Odysseus is constantly getting punished for his own cleverness, I like that he's now "cursed" to have the song stuck in his head because he thought he could sneak a listen and live. 😂
The especially funny thing is, if you check Scylla's entry in the Guidebook (written from Hecate's perspective) you find out she admits to liking the siren's music as well.
@@PablitaOrtega77tbf, he only ever named the Sirens, not Scylla. And unless I misremembered, there's a dialogue that implies Scylla's band only formed in Oceanus. Not during Odysseus' journey.
The siren song being so beautiful it bewitches even in the afterlife is a terrifyingly good concept. Even in death they call to you- you’ll never truly get away.
Odysseus had to plug the ears of his men with wax to prevent them from hearing the siren song, but he allowed himself to hear the song at the cost of being bound tightly to the mast, so that he would not be tempted to throw himself overboard and drown
Basically, he had to make a choice between sailing by Scylla, or by Charybdis. Sailing by Scylla ensured that 6 of his sailors would be dragged off the deck to their deaths. Sailing by Charybdis risked the possibility that the entire ship would be lost to the whirlpool. He made the decision to sacrifice 6 men for the assured passage of the rest of the crew.
Scylla used to be a beautiful maiden, but she got turned into a six headed monster and was stationed at a part of the sea called Straight of the Damned Scylla was partnered with a living whirpool called Charybdis, and all sailors that dared to cross their path would have to make a difficult choice, either allow Scylla to eat them or risk Charybdis drowning them Odysseus was adviced by Circe to risk Scylla eating his crew, he was told to row past Scylla as fast as possible and to not stop for a moment to fight her, because that would be folly so Odysseus got past the Straight of the Damned at the cost of losing 6 men
To be fair Odysseus had a very unreliable crew. On two separate occasions they damned the voyage home. The first occasion forced to elongate their trip for years due to unraveling the bag of winds given to them pushing them away from home. And the second occasion lead to the deaths of everyone except for Odysseus.

To be fair to Melinoe, separating the art from the artist does take a fair amount of open mindedness.
especially when the artist tries to kill you
@@chumunga648 on the regular as well
Cognitive Dissonance is a real and observable thing after all
The especially funny thing is, if you check Scylla's entry in the Guidebook (written from Hecate's perspective) you find out she admits to liking the siren's music as well.
I think it's from Melinoe's perspective, actually, considering the descriptions regarding Hecate and herself.
I was under the impression it was Homer’s perspective.
@@volcano-ik9kf Too mean towards Melinoe to be Homer's.
It can't be Hecate's. She has her own entry there and she is referred in third person.
I believe the book is actually written by Nemesis!
Once a siren fan always a siren fan.
All tasty morsels shrimp for Scylla.
Irony since he was one of if not the only human to actually listen to the sirens song and not die.
Kind of a frightening concept really. That their song can bewitch a man even *after* his death and into the afterlife.
Sorry can't hear you I'm listening to Coral Crown
I like how they made Odysseus a Siren fan. He had his crew tied him to the mast, so he could listen to the song without the fear of walking overboard.
Honestly...mood.
but unless i am mistaken, Scylla has nothing to do with the sirens, is she not an entirely different beast ?
@@PablitaOrtega77 Yes but Odysseus also met Scylla during his voyage. They might have just soft of combined these events.
@@hansgunsche2177 obviously, and it is not a bad choice.
scylla was a 6 headed monster, and used to be a Nymph.
@@PablitaOrtega77tbf, he only ever named the Sirens, not Scylla. And unless I misremembered, there's a dialogue that implies Scylla's band only formed in Oceanus. Not during Odysseus' journey.
Melinoe is just like her dad, blunt and uncharitable with her opinion
Where Zagreus got his mother's personality she's a daddys girl lol
*Suffering from Epic the Musical intensifies*
🎶 PENELOPE WHYY YOU KNOW I’M TOO SHY AND TERRIFIEEEED 🎶
The siren song being so beautiful it bewitches even in the afterlife is a terrifyingly good concept. Even in death they call to you- you’ll never truly get away.
