have you ever thought about how out of all the gods/powerful people Odysseus has met throughout epic, Circe is the only one who respected his no

This genuinely just stopped me in my tracks and caused me to stop breathing for about 5 seconds. No, Fluffy, I have not thought of this. What the fuck. Circe is also the only powerful being he met that encouraged the good in Odysseus

#think about it!#athena wanted him to kill the cyclops. poseidon wanted him to embrace ruthlessness. hermes helped him ges but it was #all a game to him. calypso wanted him to forget his wife and be with her. several powerful beings wanted to kill him #zeus tormented him and made him choose to kill a helpless infant and men he cared about to save himself and his family #it was only circe that went 'ive been burned before but you seem good. you seem to care. you obviously love your wife. you know #what? i choose kindness. in the hopes you will too and it will spread. i respect you Odysseus of Ithica i hope this good deed of #mine has a ripple effect of good through all you meet' and then later learning that poseidon fucking ruined it all #god Odysseus doesnt wven know what athena whent through for him #flufffyyyyyy #liv answers #ask #a fluffy potato #epic the musical #fuuuuck #CIRCE ACCEPTED NO SHE ACCEPTED HIS BOUNDARUES SHE RESPECTED HIM NO ONE ELSE DID FUCK
