EPIC fans: what else was Odysseus supposed to do?! Scylla was the only way home!!

Me, an intellectual: there WAS a way for Odysseus and crew to get past Scylla without one crew member dying. They previously had a bunch of Sirens at their mercy, so if they so wished, they could have used six sirens to satisfy Scylla’s price.

After all…ruthlessness (to others) is mercy upon ourselves

#this is partially a joke #but also y’all need to quit being weird about complex characters #Odysseus isn’t perfect and he sure as hell was not in the right in scylla or mutiny #Eurylocus made mistakes too and that’s what makes him interesting #Funny how it’s all “he’s just a man! 🥺” until suddenly it ISNT odysseus who is “just a man-ing”#Eurylocus is just a man too and I love him for it <3 #I would hug and punch both of them (Odysseus more so the latter but he also deserves a godsdamn hug)#save my men they did all that but one doesn’t deserve to be woobified and the other hated #anyway. I’ve been rambling ^-^#ramblings of an oracle #epic: the musical #epic: the thunder saga #epic the musical #epic the thunder saga #epic odysseus #epic eurylochus #also odysseus is still the monster rawr rawr rawr with this idea lol
