Eurylochus and Darling

(Based on shaped into a point and purpose by nambi)

[ravenlikesbooks]

I think the thing I love about Mutiny is that sure, Eurylochus is angry. Absolutely furious. The way he spits out "captain" gives me chills.

But that's really not the point.

He says "tell me you did not know that would happen, tell me you didn't know how that would end" and "use your wits to try and say I'm crazy and mad, that this is all some trick the gods have sent." And those absolutely sound sarcastic and mad. But they aren't, not fully.

Eurylochus is well and truly begging, for the first and only time. Please, captain, tell me what I know isn't true. Lie to me, try to gaslight me into thinking you made some horrible mistake. Use your gift of persuasion to make me believe, just for a second, that I'm wrong. Don't say the words I know are true, that I know you'll say. Tell me you didn't miss home so painfully bad, that you gave up the lives of six of our friends.

Say something, please.

And Odysseus says "I can't"

ClosureAU! (Zeus and Eurylochus)

The AU finally has a name, it's called Closure for the lyrics of "keep your friends close" when Aeolus says: 'Now they wanna get the bag open so they can have closure' 🙏

context of the "I will kill Odysseus"

Basically Zeus made a "deal" with Eurylochus, in which Zeus would take Odysseus from Calypso's island and taking him back to his home in exchange for Eurylochus staying with him on Olympus

Zeus often manipulates Eurylochus by telling him that if he thinks of leaving Odysseus would have to go back to Calypso, Eurylochus doesn't want that to happen, he made the deal bc he thought that for once in his life he could do something good for his captain/brother in law and Zeus takes advantage of his weakness for Odysseus

Blood warning

Eurylochus after Circe Saga and during the Thunder Saga

He gains Polites' headband during the song "Monster" after Odysseus throws it.

I want someone to do one of those “characters react to their media” fanfics with Epic, purely because I need to see Odysseus and the Uncles Crew freaking out about Telemachus during “Legendary”

Singing-Telemachus: “Give me sirens and a cyclops, give me giants and a hydra,”

Crew: “NOOO! NO!”

Eurylochus: “Nephew, what is WRONG with you?!”

Odysseus: “You are never leaving your room EVER”

Telemachus, who has never had a father figure: “Guys I was just bemoaning my daddy issues, I was exaggerating 😅”

spoilers for love in paradise btw

ok so I normally listen to music with mono audio on because I usually just have one earbud in, but

oh my gods. the cliff part of love in paradise. and I have Eurylochus in my right ear and Polites in my left ear and Anticlea above me and I am SOBBING!!!

and thought. I know this is entirely a coincidence but! Eurylochus is in the right because right hand man and Polites is in the left because that's the side your heart is on.

when odysseus says (sings) “i’m just a man”, it’s him pleading with a god, it’s him trying to explain that he does not have the strength to do this awful thing that’s being demanded of him. he’s just a man, he cannot bear to do something so terrible, he hasn’t the ruthlessness

when eurylochus says “i’m just a man”, it’s back at odysseus. not to a god, but to another man - a man who is barely man anymore, morphed into a monster. he’s trying to appeal to ody’s humanity, he’s trying to remind ody that he’s just a man too. he has a life, he has a home, and he’s so, so tired

odysseus uses it to try and absolve himself of doing something terrible (killing the child). eurylochus uses it to try and rationalise him doing something terrible (killing the cattle)

something something humanity and brothers and parallels and oh, i am so sad about them

[restlesskeychains]

I imagine Ctimene is a really outdoorsy kid and Odysseus is just like nuh uh you can’t come ur my annoying little sister

Also yay I have a ctimene design now :D

Wanted to draw to of my faves together, got into Epic recently and really liked Eurylochus.

I think something we see in Mutiny is that…the rest of the crew has given up?

Odysseus does a lot of things throughout the story, struggles and suffers no doubt, but he never give up hope. It’s definitely fueled by desperation, but there’s never a doubt in his mind that he won’t get home. He sacrifices the six men because he knows it’s the only way the other 37 can get home.

When the rest of the crew rebels against Odysseus, they don’t see the sacrifice as hope. They don’t see it as a necessary evil. They see it as Odysseus giving up. At least Eurylochus does. Why else would he get so mad?

So they give up too. Sail until they find the next island and they don’t even care that holy cattle are there. They were never going to make it home, right? They were always going to die out here. Might as well kill the cattle and die fed. But Odysseus doesn’t think that. He still believes they will get home. That’s why he tries so hard to stop them from doing it.

Zeus made Odysseus choose who would live. But was it really a choice at all? The rest of his crew were already dead. They died in Scylla’s lair.

AU where Eurylochus gets to go home

Eury-ly-thought-you-ate

[sydneyofalltrades]

y’all, don’t imagine that when multiple people go into the underworld they see different things based on their relationship with a person/group of people.

don’t think for a second that while odysseus was wracked with guilt about not being able to persuade poseidon, eurylochus is getting his own wave of guilt over being pushed to open the bag.

don’t try to envision the second in command hearing screams of the crew members who goaded him on, asking him to open a bag of winds they thought was treasure.

don’t think eurylochus doesn’t get punished like odysseus does.
