Ok so, honest question because I'm so confused, but when people say that Odysseus was justified in sacrificing his crew because they betrayed him first... Are we ignoring Scylla or what? Because idk man Eurylochus' bitterness sounds a bit justified too?

#the entire musical was eurylochus saying 'no captain please dont' and odysseus just doing things anyway #which changed him!#you could go for the hypocrisy route but i like to think eury chose to believe in the whole 'open arms' mindset odysseus was preaching #he wanted to abandon his men at circe but odysseus says no no man left behind #and then he goes and sacrifices six men to scylla???#i think it shows how much this journey has taken a tool on them #'but we will die' 'i know'!!!!!!#epic the musical #odysseus #eurylochus
