I absolutely love that the thing that convinces Hera is how Odysseus has never cheated on Penelopy, because we all know the most famous aspect of her own husband.
She was also the goddess of women and (i think) marriage and fertility. She cared a lot about whether or not someone cheated on their wife, and would condemn those that did. She had also never cheated on her husband, zeus, who had, and zeus had multiple children; not with Hera.
โ@@gr4ysonw4yne maybe if he ever gets out of the doghouse or stops being exiled to the couch... you can't tell me Hera wasn't the one who created those punishments lol
My idea is, as heras singing, the other gods are grooving in the backround with Hephaestus just standing in the corner sipping from a red cup (you've seen movies) and the cheating remark made him spit his drink
I'll admit I was worried when I heard Hera saying "groovy" in the first snippet, but I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ๐ Bow down to the groovy queen!!!
Athena standing by Odysseus it's why they're my favorite duo. I lowkey hope for a moment with "O: I'm in need of mentor" "A: I just missed my old friend"
Ten months later but, at the end if the Odyssey it's Athena who stops the the suitors families from taking revenge and basically tells them to cut the crap... A reconciliation could fit there!
Fun fact: he did. He had also had totally 17 children: 3 with Penelope, 9 with Circe, 2 with Calypso and 3 with 3 other lovers. Although for Odysseus defense, this information about his children are coming from writers centuries after Homer's poems and many of them are just variations of the myth
โ@@dudeeee2015 Yup. Telegonus accidentally killed him- wasn't his fault though. Odysseus was kinda insane at the time... and Telegonus just wanted to meet his dad
The fact that she calls Telemachus her friend (he's who she's doing it for, not Odysseus) is really funny to me because like "OH, I see, NOW you're looking for a friend?!"
I love how Hera heard that he never cheated on his wife and let him GO! Hera will do anything for someone you doesn't go to be with random people unlike Zeus.
@@AryaTheHivewing It's literally one of the oldest books/stories in the world, if not THE oldest.. Homer wrote The Iliad (story of the Trojan war and Achilles) and The Odyssey, which is the story of a Greek general during the Trojan war (essentially the end of the Trojan war is the beginning of The Odyssey) and his 10 year journey back home to the Kingdom of Ithaca. The King/general's name is Odysseus - hence where the word odyssey comes from (meaning "a long and eventful journey"). Through the story we learn of Odysseus' past as a friend/student of Athena. He ends up cheating on his wife several times throughout the story. He fails a test Athena set up so that Zeus would allow him to return home sooner, he ends up pissing her off and she abandons him. It's also worth noting that the whole reason Odysseus is even stuck traveling back home for 10 years is because, as a student of Athena and the killer of Hector's innocent son, he pissed of Poseidon, who ended up sending massive storms to keep him away from home.
Hera is my favorite Greek Goddess for sure. Times like this I wish I could sing.. and had TikTok lol. I'm sure the va has been found by now but GL to whoever gets to play Hera!
I love how it took less than five sentences to convince Hera. I feel like the only reason Zeus put her up at five was because HE would have trouble convincing her, not Athena. He's seriously underestimated his daughter lmfao (and overestimated his capacity to placate his wife smh)
Acccctuallllllyyyyyy๐ in lots of the tales of odysseus(especially the one I read) he willingly sleeps with another woman on his way home from the Trojan war. Sleeps with a goddess for 10 years on an island(reluctantly but thatโs because he wants to go home lol)And when reading the book, majority of the time he doesnโt think of this wife he thinks of his city and sometimes his son๐ฅฒ
I DIDN'T KNOW PEOPLE WERE ACTIVELY AUDITIONING FOR THIS AS ITS COMING OUT!!!! I might be too young but if another part comes out, I'm gonna shoot my shot ๐คฉ Also this song sounds AMAZING! I can't wait to hear it all
To be fair, if it werenโt for Zeus interfering with his life, that wouldnโt have happened. So even more of a reason for Hera to be mad at Zeus. He made the one of the faithful men in all of Greece double cross.
love the instrument Hera is based off of, it sounds very traditional and even though the upbeat groovyness of her vocals and backing vocals kinda cover it up, the instrument in itself sound almost melancholy. Iโd love to know what the name of the instrument is! It sounds like either a flute or a violin lol
Calypso wasn't exactly a choice of his, either stay stuck on the island or have a chance at leaving. Circe though 100% but honestly at this point it's just nice to hear that him, Penelope and Talamachus are all together again.
Pretty sure that they both wereโฆ off. Calypso forced him, as he just wanted to go home and told her multiple times heโs married. Circe was a witch, so I want to say she probably wasnโt fully honest to Odysseus. And Circe was holding the safety of his men
THIS SOUNDS SO INCREDIBLE ALREADY! Cannot wait for the final results! Aah I wish I could do Hera's voice but the type you need I'm not soo good at. I can do a energetic confident belting voice and a soft yet steady high pitched oneโค๏ธ Recently obsessed with the Rick Riordan world, so very excited for this song release, gonna be epic!โค๏ธโจ๏ธ
I am so excited for the songs to come out. I listen to them for a while I know almost every song by heart now. Please please please continue to make great songs like these, for I can sing to. Also, thank you for all your work and I canโt wait to hear whatโs next.

