Actually if you listen closely you’ll see Tiresias basically spoiled the entire thunder saga : « A song of past romance » = Suffering/Siren song « Sacrifice of men » = Scylla « Portrayal of betrayal » = Mutiny « Brother’s final stand » = Thunderbringer And he is left on the brink of death after Zeus zapped them but still he lives to later float on Calypso’s island and further down the road come back as a broken monster of a man(even the line where Scylla say we are the same you and I, well Ody also targets the suitors carrying torches in the song King )
@@togucvinw7don't forget the lines " on the brink of death / draw your final breath" line. That's the stabbing and near death at the hands of Zeus, and when the Ody makes his choice and the crew charge him he assumes that is his final breathe.
Crew: No more of us deceased, 'cause he won't take more suffering from you🎶 Scylla: Six men plz Odysseus:Eurylochus light 6 touches Crew and Eurylochus" 😦😲 😂😂😂😂
OH MY GOD WHEN DOES THE REASON BECOME THE BLAME ODY'S WHOLE REASON IS TO GET HOME TO HIS SON AND WIFE, BUT THAT ENDED UP BEING THE VERY THING THAT KILLED HIS ENTIRE CREW "YOU MUST CARRY ALL THE BLAME'
One thing I love about this series is how easy it is to connect various pieces together, the motifs and melodies repeat themselves or come up in different iterations. Call it foreshadowing or self-referential, or whatever you'd like, but I think it's great. :D
@@missseaweed2462 NAH FR!! I love especially how it connects the entire musical - ESPECIALLY in mutiny, I feel like that song hit so much harder because of how it felt like *everything* that had happened was leading up to the moment where it snapped.
"Eurylochus killed so many men. He doesn't have a right to be mad" "No Odysseus is the one to blame. Those soldiers trusted him" Its the gods. The gods are the villains of this story. Literally every problem Odysseus and his men had during this journey can be traced back to the gods using mortals as playthings.
Nah the story has made it clear that Odysseus, and Eurylochus, are both 'Just Men' This entire conflict started because Odysseus, while leaving the home of Polyphemus, could not help but taunt him with his full name and title, rendering his entire 'Nobody' tactic useless. The second major conflict began because Aeolus had given Ody's crew one clear instruction; dont open the wind bag. Eurylochus defied it, and thats what began the second major shift in narrative. Yes the Gods toy with mortals on a daily basis, but while every problem has been created indirectly by them, it was also a GOD, Aeolus, who offered the crew a solution to reach Ithaca that they all ultimately fumbled. This story has one arcing narrative; mistakes are normal for man, but are alien to Gods. That begs the question; how far can you push a man before he becomes a ruthless monster like the Gods?
Villains are meant to be overcome. Villains can be defeated. That is their narrative purpose. The Gods _cannot_ be overcome. No mortal can ever stand against a God. It is foolish. It is impossible, as impossible as ordering the tides to recede, or a hurricane to dissipate. (And yes I've heard the Vengeance Saga, for the record. I say this with full knowledge and approval of what goes down in it. 😎)
@@spainwithoutthes4376 it isn't about culprits, no one's to blame. They all acted because of someone elses action and if you try to point the true culprit you'd end up with Polites being the culprit because of his ideals and keep your friends close. and we ALL know that he is not to blame
That's why I find greek mythology fascinating. The gods aren't good at all, and, in fact, they're mostly evil (or careless... or ruthless, lol), which is, to me, so interesting. They're aren't being of light, but you must respect them nonetheless or they'll crush you.
I keep thinking about Odysseus asking, "Why can't you just let me stay dry", like he hasn't learned his lesson yet, he's still waiting for his enemy to show an ounce of mercy so that he can show them mercy. But the sirens had a job to do, so that was never going to happen.
I think it also becuase it would be really dangerous to have the sirens on bored. Everyone would have to have their ears plugged the entire time which would make communication very difficult (which would make telling the crew why they are keeping the sirens nearly impossible). Plus I don’t think he knew he would need to scarfice 6 people at that point
@@callumdobson8637 True true, but i think he also knew the cost atp because he said, "but scylla has a cost," which i think indicates that he knew the cost/pos
@@That0neWeirdElve Both are daughters of Phorcys, father of all sea monsters (and Medusa, Steno and Euryale). So maybe she simple don't like to eat her sisters (?)
