Lyrics:

[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, or me
What do you say?

[APOLLO]
Great

[HEPHAESTUS]
Very well

[APHRODITE]
Eh

[ARES]
Alright

[HERA]
Groovy

[ATHENA]
Bring it

[ENSEMBLE]
Apollo!

[APOLLO]
You all know I'm a fan of catchy songs
So with so many sirens gone, I think Ody's in the wrong

[ATHENA]
They were trying to do him worse
All he did was reimburse with them
Now they'll tread with caution first
To live another day and sing another verse

[APOLLO]
If that's true, release him

[ENSEMBLE]
Hephaestus!

[HEPHAESTUS]
Trust is not given, it's forged
Why should I give him my support?
He sacrificed his own cohort

[ATHENA]
Did you forget they failed to listen?
He was betrayed and then imprisoned
But if you make the right decision
He can still build a future with those who miss him

[HEPHAESTUS]
Fine, release him

[ENSEMBLE]
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!

[ENSEMBLE]
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

[ENSEMBLE]
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]
Eh

[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 feel shame?
No one beats me, no one wins my game!

[ZEUS & ENSEMBLE]
Thunder, bring her through the wringer
Show her I'm the judgement call
The one who makes her kingdom fall!

[ARES]
Is she dead?

[Instrumental]

[ATHENA]
Let him go, please
Let him go
