Father……god king
Rarely do I ask for favors
Now I’m knocking on your door with hopes to save
a friendship with one who’s a prisoner far from home
Odysseus!
Divine intervention, is that what you seek?
To untie apprehensions that were placed on that Greek?
You are playing with thunder for a man full of shame
But if he's worth the risk of going under, why not make it a game?
Convince each of them that he ought to be released, and I'll release him
Who's them?
Apollo
Hephaestus
Aphrodite
Ares
Hera
And me
What do you say?
Great
Very well
Eh
Alright
Groovy
Bring it
Apollo
Y’all know I am fan of catchy songs
So with so many sirens gone
I think Ody 's in the wrong
they were trying to do him worse
All he did was reinburse them
And now they’ll tread with caution first
To live another day and sing another verse
If that’s true, release him
Hephaestus
trust is not given, it's forged!
Why should I give him my support
He sacrificed his own cohort!
did you forget they fail to listen
He was betrayed and then imprisoned
But if you make the right decision
He could still build a future with those who miss him
fine. Release him
Aphrodite
Your little high and mighty Odysseus
Claims to love his mother
But let her die of a broken heart
He was busy fighting
More like busy spiting the cyclops
Let him feel the pain that his mother felt and rot
Wait, please reconsider this
Really Athena? These old tricks?
Ares!
Ares, Ares
What kind of sick coward
Holds back his power
While his friends get devoured?
He didn't even fight Scylla
Didn't even try to kill her
Hides inside a wooden horse to get the job done
Never handles things up front
Pathetic and weak like his son
Hold your tongue now!
His son's my friend!
And tell your lover that a broken heart can mend
You want more bloodshed?
Then set him free
To get back to his homestead, he'll make everybody bleed
Ugh, release him
Hey baby
Hera
So many heroes, So many tales
Gimme one good reason why yours should prevail
He’s got the mind of a genius
Try harder
He’s pretty skilled with words
You can do better than that
He’s kind of funny
hmmmmm
Never once has he cheated on his wife
Release him
I’ve played your game and won!
Release him
You dare to defy me
To make me be shamed
No one beats me
No one wins my game!
Thunder bring her through the wringer!
Show her I’m the judgement call
The one who makes her kingdom fall!
Is she dead?
let him go, please
Let him go
