"But we'll die" isn't a plea from Eurylochus. He already knows they are going to die ("Ody, we're never gonna get to make it home - you know it's true"). Killing the cow was him trying to provide a more comfortable death, a hope they at least survive the next crisis. (Unfortunately "the next crisis" is Zeus.)

Eurylochus isn't stupid. He is forcing Odysseus to say the quiet part out loud.

#I am unwell #also I love the changes between Epic and the original myth #Eurylochus isn't a cowardly caricature he's Just A Man #*just like his captain* :)#I do think they all had a sudden moment of clarity which is why ''Mutiny'' ends Like That rip #aka Eurylochus trusts Odysseus one more time just to realize their luck has truly run out #epic the musical #the thunder saga #epic the thunder saga #the odyssey
