#Eurylochus' ghost watching Polites stab Poseidon until his arms go numb: D:

[randomciabatta724]

Imagine if Eurylochus was the one confronting Poseidon in Six-hundred Strike and, to show that he and Odysseus had opposite character arcs, he chose to spare Poseidon. Instead of stabbing him with his own trident, he gives him one last opportunity to end things somewhat peacefully and just go home. The crew's been avenged already, he doesn't need to go any further. Odysseus chooses Ruthlessness, and Eurylochus chooses mercy.

Cool concept, right?

Now pair that with Polites in the same situation having the worst crash out ever