It felt more like he understood what was gonna happen and was no longer surprised after all he's been through. He's resigned to his self-made fate and simply let it happen.
Not to mention he’s a hypocrite in mutiny he’s like “why did you sacrifice six men!?!?!??1!1!1 😡😡😡” like dude you were WILLING to leave the crew at Circes palace last time you can’t talk 💀
@@currentlyhidinginurwallz he wasn’t sacrificing people to Circe without Hermes moly they stood no chance against Circe he just noticed a threat and went to warn the rest of the crew who were safe odysseus knowingly selected people to be sacrificed
@currentlyhidinginurwallz I mean, he was willing to abandon them, but to be fair, it literally took devine intervention for Oydsseus to have a chance against Circe. The two men have made a lot of bad calls. It's just that the main character learnt early on that ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves and had the benefit of having plot armour.
ohgygodd eurylochus dont act like u didnt just kill the cow after countless warnings and then now you're surprised Odysseus is choosing himself over the crew
the “don’t go” from the cyclops and the “what” from the siren are such good ways to humanize the foes. to have hints of empathy and sympathy from the audience
What I'd like to imagine during 'Suffering' is that while 'Penelope' is advising Odysseus to go through Scylla's lair in order to escape from Poseidon, Odysseus gets reminded of his one and only beloved real Penelope. Because it's the only part of the song where Penelope sings in a low voice, instead of a high-pitched one. If you had listened to 'The Challenge' which hasn't been released but you can easily search the snippet on RUclips, Penelope usually sings in a deep voice. But in this song, the reason why Penelope sings in a different tone and pitch is because this isn't the REAL Penelope. That's why I was also confused at first, whether that's Penelope or not. Not to mention, Odysseus gets reminded of his lovely, smart wife who always used to consult him on his problems and tried to help him in his darkest moments of his life. With her soothing and comforting words, he easily got reminded of the real Penelope that he knows and loves. ( I don't know if I'm overexaggerating about the differences of the tones and voices, but I just wanted to share my thoughts because this musical is my hyper-fixation right now lol )
I'm also hyperfixated on it lol, so I understand. I keep considering whether I wanna contribute to the pool of amazing animatics surrounding this musical haha.
Thats such an amazing build between the relationships of Odysseus and Eurylochus. Eurylochus starting the story willing to run from Circe and learning from Odysseus to stick up for his men. And then betrayal (The sacrifice of man from the Prophecy) shattering the trust Eurylochus built for him. The way the guilt builds before Scylla, confessing that he betrayed his friend, not knowing Odysseus had already made the choice to sacrifice his men, its so heartbreaking ;-;. Eurylochus taking up his sword against Odysseus (A brother's final stand), and the crew stabbing Odysseus, no longer able to hide their doubt. The final moment with Eurylochus killing the cow, hunger clouding his mind and willing to overlook the crime, and then immediate regret when he realizes what hes done. I think its a beautifully crafted moment and plotline throughout the entire epic.
The first time I heard this song and Ody says 'you know I'm scared of water' I was like, "you are an island king! What do you mean!" Also, the idea of him being too shy is too ridiculous😂
@@nxzxdxnxzxdx8087I think the thing that shocked me when I first heard that line was that iit is coming from the commander of a naval fleet, who has been sailing for roughly 10 years, so it is certainly a choice to embark on a voyage to Troy, if you secretly have a deep abiding fear of water
Knowing that Eurylochus was the one who opened the bag (after being told that would bring the storm back) i don't think he really has a right to be upset with Odyseus in this situation. Yes, Odyseus was wrong to sacrifice those men. But eurylochus urged him to do exactly that at Circe's palace, and had he *not* gone looking through other people's shit all but a handful of them would have made it home.
