Eurylochus: Ody, you gotta stop.. with this "pissing off the gods" thing—

Odysseus: Miss me with that gay shit

Eurylochus: WHAT GAY SHIT, THE LAW!??!?

[itsvioletevergarden29]

Kings have Honor: Odysseus

Soldiers have Bravery: Eurylochus

And poets have Heart: Polites

But all I have is Rage: Ctimene

Imagine Odysseus tells Ctimene the truth about how Eurylochus died. I can't imagine that would go over super well. People seem to agree that it would be more likely he would lie, but it would be way more fun for my drama and angst obsessed soul if he didn't.

Oh imagine he tells her the truth and she starts screaming at him calling him a liar (my headcanon is that he promised Mene that he would bring her husband back) and a murderer and he's standing there like "ok maybe I should've just come up with some other story" but it's too late to take it back.

Ctimene with bright eyes and a wide smile and a longing heart : Where is he? Where is the man who took me to wife? Where is he? Where is he? Where is the man for whom I stayed alive, cause it's been twenty years, and I've been waiting, waiting WAITING -

What’s going on with Eurylocus is so interesting and raw that it makes me insane. Like to put it in simple words Odysseus has put him on a roller coaster ride of faith and he is just exhausted. But even though they’ve both messed up, and he’s tried to believe in Ody even after everything (because he clearly feels guilty about the bag). But he just can’t anymore, he can’t just take his word, because for all of Odysseus brilliance and strategy and battle knowledge, he is all trickery all the time. He’s a guiled hero, his greatest weapon is using his cunning and deceiving enemies. When someone lies so much it’s hard to trust, even when you know it’s probably for a reason that may be beneficial.

Am I the only epic fan who doesnt really get the storyline? Like some of it makes sense but other times i see posts that are like oh that time when agcrolus tells polites it'll be okay breaks my heart because it parallels Odysseus' relationship with eurylochus in the scene on the beach and the bond that they have- and I'm over here like ?? What beach? Who is agcrolus? When did that happen? And even if I replay the song people are talking about explicitly, I still don't figure out what they're talking about. like I'll listen so closely and don't know who that character is or when that conversation is or anything. I'm completely lost

Also I made up the name agcrolus so that anyone reading this would also be as lost as I am, to make my point. I don't know if anyone will be confused by that but I want to clear that up

Somebody should write a parody of Suffering but with Eurylochus and siren!Ctimene

[odysseus-of-ithaka]

HELLO. CAN I PLEASE KIDNAP EURYLOCHUS?

– 🐀

WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN??? NO??? UNLESS HE’S COOL WITH IT I GUESS???

[cr4zy-cycl0n3]

Thankfully didn’t happen in the Wisdom Saga but. But imagine. During Charybdis. He’s screaming Full Speed Ahead. And there’s the harmony of the crew at the beginning but as he rows harder and harder to escape the crew fades until it’s just him screaming into the open sea.

Or yk it’s just him screaming it by himself, no backing vocals or nothin the whole time, just the instruments and rushing waters

Either way I’d sob like a baby and it 100% sounds like something Jorge would do

Odysseus has a habit of looking to Eurylochus for things (see: ‘Eurylochus get the harpoons’ ‘Eurylochus go make sure this island is secure’ and ‘Eurylochus light up six torch-)

Anyways

If Odysseus at some point in Act 2 turns around to ask for something from his second in command and realises he’s not there anymore I’m going to curl up in a ball and cry.

Ctimene and Eury ❤️ The princess and the corps- :D

I'm so slow guys, I just realized no one on Odysseus' crew realized they were going into the lair of Scylla. They just thought it was the safe way home their captain learned about from the sirens.

They seriously never saw it coming.

While it was actually another member of the crew that stabs Ody (Hence why he says "My brothers" the way he does. He was actually getting the upper hand on Eur in the fight, if I recall.) Eurylocus was so wrong and he was the one who had been "sowing seeds of doubt" literally since before he even OPENED THE BAG OF WIND.

Someone on Tiktokt tried telling me "Um, its actually more nuanced than that" despite the fact that Eurylocus has actively been sowing these doubts since before Polites even died. He and Odysseus notoriously don't agree and he gets a lot more upset about that than Ody typically does.

It almost feels like Eurylocus is trying to take Ody's place. He is, after all, Odysseus's actual brother in law, and even blood brothers tend to do this, usurp one another. It wouldn't shock me if, after 12 years of having to take Odysseus's orders and being second in command and Odysseus still tending to prefer Polites opinions on things, etc. There's a lot to that that would create a slight bitterness, but add the horrors they've all been through. I genuinely think it made Eurylocus lose his mind. He can't even stay hidden from a gaggle of giant cyclops (not Giants, specifically bc those are their own entity in Greek mythology, closely related to the Titans) without wanting to run. No one but Eurylocus was trying to urge Odysseus to run.

He has been almost sabotaging the entire trip back, but more specifically, trying to sabotage the mens views of Odysseus.

Because notice despite his fear and wanting to run, he was still much louder than Odysseus, when urging him to run. As if he wanted the whole crew to hear him, whereas Odysseus is whispering whispering. Ya know, so no one hears them. As if to signal to the crew "I care about us and want us to run so we make it out alive while Odysseus just sits and waits."

But if Odysseus had listened, they'd all have been killed by all the cyclops.

Eurylocus very clearly shows he doesn't value Odysseus's wit, constantly saying that thats what will get them killed, but then the first time Odysseus takes a page from Eurylocus's handbook, suddenly theres a mutiny and then the entire crew dies, including Eurylocus.

It's almost as if he desperately coveted Odysseus and his position, but when it came down to it, he couldn't even come close to the kind of leader Odysseus is.

I also think Eurylocus is not very smart. Everyone is starving, so why is it only you who's being this extreme, Eurylocus? He tainted that whole crew, AND ONE MORE POINT SPEAKING OF

None of the rest of the crew even knows all the stunts Eurylocus has pulled that have gotten over 500 men killed OR that Eurylocus wanted to leave everyone behind. While Ody hinted at it in their fight "You would have done the same" he NEVER actually outs Eurylocus to the crew about ANYTHING Eurylocus has done. They all died thinking Odysseus was a great traitor, when it was really Eurylocus.

But that's just my opinion and I'm sure it's just so much more nuanced than that.
