No, but how can it be a choice for Odysseus? How can he possibly not choose to go home, when to do so he has seen hundreds of his friends die, has renounced his principles - which he defended in the face of a goddess - and has killed people in their beds, a child?

What Zeus gives is not a choice and he says so. It's just a quicker way to get to a set course of action

#the guilt he feels for the trojans should be analyzed also #not just astyanax #hope it's the right translation i'm used to the italian name #but for the sleeping trojans #he mentions them when he compares himself to the other monsters #did he kill an old man that could have been his father #did he slaughter a young wife so similar to penelope when he last saw her #epic #epic the thunder saga #epic the musical