It helps that Odysseus is one of the few men of not the only man who listened to their whole song without dying and was thus able to dwell on it.
imagine melinoe reaction if she could see that coral crown is currently darren korb most popular song on spotify
Wait the soundtrack is already on Spotify? When’s it coming to Apple Music?
Why even use Apple Music if it doesn't get the tracks first
@@DanielVCOliveira I use youtube music since my soundcloud account up and died several years ago.
@@DanielVCOliveira I use Apple Music because it’s part of my family’s family plan. My brother shares his Apple Music so I use it too.
I don't really like Coral Crown, am I immune to her song?
"Blasted Catchy Song"
They *do* make bops
The fact that even mentioning the music tugs on hooks in his ghostly mind is crazy. Actually playing up the strength of their powers quite a lot.
Melinoe is immune to the spell but Odysseus is not.
Well, she is a goddess
To be Odysseus just mere mortal. Just a man even
@@musfirah9341 Just a lil' shrimp.
Odysseus had to plug the ears of his men with wax to prevent them from hearing the siren song, but he allowed himself to hear the song at the cost of being bound tightly to the mast, so that he would not be tempted to throw himself overboard and drown
@@firxanza5172 it's funny that she just finds them annoying while Odysseus has to control the urge to follow them to his doom, again
Us too Odysseus we’re still waiting for the band merch to drop
Damn cognitohazards
Odysseus: I’m the monster rawr rawr rawr
It’s only 558 man
FELLOW EPIC FAN SPOTTED 🔥🎶🦖🦖🦖🎶🔥
Rawr Rawr Rawr 🦖
bro became the monster rawr rawr rawr..
I am a monster, rawr rawr
Im with you on this Odey, i can't get Scylla's music out of my head either
Meanwhile Orpheus : How's my rival band ?!
Scylla : Get away from us you monster ! Look at poor Roxy ! You gave her anxiety !
I just realized Scylla’s appearance is based off a scallop lol
Why does scylla sounds cute
I think it's the upper Midwestern accent lol
@@beasteh757 I need to study that shlt
Mild midwestern/Wisconsin accent
I wish this game had a reference of epic the musical it will be so cool
1:03 when those music are those who stay the most in my head i totaly understand him ;w;
Top 10 anime betrayals
i actually like the song too. i just hate that it's only 1 song, why can't we get multiple songs!!?
If i had a nickel for everytime scylla has the chorus of her sing say"DROWN" id have 2 nickels
Tbf the song is a banger
can you blame him Coral Crown is a banger
Is it bad i want Odysseus to have a dark souls style death to scyalla?
I mean, I think he already is dead...
Didn't Scylla *eat* some of Odysseus's crew?
Yep. 6 of his crew. “All but 6 got away.” He protected the crew from the sirens song… but scylla was another matter.
Can't blame him he was not only against her but her sister as well
Basically, he had to make a choice between sailing by Scylla, or by Charybdis. Sailing by Scylla ensured that 6 of his sailors would be dragged off the deck to their deaths.

@@enlongjones2394 "some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice i am willing to make"
to be fair if I was odysseus I wouldn’t like my mostly dumbass crew either..
Scylla used to be a beautiful maiden, but she got turned into a six headed monster and was stationed at a part of the sea called Straight of the Damned
Scylla was partnered with a living whirpool called Charybdis, and all sailors that dared to cross their path would have to make a difficult choice, either allow Scylla to eat them or risk Charybdis drowning them
Odysseus was adviced by Circe to risk Scylla eating his crew, he was told to row past Scylla as fast as possible and to not stop for a moment to fight her, because that would be folly
so Odysseus got past the Straight of the Damned at the cost of losing 6 men
Would
Bro is vtuber fan. I can empath with bro.
Did scylla just call Odysseus pretty ?
So am I lol.
I’m surprised he likes them, given they ate members of his crew
