who is Hermes?

In honor of the Circe Saga coming out soon, I thought I would do a recap on who the new characters are, both in Epic, and in their original mythological context

First up, who is Hermes?

Hermes is the Greek god of messengers, travelers, thieves, and also helps out to guide souls in the underworld (along with much more)! The son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, Hermes is famous for as an infant, stealing the cattle of Apollo. Also he is sometimes credited with the invention of the lyre (which Apollo later becomes known for playing) In the Trojan was Hermes was on the side of the Greeks.

Later in the Odyssey he is the one to inform Odysseus of the fate his men met at the hands of Circe. He is also the one to give Odysseus Moly, the herb, and instructs him on how he might overpower and trick Circe. Later he was the messenger who instructs Calypso to release Odysseus.

Similarly in Epic the Musical, Hermes does not tell Odysseus of his companions fate, but he still does tell him about Moly, and how that can be used to stop Circe. This is in the second song of the Circe saga, Wouldn’t You like. Later, in the Vengeance Saga, he will return to tell Odysseus how he might get home, away from Calypso’s island of Ogygia, in the song Dangerous.

In short, both of his songs in Epic the Musical are bops, and extremely catchy. I can’t wait to hear the full versions!

You like EPIC: The Musical?! *appearing out of nowhere* :000000000

I love it too! Especially the Cyclops saga and the Ocean saga!

AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!🤩🤩🤩

Yeah! I do! I started listening to it from TikTok! I’m into some musical music!

And then I saw Jorge on my fyp explaining about his work and I took some interests. So I followed him. And YO! His music is BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING! OUTSTANDING!

I wish he would come out sooner during my high school time because I SUCK at history! No offense to the teachers but it’s kinda boring of how they teach.

And I hardly pay attention because of that or maybe I get distracted easily😅

But anyway, I’ve been listening to his work and it was BREATHTAKING! I just LOVE it!

So I’ve been following him ever since he created an account in TikTok! And I just LOVE it!

I love ALL of the Sagas that he created! And in case, you’re wondering of WHICH songs are my favorite in each Saga! I’ll LIST IT DOWN!

Troy Saga:

Open Arms

Warriors of the Mind

Cyclops Saga:

Polyphemus

My Goodbye

The Ocean Saga:

Ruthlessness (POSEIDON MY FAV!)

The Circe Saga:

Wouldn’t you like (HERMES MY OTHER FAV!)

Underworld Saga:

ALL THREE

And that’s about it! I can’t wait to see more of his wonderful work! And I am DYING to see the part of where the GODS will be coming in! (Bit of a SPOILER) That Athena will be going up against the judgement of the GODS to release Odysseus from Calipso!

I can’t WAIT! And I’m VERY happy to see another Epic: The Musical fan in here!

And to tell you guys, I WAS planning to share about COD x Epic: The Musical! Including some of my Mutuals OCs too! But it’s hard to see which ones fits. It will take time before I get to share some details about it!

So yeah! Very happy to see another fan of this WONDERFUL masterpiece! That is all! Thank you!🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

So I just listened to the Circe Saga. I didn’t listen to it on the Discord listening party, so I had wait until it was released onto Spotify haha. I literally kept checking Spotify over and over until it showed up. Should I be asleep? Yes. Do I care? No.

This is definitely like the dance party saga of EPIC. Like Puppeteer and Wouldn’t You Like are just begging listeners to get up and move I swear. And I can’t even dance lol.

With that being said, here are the songs ranked in my personal opinion.

1. Puppeteer - The entire part where Circe is singing is the best part. I don’t really know how to describe it because I’m tired, but I just liked this one a lot. I’d dance to this

2. Wouldn’t You Like - The Hermes Saga is required. That’s all I have to say. I would also dance to this one too.

3. There Are Other Ways - I liked it. I loved it when I heard Penelope’s little viola motif and stuff. I’m pretty sure it was the same one that was in The Horse and the Infant and at least the start of The Challenge. Odysseus’ verse reminds me a lot of Say No To This and Keep Your Friends Close for some reason haha. Also that ending like that is serious talent. Also when Circe goes “problem is this prophet is dead” and it just goes morbid lol. Like 👀😵‍💫

4. Done For - I’m gonna be completely honest. This one felt rushed. Not in a sense that Jay rushed the song, but the way the song conveys the events happening. That’s how it felt rushed. It felt like it went from the two fighting with their magical monsters to immediately Circe changing her tactics with no break. Like immediately after Odysseus goes “You’ve lost” Circe immediately starts her next tactic. I just felt like there could have been a pause there. Just a split second. I don’t really know.

Overall: Alright, so first I’m pretty sure by song length this saga is the shortest. Not at all bad, I just noticed that and I like to say what I notice. But I did feel like the saga was very quick and condensed, and this was kind of the first time I felt like the events in a saga were condensed. I feel like if these songs were performed live, there would be breaks in between the songs as scenes change, so it’d feel more natural I guess when the mood changes too.

P.S. Circe was def based on Madeline Miller Circe I feel like. Especially in the ending There Are Other Ways I feel. Idk, I get that vibe haha.

I know this review is pretty messy and rushed and obviously, these were my first opinions. They’ll probably change as I listen to the songs more so yeah. None of what I say is set in stone.