In defense of Eurylochus in Circe's island, he was right, Circe was actually invencible, and his men were as good as dead, it took a literal Deus ex machina to save them. But Odysseus sacrifice to Scylla was planned, premeditated.
@blakeking1125 For your last point, I’d argue that Eurylochus opening the wind bag was a _relatively_ good thing - not for the hundreds of soldiers on the ships, obviously, but for the citizens of Ithaca. Right after the wind bag is opened in Keep Your Friends Close, who does Odysseus and the crew meet immediately? Poseidon. Imagine this scenario: you and your crew have returned to Ithaca, unknowing that the cyclops you had fought was Poseidon’s son. During your encounter, you revealed your name and kingdom to the now-blind Polyphemus, then spared him. By the time of the Storm Saga, Poseidon *knows* about your battle with Polyphemus (Jorge said in a shorts video that Poseidon called the storms). And before you could put your foot on the island, Poseidon surfaces from the water with his divine wrath. Odysseus’ existence alone puts the rest of his men and citizens at risk. Now, back to my point: I believe Eurylochus, in the grand scheme of things, gave Odysseus the time necessary to switch philosophies, in order to defeat Poseidon during his second encounter (spoilers for a future saga, sorry). Yes, the soldiers died, but people were going to die anyway; they *angered* Poseidon. At the very least, the kingdom of Ithaca was spared the first time, when Poseidon exercised his godly power on the 500+ men.
I'm pretty sure the big issue here is that Eurylochos doesn't know when to sacrifice men. Either that or he just got too hopeful after Ody saved the men from Circe
@@juanjogrimaldos7463 it was also the only way to get home with out a risk of losing the entire crew. They had 3 options try to get pass poseidon who had already kill most of their crew. or try to fight Scylla who the sirens say Poseidon is afraid of or scarfice 6 men. I say he made the smart decision
It’s a bit hypocritical of Eurylochus to say Odysseus gave up the lives of six crew members when arguably eurylochus killed 558 men when he opened the wind bag and even in this saga he got everyone including himself killed by attacking a cow. Edit an astute fan of this musical enlightened me to the number of men dying being 557 men not 558 because one died at Circe’s island and not on the open sea
You get me!! YOU GET ME not to mention the fact that he was literally supposed to die in the layer of sylla but handed off his torch moments before he got eaten
Exactly! Eurylochus was willing to sacrifice others to ensure his own safety on Circe's Island and in Scyllas's lair. Yet when Odysseus uses a small sacrifice of 6 men to ensure their return home, it's outlandish! If Odysseus had decided to fight Scylla, then they could have lost all of the crew, if not very little being left. Odysseus made the optimal play for giving Eurylochus and the rest of his crew up to Zeus to kill at that point.
Eurylochus wasn't sacrificing the others in circe saga. He found a source of danger that the rest of his group fell victim to, and because she was a witch, he knew that in the moment the only thing they could do was get everyone else off the island and run. It's not until Hermes gives Odysseus Moly that Ody would've even had a chance against Circe. It wasn't HIS safety, it was the remaining crew. Odysseus's sacrifice of 6 men were purposeful and selected, as well as it's implied Ody planned to sacrifice Eurylochus for him opening the bag. HE wants to get home to HIS wife. He no longer cares, or is forcing himself to not care, about the crew unless it helps him get home. Of course Eurylochus is mad at Odysseus. He has been a close friend of his for at least since the trojan war, and he is forced to watch Ody corrupt into a monster of a man. Also, in the Iliad, Ody is literally his brother in law. To know and have such a close connection to someone, just for them to start (from your view) putting everyone in danger, and getting friends killed. I'd be pretty pissed too. I agree that Eurylochus was a dumbass for opening the wind bag tho, thats honestly when everything went to shizzle, shame on you Eurylochus, do better.
Eurylochus: (Back in Sea Arc) Hey, let’s be careful about messing with God stuff Eurylochus: (thunder arc) I know all these cows are roaming an island watched by Apollo… but I’m too hangry to not wanna kill them. Zeus: (appears) Yo. Eurylochus: … Fuck.
Honestly, I think eurylikes just didn't care anymore and he wanted to die, that may have been another reason that that choice was so easy for Odysseus to make.
