Yeah Ody was the only one who listened to the siren so he’s the only one who knew about Scylla. He didn’t even bother TRYING to explain to the crew this was truly the only way they had to get home. Eury of course is very upset that Ody intentionally made him an unwitting accomplice to those deaths by having him hand out the torches. So of course in the crew’s perspective seeing Ody coldly sacrifice six of them to a monster, yeah a mutiny is gonna happen! “My brothers… why?” ODY YOU KNOW FULL WELL WHY! Eury killing the cow was basically suicide by god. Poseidon wasn’t letting them fish, and they were STARVING, it was either suicide by god or slowly starving to death. It was a lose-lose situation. He’d lost hope completely. Opening the wind bag? Bad move obviously, but chances are Poseidon would’ve killed those 500 men as soon as they were at Ithaca’s shores anyways. He KNEW where Ody lived cause he revealed his name to Polyphemus, and there was NOTHING to stop him from doing so! Him wanting to leave the men behind at Circe’s? Ody got LUCKY that Hermes decided to step in and help or he would’ve been dead. So of course Eury doesn’t think there’s any possible way to win against her! It’s actually Ody who changes his perspective on this by managing to save the men. In my opinion both Ody and Eury are morally gray characters who things would’ve gone better for if they could’ve just trusted each other. 💔 Scylla has to be my favorite song from this saga her voice is so good and perfectly captures Ody feeling like a monster just like Scylla! The way Scylla’s words can relate to both Eury AND Ody! 😩
I love Scylla, with the voice actor sounding so like rough and harsh even with the autotune scratched my brain in way, so that was a cool choice from Jay. I also liked the “deep down” part because it was so gentle and like haunting, and with Eurylochus admitting to opening the bag and Odysseus not saying anything back besides the torches (in most animatics he’s portrayed as one of the six to take the torches and he gives it to someone else to help, and then he watches that person die and realizes what Odysseus was doing) and then the part where Scylla and Odysseus sing together at the end “we must do what it takes to survive, we are the same you and I” really shows how he has become a monster, willing to kill a baby, letting the cyclops suffer, and sacrifice the six men to Scylla. ‼️spoiler for Ithaca saga from here‼️ Scylla aims for the torches to kill the six men, just as Odysseus does in the song Odysseus where he’s killing the suitors, I assume they’re like walking through the halls in the dark with torches looking for him or his son Telemachus to kill him and do what they wanted to his wife, and he’s hiding in the dark taking them out with arrows, hence the line “keep your head down he’s aiming for the torches” I think this ties back to “we are the same you and I” I might just be delusional 😭
what is ur favourite song from this saga?? :D

really shows how he has become a monster, willing to kill a baby, letting the cyclops suffer, and sacrifice the six men to Scylla. ‼️spoiler for Ithaca saga from here‼️
Scylla aims for the torches to kill the six men, just as Odysseus does in the song Odysseus where he’s killing the suitors, I assume they’re like walking through the halls in the dark with torches looking for him or his son Telemachus to kill him and do what they wanted to his wife, and he’s hiding in the dark taking them out with arrows, hence the line “keep your head down he’s aiming for the torches” I think this ties back to “we are the same you and I” I might just be delusional 😭
wow!! nice link and i REALLY love scylla's voice too!
