Epic: The Musical is an in-progress concept album and loose adaptation of The Odyssey. It is written/composed by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, who began the project in 2019 but first posted about it to the public in 2021.

Production is ongoing, and completed songs are released on story-arc clusters called "Sagas" while incomplete demos (usually sung by Rivera-Herrans himself) are released on Rivera's social media accounts. Notably, the project garnered popularity through TikTok, where Rivera initially released the songs. After gaining a sizeable following, he was able to engage in more professional production, including hiring voice actors/singers for other characters, leaving him to voice Odysseus.

The album/musical is planned to have Two Acts, with twenty songs each. Songs are partitioned into "Sagas," with Act One containing five Sagas and Act Two containing four. As of this writing, Sagas 1-5 are released,
