In my head cannon, I imagine Athena telling the tale of this on a stage, with fog and lights surrounding, moving over to Odysseus commanding his men (a sort of stage performance). Feels like a The NeverEnding Story ;)

I hope you enjoy this quirky one :)

Always inspired by EPIC the musical, created by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. A master at his craft, I do look forward to more from him in the future.

Lyrics:


Let me tell you of the day
When victory turned their hearts astray
Fresh from Troy's triumphant fall
My clever hero lost it all
Watch now as the scene unfolds
As greed turns warriors into fools

Men of Ithaca stand tall!
These Cicones soon will fall
Rich with spoils from Trojan lands
Yet more lies waiting for our hands
One more battle, one more prize
Before we turn toward home's sweet skies

Oh, how pride can blind the wise
As they raid beneath dawn's rise
Taking gold and taking lives
While distant horses sound their cries
For reinforcements gather now
As my hero takes his bow

Take the city, claim its gold!
Show them what Greek arms can hold!
Every house and every store
Will fill our ships with something more
Before we sail for homes we miss
Just one more raid for glory's kiss

But they lingered far too long
While wine and greed made them headstrong
Till horsemen came in countless hordes
To claim back what was never yours
Now watch as fate turns cruel and cold
As price for being much too bold

Fall back men! The tide has turned!
A harder lesson must be learned!
To ships! To ships! While some still stand
Before we stain this foreign sand
With blood that should have sailed for home
Instead of choosing here to roam

Six men from every ship were lost
The first of many countless costs
That pride would claim before the end
As homeward hopes began to bend
The first step on a longer road
That twenty years of wandering showed

And so began our hero's tale
When victory made his judgment fail
Remember well what happened there
When triumph made them cease to care
The day that set their journey's course
When glory turned to deep remorse
