[Athena] 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!
[Zeus] 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
[Athena] Who's them?
[Zeus]Apollo
Hephaestus
Aphrodite
Ares
Hera
And me
What do you say?
[Apollo] Great
[Hephaestus] Very well
[Aphrodite] Eh
[Ares] Alright
[Hera] Groovy
[Athena] Bring it
[Choir] Apollo
[Apollo] Y’all know I am fan of catchy songs
So with so many sirens gone
I think gold is in the wrong
[Athena] they were trying to do him worse
All he did was re-inverse them
And now they’ll tread in caution first
To live another day and sing another verse
[Apollo] If that’s true, release him
[Choir] Hephaestus
[Hephaestus] trust is not given as force
Why should I give him my support
He sacrificed his own cohort!
[Athena] did you forget or 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
[Hephaestus]fine. Release him
[Choir] Aphrodite
[Aphrodite]Your little high and mighty Odysseus
Claims to love his mother
But let her die of a broken heart
[Athena] He was busy fighting
[Aphrodite] More like busy spiting the cyclops
Let him feel the pain that his mother felt and rot
[Athena]Wait, please reconsider this
[Ares] Really Athena? These old tricks?
[Athena] Ares!
[Choir] 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 upfront
Pathetic and weak like his son
[Athena] 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
[Aphrodite & Ares] Ugh, release him
[Hera] Hey baby
[Choir] Hera
[Hera] So many heroes, So many tales
Give me one good reason why yours should prevail
[Athena] He’s got the mind of a genius
[Hera] Try harder
[Athena] He’s pretty skilled with words
[Hera] You can do better than that
[Athena] He’s kind of funny
[Hera] hmmmmm
[Athena] Never once has he cheated on his wife
[Hera] Release him
[Athena] I’ve played your game and won!
Release him
[Zeus] You dare to defy me
To make me be shamed
No one beats me
No one wins my game!
[Choir & Zeus] Thunder bring her through the wringer!
Show her I’m the judgement call
The one who makes her kingdom fall!
[Apollo] Is she dead?
[Athena] let him go, please
Let him go