@@nicholaspeterman9111 thank you for pointing this out I completely forgot to check, it, and I usually use talk to text to save time because I have so much to say, I just need to remember to check the Greek names, because it only really knows Odysseus
@@dragansnyder2786Another reason however could be that he didn't trust Ody anymore, and he was the only one that knew all about the supernatural stuff (what the Lotus does, who lives on the floating island, where Scylla lives and, in the end, that the cows should have been left untouched).
@@loonelytoon6523 I mean to be honest, he was the one telling Odysseus not to risk pissing the gods off back in luck runs out, that's the only reason I have developed the opinion that he just wanted to die, because he specifically pointed out how dangerous the gods were, and now he's choosing to ignore the chance that a God will take vengeance on them.
It’s insane that eurylochus is mad even tho pretty much all of the crews death is his fault😭😭love him but ody literally took them to a 10 year war and came out with every single man alive like hun you’re the one that wanted to leave the men behind at circes palace, you opened the wind bag, you killed the cow, like come on
Apparently, it's a skill issue. Ody has skills to keep 600 man alive in a war. He did lose some to cyclops, but there is no way he could have know about him. While, Eury.....well every time he gets involved someone dies. If I remember correctly, he also wanted to raid the cyclops island. Skill issue, I say. Or extreme shortsightedness.
even more funny when it was eurylochus who said to ody in the story "if you wish to marry my sister you must be willing to murder man for her" [yes eurylochus is ody wife brother]
I wonder what would have happened had Odyseus accepted the blame. I don't think Zeus as depicted here is the type to reward selflessness, but if "an act of pride" is the issue then logically humility would be the solution.
I think Zeus would have laughed hard and either just killed Odysseus OR said that his pride was enough of a sacrifice. Someone had to die and then the people who had died was the she that Zeus represented as pride.
As if... I'd say he would have just killed them all. We already know how the Gods think, and what they hate the most is mortals not dancing exactly to there tunes... Zeus was playing with him, giving him a choice with between bad and worst just to watch him straggle, beg, and break. He is especially known to enjoy breaking mortals for entertainment... Loosing for him is not an option he would ever consider! And he would interpret Andy off script answers as defiance. So the better answer literally does not exist.
“You are the worse kind of good Cause you're not even great A greek who reeks of *false righteousness* That's what I hate” Ruthlessness, same situation. Ody pisses off Poseidon by blinding Polyphemus and then heroically spares him. To Poseidon this was “false righteousness” arguably because he’d already done the deed, it’s not like it’s any worse if he’s merciful - that’s the minimum for the offended and in Poseidon’s mindset a stupid move in general. Here Odysseus - it doesn’t matter it was actually Eurylochus, mythology logic doesn’t deal in individual responsibility and the gods reasoning like this is the one bit J retained in his world building concerning ethics - pisses Helios off by killing the cows. Let’s assume he took all the blame for his men. False righteousness. It doesn’t undo the deed and it’s stupid, since it goes against his interest. Now, pride. Poseidon *hates* this kinda mindset, Zeus arguably does too and Athena tried to talk Odysseus out of it - even if in the end she seems to embrace Odysseus’ original view, at the beginning, while more rationally than the other Olympians, she reasons like that too. I must add, Athena abandoned Odysseus *precisely* because of that. Ody was abandoned because he chose HIS way over a literal GODDESS’S advice. That’s pride. My point is that to Zeus it would have been even more prideful of Odysseus to take on all the blame, ‘cause he’d choose his moral compass over the gods’, who deal in self-interest. I believe my point here is further proved by the fact Zeus interprets as ‘pride’ a bunch of hopeless men crazy with hunger killing the first edible thing they find, and, later on, Athena besting him ACCORDING TO HIS OWN RULES. Here comes the mythology logic again: sin is determined by whatever pisses the gods off. Gods aren’t reasonable, they aren’t paragons of universal justice as we conceive it, they’re just some irritable guys with a WAY BIG gun. So in the end I agree with whoever said Zeus would have zapped them all.
