Honestly, if I was Odysseus I'd be PISSED.
He spent 10 years at war, away from his family. He finally gets out of it. There's a few set backs getting home but nothing out of the ordinary for an ancient greek adventurer. Finally, he's almost home, and gets the wind god to trap a storm in a bag so he can make it to his island without incident.
Then, four fucking feet from Ithica's shore, some stupid bitch opens the wind bag and blasts them right back to where they started. Now he's beefing with a god, and there's this witch trying to seduce and/or eat him, and he goes to the underworld to try fixing everything only to hear the worst possible news ever.
But he's got a plan. He's got a lead on which way to go. It's not a great path, but it's all he's got. And all it's going to cost him is six men. Awesome.
He gets through Scylla's layer. Which is a miracle in and of itself! Only for the entire crew to immediately turn against him, stab him, and sic Zeus on them after killing cows Ody literally told them not to touch. Now he's on some weird girl's island, stranded, without knowing where he is or how to build a boat and get home.
ngl, I would have given up by Circe. That's my new life now. Penelope doesn't exist anymore I'm married to Circe.
