    Btw, remember how during Warrior of the Mind, Athena initially sings 'mind' with a single sustained note, while Ody does a melody. At the end of WotM, Athena switches to using the same melody as Ody, to show that she is opening up and accepting his viewpoint.
    In this song, at the end, the last 'goodbye's are sung in the same melody as WotM, but the last one Athena goes back to a single note, showing how the relationship between her and Ody has deteriorated.

    I didn’t realize it until this video, but at 15:50 where she does the high E flat of “This is my goodbye” the notes she‘s singing are a callback to ‘Warrior of the Mind’ specifically the last time she sings the line “Warrior of the mind” I believe she uses the same notes.

    So, there's a nice reprisal of Warrior of the Mind that makes this song hurt more:
    "You're not looking for a mentor, I'm not looking for a friend. I mistook you for a general, what a waste of effort spent" is a reprisal of "If you're looking for a mentor I'll make sure your time's well-spent."

      Some of it is his own self-righteousness too. This was a good way for Jorge to stage something that was little more than an absolute face-palm moment in the source material but Odysseus’ self-destructive, self-righteous pride is still present here: “I blinded you, left you alive, and embarrassed you because you did not live up to my morals so here’s my calling card, monster” meanwhile mans is dropping babies from a wall because the gods told him to be ruthless… or else.

I definitely see how pride for conquering Polyphemus mixes into it- “remember us. Remember _me_ , because I avenged my friends”- but I still see her pushing him as what brought that pride and anger to boil over.
