Odysseus/Crew vs. Cyclops pt. 2 -- Song 7: Survive
Added 2022-06-02 00:39:05 +0000 UTCHERE'S THIS MONTH'S EARLY ACCESS VIDEO! In this snippet, the battle between Odysseus + crew. and the cyclops, Polyphemus, continues!
One of my favorite things to write in EPIC is Odysseus's battle tactics. It's so fun to see his mind in action as he figures out his opponents and develops strategies in songs like this one, The Horse and the Infant, Charybdis, etc. This is also the first major boss battle in the show and I'm very excited that it's such a large scale fight.
The electric guitar goes crazy as Odysseus unleashes an all-out strategic attack on Polyphemus, capitalizing on his weaknesses. The crew gets a moment to shine too, as we see them dealing combo attacks on Polyphemus. The usage of triplets in this song foreshadows Odysseus's inner ruthlessness, which we'll see much more of in Act 2.