It's quite simple to tell the order though. After I listened to each song for the first time, I was able to tell where each song went where despite listening to them out of order.
Eurylochus bashing Odysseus for sacrificng six of his men: Meanwhile Eurylochus: gets 557 men killed bc he opened the bag. oh AND kills the cow, basically bringing death to everyone thats left. good job Eurylochus
Eurylochus's performance when weeping about hungry he was...ohmygods, my heart. I heard the desperation, the realization he'd do anything. Mr Jalapeño, sir, your responses with The Siren was so fun.

One of my favorite parts of epic is how things connect to each other, whether it’s obvious or not so much, this is like musical connect the dots and I love it! Like the line “When does the reason become the blame” by mutiny, that’s what happens, the goal was to get home but now odyssey is so focused and locked onto the fact he has to get home that it becomes what his crew blames him for when they lose people in Scylla “Tell me you did not miss home so painfully bad, that you gave up the lives of six of our friends”
Bro expects me to believe he stayed in key while reading the sirens lips. Ody must be the god of pitch or something xD I love this installment so much, I started listening to the project during the underworld part so this was the first release I was here for. Been listening to it so much since it launched.
If you believe one of the anomatic for polyphemus he also stayed in perfect pitch while polyphemus was literally crushing his ribs (I mean he had him in his hands so, his ribs probably weren't in the best state) it is also worth noting that Odysseus technically has Divine blood, so I think him being able to do some impossible things does actually make sense
@dragansnyder2786 It's a musical adaptation so it makes sense in context. I just think it's funny. It'd be cool if he was slightly out of key since he couldn't hear them, but since he isn't fully human I'd accept that's just something he could do if I really needed a reason lol.

@@JesusChrist-lu1vj fair enough, I just can't get the image out of my head of Odysseus suddenly pulling out a Glock, and taking pop shots at the siren pretending to be his wife (though I think you're joke makes this situation a lot funnier than it was)
It was a mix of the extremely logical and cold monster he has turned into with the fact that he is profoundly angry that she is trying to use his wife's face against him. In that moment his cold rage overrides his love for her face. Besides he gave her several chances to stop after her had what he wanted from her.
@@josephflynn9792it definitely does show how different he's become, I don't think there are many other people who could do what he did even if they know that it logically had to be someone impersonating their wife (though of course I think the man is tired of having his wife's face or name used against him)

Odysseus is to blame for the Cyclops, even though he had no way of knowing he had Poseidon on speed dial. Athena sure didn't try all that hard to warn him. The fact remains that even though Poseidon was after him, he found a way around and would have made it home. Once there, do people really think Ody wouldn't sacrifice himself to Poseidon to save his wife son and kingdom? Like he'd do anything to get back to them, but if he is already there and was offered no other option I would hard pressed to believe he would let his whole kingdom die at that point in the story. Eury opening the bag absolutely sealed the fate of most of the men there. Hence his extreme guilt. He also makes a poor captain because he goes and does the exact same thing Ody did to the Cyclops, only he had no idea or plan to circumvent it and had an actual warning not to do so that Ody lacked. His stance on the sacrifice is empathetic, but if he had known about it prior would he still be gung ho to fight Scylla and likely cause everyone's deaths? This riding on the coattails of admitting he opened the bag, directly ruining Odys plan that would have seen them home, and leading to the deaths of all the men by Posiedon, plus his mutiny on top of that really makes it even ground for Odysseus to choose himself over the crew. Odysseus would have had to face Poseidon anyway, but had they been home it's hard to say the cost would have been higher, since Odysseus wouldn't have traveled through the underworld and been changed by the experience. It's also possible that the wind god may have offered some form of protection for completing their game.

I read a very insightful comment last time about Scylla... Why did Odysseus not use the sirens' bodies and put torches on them so no crew died? XD Well... nevermind!
