'''''Epic: The Musical''''' (stylized as '''''EPIC''''') is a nine-part series of [[concept album]]s with music and lyrics by Jorge [[Rivera-Herrans]]. A [[sung-through]] adaptation of [[Homer]]'s ''[[Odyssey]]'' inspired by [[musical theater]], it tells the story of [[Odysseus]] as he tries to [[Returns from Troy|return from Troy]] to [[Homer's Ithaca|Ithaca]] after the ten-year-long [[Trojan War]]. Along the way, he must face gods and monsters that attempt to prevent him from returning to his wife, [[Penelope]], and his son, [[Telemachus]].
 
Taking inspiration from diverse sources, the series makes use of various musical genres and narrative techniques derived from anime, video games, and theater. The musical gained popularity in 2021 through social media such as [[TikTok]], and faced production troubles due to multiple lawsuits between the creator and record company. It has received praise from reviewers for the emotional depth and narrative complexity it exhibits through its musical format.
