#six hundred men

[thegarden-ofeden]

polites, eurylochus, anticlea, and the six hundred men singing “waiting” at the end of get in the water because now they’re waiting for odysseus to join and reunite with them in the underworld. just a thought.

Personally I like most of Jorge's visions, but I like my own interpretation of Six Hundred Strike.

Basically I imagened that after Oddy gets drowned a bit the ghosts wake him up and give him their strength instead of pulling him down/embracing him in death.

Oddy then opens the bag, the winds blowing back the ocean so they're fighting on the ocean floor, Oddy losing to Poseidon (duh) until the six hundred men start "attacking" him and he gets distracted enough that Odysseus manages to get a couple of good strikes.

Then Poseidon gets stabbed to Hades and back.

Also he's a gigantic water horse because that's neat

Odysseus won't lose any sleep over killing more than a hundred suitors (unlike Telemachus), but his six hundred men will haunt him forever

Soooo how we feeling ab the vengeance saga

[marz-planet]

Y’know how EPIC the musical(‘s original plan [?]) was to be a musical?

If it’s a live thing one day, do y’all think Mr. Jalapeño would be fine with the crowd audibly singing along with ensemble/crew bits?

cause it’s supposed to be roughly 🎶six-hundred men🎶?

(mostly a joke, mostly)

I’ve been waiting, for this moment, for the perfect time to strike-

it’s called I just hit 600 followers so do you know what that means?

Six Hundred Men. Six Hundred Men under my command

With only one goal in mind, make it back alive to our homeland!

Can you... Can you guys imagine. Get in the Water. Poseidon is MAD happy to finally get Odysseus. Get in the Water, Odysseus. Or I will DROWN your Ithaca, or I will GOUGE your son's eyes. Odysseus answers, begs. What else can he do? It's Been Ten Years, they are both hurting from loses. Why can't they stop and just... go home. Finally, finally get to the home that is so close.

But No. The god says "Die". The god sends waves, sends him under. Ruthlessness is Mercy, he said before. He will not let Odysseus get away again. There is no escaping god of the sea now, not so deep in the ocean. Odysseus can hear Polites, can hear Eurylochous, can hear his mother. All of his comrades are Waiting, Waiting, Waiting. He can't let go but he must. They are Waiting. But then something unlike the sound of trumpets - crashing waves - resonates within him. A beat like his heart but getting stronger, getting more powerful. His chest is vibrating with it when he finally hears the tick-ticking, so familiar yet foreign. Then, a voice shakes his very being. "I was promised blood." Godly wrath fills him and suddenly Ares' instruments are all he can hear, followed closely by his soldiers' vengeful cry.

In six hundred strike the way all 600 men pick up the "waiting" song Odysseus's Mom sang earlier... I can't stop thinking about it like they're all waiting for him to die at Poseidon's hand and join them in the underworld. 600 men...they all waited to get home they trusted him. Now they wait in the underworld for their captain

[brainrotcharacters]

And just like that, "All I hear are screams" became a good thing.

[wlwinry]

six hundred strike more like five hundred fifty seven strike

Open arms is such a fucking heartbreaker my god

‘A cave!’ And his fucking voice, he’s just so… excited, he’s happy, things are working out!

And then the cave.

I just think it’s important that the motif with all of the positive upswings and just blatantly vibrant notes is his, even after death

And even when he died, he kept to it! He died believing in his wonderful world! He already knew that the lotus eaters had led them to the cyclops, he may have even had a few seconds of consciousness after the cyclops got him, but he still believed!

It kind of reminds of that one servant in a Shakespeare play, the manservant without a name. The manservant hears the lords (or something) plotting a terrible thing, so he steps forward to attempt to stop them- and is immediately killed. He knows this will happen. He knows he cannot stop them. But regardless he tries

Anyway I am completely normal about the notion of like- having a positive philosophy about your impact on the world and how the world itself is a kind one and dying because of it but still nonetheless dying with belief that the world is kind regardless
