Hello friends! This is the first of two June Choice videos! The prompt for this one was:

“Are there any moments where you wished you'd changed something in the first 2 sagas but couldn't since they've already been released?”

This was a fun video to make because in finding a bunch of old clips from earlier drafts of EPIC, I was reminded of how far we as a community have come since this project started. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for your support throughout the years. Thank you for every comment, like, share, patreon subscription, discord hangout, everything. :)

Even though the released versions are superior, I still jammed out to the snippets. Thanks for answering the question!!

Very interesting video. Although it wouldn’t be a bad thing if Athena inspiring Odysseus was what the clock was hinting at â˜ș. I know not what you want but in the ancient conception of an Epic hero it wasn’t a lesser thing to have a god help you. For example in the duel between Achilles and Hector a modern audience might see Achilles as weaker since he couldn’t have won without Athena’s help. Athena literally keeps handing him back his spear when he misses Hector and loses it. A big reason he won was because of a god’s intervention and Hector was fighting alone. Same with Odysseus in the chariot race at Patroclus’ funeral games (can’t remember if he won, but Athena did wreck another’s chariot for him and he wouldn’t have ranked as highly without that - it was in retaliation of Apollo helping someone else 😂). We might think it detracts from their strength if their victory relied so heavily on a god’s intervention and not solely their own strength, but for an ancient audience only the strongest and cleverest of heros got a god’s help and so it was a sign of their superiority over everyone else not a weakness.
