"Then they recognized me. Each embraced me tightly in his arms, and started sobbing in desperation. So the house rang loud with noise, and even [Circe] herself pitied them."

“ To die by your hands ”

A continuation from the Palladium Heist?

I’ve always had this idea of a suitor during hold them down being like “okayyy and I’m out of here I do not fuck with this- however there’s a hundred of you and I’m not Odysseus so I’ll be leaving, good luck to him though.”

Random beggar he passed by who overheard just mumbles: “thanks.”

And the suitor pauses, before just fucking booking it.

Odysseus’s ship

(Courtesy of the page people.hsc.edu)

Lo and behold the Penteconter a ship that has 50 oarsmen which most likely is a strong candidate on the ships used by the Greeks at the bronze age. (Known from other writings like Argonauts as well)

This type of boat has 50 oars (25 at every side) and a single mast and a sail. The sail was playing auxiliary purpose (the oars were still needed). So the ship was including 50 oarsmen, one navigator and a captain (roughly 53 people per shift) perhaps we can expect a few more people per ship if there is a change of a shift. We also do not count slaves and livestock.

So we expect that Odysseus started the trip from Ithaca to Troy with a crew somewhere between 625-725 people and counting the bare minimum losses at the trip more or less we get to have the people that oar back home. You can imagine also how tired his men were at the final parts of the journey when we expect the oarsmen were not sufficient even to row the boat (if they were less than 50) and they could not change the shifts

Honestly I understand why they wanted to stop at the island of Helios despite the fact Odysseus told them not to.

Poseidon : you stupid human... I told you before that I'm immortal. You may have hit me by surprise last time, but I'm back now and as long as you walk this earth I won't let you live in peace. Now get in the water
