EURYLOCHUS
Captain!
Captain!
Captain!

ODYSSEUS
We must move quickly, we don't have much time
He didn't notice I mixed lotus in his wine
Mark my words now, this is not the end

EURYLOCHUS
But captain, what'll we do with our fallen friends?

ODYSSEUS, ODYSSEUS & SOLDIERS
Remember them
When the fire begins to fade
For the fallen and afraid
We are not to let them die in vain
Remember them
We're the ones who carry on
The flames of those who've gonе
And our comrades will not die in vain

ODYSSEUS
I need all our hands on his club
This is how we'rе getting out of here
Use your swords to sharpen the stub
And turn it to a giant spear

SOLDIERS
Let's kill him!

ODYSSEUS
His body is blocking the path
If we kill him we'll be stuck inside

EURYLOCHUS
Captain, where do we attack him?

ODYSSEUS
We gotta stab him in the eye

SOLDIERS
Yes sir
Remember them
When the fire begins to fade
For the fallen and afraid
We are not to let them die in vain

ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS
Remember them
We're the ones who carry on
The flames of those who've gone
And our comrades will not die in vain

ODYSSEUS
Now!
Scatter!

CYCLOPES
Who hurts you?

EURYLOCHUS, spoken
There are more of them?

CYCLOPES
Who hurts you?

ODYSSEUS, spoken
Hide

CYCLOPES
Who hurts you?

EURYLOCHUS
Captain, we should run

ODYSSEUS
Wait

CYCLOPES
Who hurts you?

EURYLOCHUS
Captain, please

ODYSSEUS
Wait

POLYPHEMUS
It was Nobody, Nobody

CYCLOPES
If nobody hurts you, be silent

POLYPHEMUS
Don't go!

ODYSSEUS
Let's grab the sheep and away we go

ATHENA
Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?
He's still a threat until he's dead
Finish it

ODYSSEUS, spoken
No

ATHENA, spoken
No?

ODYSSEUS
What good would killing do
When mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use
My friend is dead, our foe is blind
The blood we shed, it never dries
Is this what it means to be a warrior of the mind?

ATHENA, spoken
Don't!

ODYSSEUS
Hey, Cyclops!
When we met, I led with peace
While you fed your inner beast
But my comrades will not die in vain

Remember them
The next time that you dare choose not to spare
Remember them
Remember us
Remember me

I'm the reigning king of Ithaca
I am neither man nor mythical
I am your darkest moment
I am the infamous
Odysseus

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.
