    Don’t forget to check the description! You might find answer to your question :D
    And can we clear this, after like two years ahahaha? Throwing an apple to someone does NOT ONLY mean marriage proposal, but a decleration of love. In the ancient Greek world they had around five different types of love, from friendship love to family love to deep, trustworthy love to romantic loves to harmful love to sacrifising love. Yeeeaaah... Do as you'd like with this information.

    I think the lotus eaters didn't think the cave was harmful either not just because they were chill but the cyclopses didn't mind their existence and probably let them come and go.
    If you remember the next song, polyphemus isn't mad because they trespassed but instead because they killed his sheep and planned to steal. Had odysseus been chill like the lotus eaters, polyphemus might've let them trade or bargain for some food

      This also kinda leads into the Odysseys overall theme of "Hospitality" manners. In this version, yea it is entirely bc they had bad manners. In greek Hospitality rules your ment to greet a host and the Host HAS to feed and be kind to you. But if your rude the host literally gets to kill you. This rule is also why when Ody killed all those Suitors he was beyond within his right, bc they where simply RUDE in his house and as the Head of The Household he gets to murder

      @@MrJpc1234 No they're right, Most of the ancient world had massively strict hospitality rules. Polites WAS in the right. If Odysseus had not been so cyncical, jaded and agressive his men would not have died. The Cyclops is mad about the crimes commited, not jst that they happen to be there. In the original myths as well, it's heavily implied that he punishes those who break Xenia. In the original myth the Cyclops is in the right and Odysseus and his men are being PUNISHED.
      Also how about you stop being patronizing about your opinions? 'sweet summer child' like that isn't you being a condescending.
      Some of the most kind hearted, positive and loving people around are the people who have survived shit you should count your lucky stars you haven't had to live through, shit that makes my life look like a walk in the bloody park. Those who suffer the most understand the importance of kindness. And you sound like a cynical little teenager who thinks they have life figured out and that your way is the only way.

      Strictly speaking yes, the cyclops was punishing Odysseus and his crew, because they didn’t correctly follow the steps of Xenia, but the cyclops went too far which put him in the wrong again. The Cyclopes were shown to be an uncivilised group that didn’t follow many of the ancient customs, not just Xenia, and therefore, they are clearly not meant to be likeable or correct. Odysseus’ only fault was going into the cave early and not waiting for the cyclops, but the morals of that were contested between him and his crew and they unltimately decided they were in dire need and that emergency trumped perfect Xenia. The cyclops then arrived and had no intention whatsoever of ever being nice to them or obeying Xenia and then ate some of the crew which was really seen as wrong in Ancient Greece (think of Tantalus) and so yes, Odysseus and his crew were in the wrong for entering without permission and taking food (all steps of Xenia but in the wrong order and without consent) the cyclops was very definitely the most in the wrong and when Odysseus called upon the gods and even reminded the cyclops of the concept of Xenia, the cyclops blatantly stated that he did not care, all of which are far more serious and nothing Odysseus and his crew did warranted the treatment they got, even by Ancient Greek standards.

    Fun fact: in Ancient Greece throwing an apple at someone was a marriage proposal, and if they caught it, it was a yes.
    Athena might've been angry at him for almost ruining her future "never once has he cheated on his wife" argument instead of being mad at non-violent solutions (which, genuine thought, she's the goddess of wisdom and strategy, I don't think violence would be the best solution for *everything* Ody should've killed Poly, yes, but he managed the Lotus Eaters just fine, killing them all would mean never knowing about the cave. Even though lots died they did manage to get the sheeps, they could've starved!)

    At 2:21 the little winion wants to go to Odysseus because he is upset😢
    And at 2:32 he cuddles himself close to him🥰

    I lost someone close to me, not dead, but them moving on via limitations and circumstances in life, preventing one another from being able to communicate properly. He sent me this song with his farewell.. and it breaks me every time thinking about him day in and day out. Such a beautiful man..

    I have listened to this song many, many times and I just now realized that one of the lotus eaters during the part where they say “a cave” a beat later actually says “a scary cave”. How did it take me this long to actually hear that?!?!
