some odysseus & eurylochus thoughts. I love their dynamic but the fandom angers me sometimes.
(making it clear, I'm talking about some haters, not all, some of you actually make good points)


edit: it's 2am and i've had more thoughts so i word-vomited them all out in the tags
#epic the musical#epic eurylochus#epic odysseus#I love their dynamic#they are foils and mirrors and just men#they've been away from home for 13 years man#if you think about it#polites is the one starts the open arms ideology which is the opposite of eury's “let's raid the place” attitude#the open arms ideology is then used by odysseus to...spare the cyclops? apparently?#at the same time he gets abandoned by his patron goddess#who is powerful asf and could've help guide them home#with athena gone and the polyphemus alive#eurylochus in luck runs out is completely understandable#which slowly makes him distrust ody more and more#until he can't trust that there isn't any treasure in the wind bag#not dismissing eury's actions here#but it truly shows that he is a representation of mortals in a godly world#hunger and worry and distrust are all human things#the crew being eurylochus's instrument supports how they all just humans#how in the face of the gods#they can disappear with raging deadly waves or a purposeful strike of thunder#in conclusion#ody being the smartest guy in the trojan war is like being the tallest dwarf#pls get this reference#amemberlea posts#this might not be coherent#ody & eury remind me of hamilton & burr#which is prob why i like them