"Never once has he cheated on his wife." I love how Athena adapts her strategies to fit who she's up against.
Thatโs how she rolls
A few years ago I played in a play of the travels of Odysseus, and I was distraught when I was casted to play as all of penelope's suiters
@@ShayTheGreen that rough ๐ฌ
Yeah but she done LIED! Odysseus slept with both Circe AND Calypso according to the book
@@thebumblebeemovie3514 sheโs lied before to get her way.
Everyone talking about the cheating part but can we appreciate Athena mentioned she considers Odysseus "kind of funny"?
I picture her kinda admitting it to herself, like "ok, fine, he was good", rolling her eyes and smiling
Has this song come out yet?
โ@@abjectmadness1111 this is a song in act 2, so... Not yet.

Not yet.

Athena And hera: *Singing To each other about Odysseus*
Odysseus: *Vibing To The song*

quite literally
When Hera says โrelease himโ I bet she was glaring daggers at Zeus, like wish you were more like him lol
Oh, definitely.

โ@@-Astrae-If I remember correctly she is the goddess of Marriage, Faith and Leadership.
Odysseus spent a whole year or so with Circe AND Calypso...and has a whole child with Circe...in Greek mythology.
How does he NOT cheat on his wife?
โ@@RaukWarrantXC the musical makes him more faithful than the book
Zeus should be embarrassed. Truly. Canโt wait to hear who nails Hera

@@marabuora9547 that's perfect!
In this, it's Telemachus that she's doing it for. She calls him her friend.
The fact that all Athena had to say was โhe never once cheated on his wifeโ for her to choose him got me rolling on the floor. ๐๐๐
Athena: Never once has he cheated on his wife. Hera: Zeus, you taking notes?
GET ANNAPATSU!!!!
Definitely , sheโd be super good at that !
I also suggest Annapantsu!
same
Yes!
I'm surprised this doesn't have more interaction.
Fun fact: he did. He had also had totally 17 children: 3 with Penelope, 9 with Circe, 2 with Calypso and 3 with 3 other lovers. Although for Odysseus defense, this information about his children are coming from writers centuries after Homer's poems and many of them are just variations of the myth
Those were not concentual though
Damn yo! 17 children and 9 of them from Circe! :o
Another fun fact! It was one of these other children that killed him. I think it was one of the ones he had with Calypso.
โ@@dudeeee2015 Yup. Telegonus accidentally killed him- wasn't his fault though. Odysseus was kinda insane at the time... and Telegonus just wanted to meet his dad
@@novascott1313 yeah, I did read it was an accident
Annapantsu would rock it
I genuinely thought that WAS her lmaoo
(If anyone could tell me who that actually is singing in this clip, that'd be awesome)
If Hera still hasn't been cast, I also volunteer Annapantsu as tribute
So Athenna admit he is funny?! YES!!!! "I am not looking for a friend"-Athenna, we see you~ Btw love the sound of the music!
The fact that she calls Telemachus her friend (he's who she's doing it for, not Odysseus) is really funny to me because like "OH, I see, NOW you're looking for a friend?!"
"Never once has he cheated on his wife."
"Release him."
i love that ๐
Why do I picture God Games as a song where Athena has to dance to the beat of every god she argues with until she convinces them to release Ody?
The change in Hera's voice combined with the way you look at the camera is gold
I think "This hero isn't a demigod son of Zeus?" Might've also worked ๐ it did for Jason
Yeah, so true, but that He has Not cheated was the ultimate Winning Argument!
I mean, he's a 1/8 god, a great-grandson of one of Zeus's kids with someone who isn't Hera, Hermes, so he's of unfaithful-Zeus descent.
Jay absolutely jamming out to this always gives me free serotonin oh my gosh lol
CrazyCae!! She would do awesome singing this!
Yes please choose her!!!!โคโค
I love Jays face when he mouths "release him"
I love how Hera heard that he never cheated on his wife and let him GO! Hera will do anything for someone you doesn't go to be with random people unlike Zeus.
I think the voice they used for hera in the short should her voice.
HERA IS PERFECT LMAO. Also the ROBE kjlsfhgkjsdhflsj JORGE ๐๐๐
Hera looks at Zeus saying, "He has more self-control than you. And your King of the Gods. What's up with that?"

Which I like tbh
He cheats on his wife with Circe and Calypso
ooooooooo
i love this and isttg the part where Athena is vouching for Odysseus and says "he's kind of funny"
Athena hitting them where it hurts good but we need all the God games in order level 1 to the final level we need just the whole thing here soon
