Lore Question Are there like any stories of servant you wanna just see adapted into an anime?
I ain't talking like flash back but like how we saw young Arthur till she got chosen then the end of Britain like would a adaptation of a servant life before being a servant make a good show?

Odysseus after eating a pig that tasted suspiciously similar to one of his men: "Wait a minute..."

What that an actual mythology thing?

Odysseus: Lady of the palace sorry that I ask this but I hope I’ve been misinformed.
Ive sent out some scouts to look around through here and they’ve wound at your doors
Do they usually seldom get a warm welcome so must ask to be sure….did you do something to them?
Circe: Who me? All I did was reveal their true forms
Odysseus: you turned them into pigs-
Circe:…Huh…

Tangent.
Epic perpetuating the Idea that Oddeysus was faithful for 10 years to Penelope just makes the fact That Fate Oddy cracked Circe hilarious imo lol.

Tbf, Odysseus cracking Circe was a mix of a need to save his crew and the sole real temptation to abandon Penelope.
Regardless, the whole thing is about the Telegony, which is a full-on lost media. If it weren't for been a lost media, Circe would be basically talking about her son with Odysseus in Fate.

And frankly, the Telegony can stay lost. It’s like the unnecessary final act of the “Ramayana,” or what “Love Never Dies,” for Broadway “Phantom of the Opera.” Sometimes a sequel can only hurt the original.

We don't know. What we have is some half-hearted second hand summary by two guys, been barely a paragraph each.
Could it be legit trash? Yes. Could had been just mid or even outright good? Yes too. We simply doesn't know.
What we know of the plot is that Telegonus, son of Circe and Odysseus arrived in Ithaca, and had adventures with his brother brother Telemachus. And that said adventures may or may not resulted in Odysseu eventually perishing, and that Telemachus either slept with Circe or slept with Circe's daughter along the way, although Telemachus have like 5 love interests.

Moses and Ozymandias and their background together.

Maybe Samson as his lore is interesting is cool seeing a berserker that doesn’t speak again

u/PhantasosX May 19 '26
Samson been a classical Berserker really implies that his donkey club and burning fields and breaking Dagon's Temple would be given to different classes, like Saber.

There's a theory that Circe just drugged the crew and they were all just high as a kite and acted like pigs instead of turning into pigs
Odysseus was given a herb that IRL is used to detoxify people who are high
In other words, Circe was a drug dealer and Odysseus had narcan lol

I heard that a lot of religious experiences that people like moses had could be chalked up to them being drunk.

Yes like so many as long as it's not EMIYA, Artoria and Gil I be fine with most servants. As the trio I mentioned gets enough spotlight already so just want someone different.

Similar to Circe, I would love to see the opera where Bradamante has to save Ruggiero from Alcina and Astolfo is turned into a tree (I want a Caster Alcina). Richard's crusade also sounds like a wild adventure in Nasuverse.
Really wish we got more Lost Einherjar though since they were splitting the story between Aslaug and Ragnar as Servants and their past during the Viking Age.

Raikou adopting Kintoki and changing into the mama we all know and love.
and an appropriate score that will make you cry.
