still not over the sheer number of hermits on that one mountain. there's a whole entire world and they decided to cram like seven of them on this one hill because it has pretty trees <3

I'd like to imagine the ones chanting Poseidon's name at the start of Ruthlessness are all the fish that are hype about getting to see their god fuck over a bunch of humans whose captain pissed him off.

"the blood on your hands is something you won't lose" (the horse and the infant, emphasis mine) as in. he could? he could lose it but because of who he is, the choices he'll make, it's inevitable? that it's something he could avoid if he was anyone but himself? it didn't have to be this way but it was always going to be this way? or is it just because an [o] in won't sounds better in the line with the [ʌ] in blood compared to an [æ] in can't

Not Odysseus escaping a vengeful, rampaging cyclops just to turn around and say “btw here’s my full name and address, remember it”

Odysseus in Epic: the musical

I find it incredibly funny from a meta/author perspective, that Ancient Greece decided to name their protagonist that angers many people “Anger Bringer” but, even funnier, is the in universe understating that anyone who meets Odysseus must have had the thought “oh dear, how unfortunate to be named hateful/hated” and then they have exactly One conversation with him and go “Ah I see now”
For reference, Odysseus’ name sounds very much like the Greek word odussomai, which can roughly mean “I am angry at” or “I am the cause of anger” (or simply “to hate” or “to dismiss”), a fact that is used for ironic effect frequently in the Odyssey.
It’s also specifically stated in Book 19 that Odysseus’ grandfather, a master thief and one who has also pissed off a lot of people, specifically named him this because “I am disliked by many, all across the world, and I dislike them back. So name the child Odysseus.” 19.428
Bro looked at his grandson and thought “Ahaha, this one’s going to be a troublemaker like me. Better get him started early.”
It’s like a terrible allegory for cause and effect or something.

Odysseus has more strength than I did because if my men decided to open the bag when they could literally see the fucking fires burning at the shore of our homeland, I would've told Poseidon to kill all of them in exchange for me just getting the fuck back home.
