ATHENA
Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?

ODYSSEUS
Athena!

ATHENA
Have you forgotten to turn off your heart? This is not you
I see you changing from how I've designed you
Have you forgotten your purpose? Let me remind you
Goddess of wisdom, master of war
My life has one mission: create the greatest warrior

I had a challenge, a test of skill
A magic boar only the best could kill
One day a boy came for the thrill
A boy whose mind rivalled the boar's own will

ODYSSEUS
Let's go!

ATHENA
Maybe one day he'll follow me
And we'll make a greater tomorrow, then they'll see
I know he'll change the world
'Cause he is a warrior of the mind
Maybe one day I'll reach him
And we can build his skills as I teach him
If there's a problem, he'll have the answer
He is a warrior of the mind

ODYSSEUS
Show yourself
I know you're watching me
Show yourself
I can see you

ATHENA
How can you see through my spell?

ODYSSEUS, spoken
Haha! I was lying and you fell for my bluff
Hahahaha

ATHENA
Well done, enlighten me, what's your name?

ODYSSEUS
You first, and maybe I'll do the same

ATHENA
Nice try, but two can play this game

ODYSSEUS, ENSEMBLE
Nah, don't be modest
I know you're a goddess
So let's be honest
You are Athena (Athena)
Badass in the arena
Unmatched, witty, and queen of
The best strategies we've seen

ATHENA
If you're looking for a mentor, I'll make sure your time's well spent

ODYSSEUS
Sounds like a plan
Goddess and man
Bestest of friends

ATHENA
We'll see where it ends

ODYSSEUS
Okay

ATHENA
Maybe one day they'll follow me and we'll

BOTH
Make a greater tomorrow, then they'll see
I know we'll change the world
'Cause we are the warriors of the mind
Maybe one day we'll reach them
And we can build their skills as we teach them
If there's a problem, we'll have the answer
We are the warriors of the mind

ATHENA
I still intend to make sure you don't fall behind
Don't forget that you're a warrior of a very special kind
You are a warrior of the mind
Don't disappoint me

Biography

edit bio
The creator of the University of Notre Dame’s first ever original musical, Jorge Rivera-Herrans is a 22 year old composer, lyricist, and performer who graduated from Notre Dame in May of 2020. Raised in Dorado, Puerto Rico, Jorge grew up studying intensely for a life in medicine, but then switched during his first year at Notre Dame when he realized his passion was in musical theatre. After receiving backlash for the sudden change, Jorge teamed up with his professor, Matt Hawkins, to write Stupid Humans, a musical about a med school dropout who chases his dreams of becoming a songwriter. The musical debuted to a sold out run (including an extra show that sold out in 33 seconds) at the University of Notre Dame in February of 2019.

Now, while Stupid Humans (now titled My Heart Says Go) is being developed with The Goodman Theatre and with Apples and Oranges Arts, Jorge is writing his biggest project yet: EPIC, an adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.