@@CassieBaldur Well I guess Ody made the same mistake as Poseidon in mistaking sadism for ruthlessness. He was likely so caught up in finally having power over one of his adversaries that he failed to realize that sparing them might’ve been the more logical (and by extention ruthless) option
I've read in other Scylla animatic something, Scylla is a sentient being... She can tell the difference betwen a Siren and a Human, so, if Ody chose to use the sirens body... They would'nt work, cause she know they are sirens (I'm not so good at English, I hope I explained this nice)
Man i've listened to these songs to much that they have started appearing in my dreams. It was a fricking MLP dream and they started singing. "This is the home of the sun elves," "I'm starving my friend" "But if you eat their bible who knows what they'll send." Like WHAT!??

@@beaniebaby7725 What ? Where do you find this information ? It's the first time I hear that. Sirens are usually born monster and then their parents are Achelous (river god) and a muse or Calliope. Hesiod said Phorcys is their father so they would be the sisters of Scylla and it's the more close than I found. The other explanation are metamorphosis and it's by Demeter usually (nymph who were supposed to be with her daughter when she get kidnapped). But I'm interested where you found the idea of Scylla being their mother !
@@Senekata4 Hades as well as certain myths take her on as a motherly role. Not like birth mother but similar to an adopted mother. Even in certain parts of the Odyssey they are referred to as "her sirens". I could've explained that better but it was bed time lol.
Ody better than me bc if I had the chance during judgement I'd be singing "if you want all the power you must shoulder all the blame" to Eurylochus. Like bro it's YOU who did this.
Zeus bringing his wife into the picture at Thunderbringer was just a low play 😂 Odysseus: Please don't make me do this Penelope: I will take the suffering from you Odysseus: Aight, I choose my wife
Eury: *opens the windbag, causing Poseidon to kill 500 men (most of which likely weren't even aware of the bag and/or weren't in the cave with Polyphemus to begin with)* Eury: *suggests leaving everyone to die in Circe's palace* Also Eury: "Uh-oh, you knowingly sacrificed 6 people, cue in Mutiny, guys!"
Zeus was referring to pride allegorically, using the one thing he knows best as an analogy (you can probably guess what) He's saying that he has the power to break down and expose a persons pride the same way he breaks down and exposes his many ""lovers""
It's also not just Zeus saying he can expose somebody's pride, but that HE is the master of pride. Pride is his Domain, much like Women are his domain, at least to his mine. He's both telling him he made a mistake letting letting himself grow full of pride, but also sort of a "How dare you try to take something that belongs to me?"
Ok ok but like.... They had sirens. Why didn't they keep the sirens and give them to eat at Scylla ? I mean... meat is meat. And if she eats who take the torches, it would be easy to put them in decoy. If they were scared the sirens will attack them, they could just cut their tongues and part of their tails by exemple so they couldn't run. And with that, problem solved : no one die in the crews and they can all passed and the theme of monster is respected. It make the more sens !
Ok, but Ody is so in the wrong here. So many people say that eury is in the wrong. In truth, they both are. But you got to take into account that ody tried to kill eury, how would you take that, if someone you trusted, you're best friend, someone you looked up to, tried to kill you. Also, Eury was angry at Ody because he was a heartless monster. How he is prepared to kill eury, though eury was not ready. Eury saw that ody did't care about hos crew, also Ody is a KING, so someone like that is good in charge. Eury is in the right here
Odysseus tried to kill Eurylochus because Eury was responsible for all of their suffering. If it weren't for Eury, they would've been in Ithica. Over 500 men would not have died (in this version), they'd never have dealt with circe and never have had to make the sacrifice to Scylla.
Yeah but sure was also in the wrong he showed he would in fact do the same thing when he handed torch to someone else and he killed the cows pretty much killing everyone
Yeah but eury is just as horrible. Ody even said "you would've done the same" but instead of denying eury said "if you want all the power then you must carry all the blame." like um...hypocrites much? Not to mention Eury was ready to leave his crew when they met circe so he pretty much "sacrifice" them to. Not to mention Ody had to do it, if he didn't light up those torches scylla might've decided to attack the boat or even the crew that's rowing, causing them to be stuck there. Not to mention Eury was willing to kill the cow despite ody saying it will kill them all. So yeah, eury succs
Tbf, Odysseus spent the whole story so far repeatingly preaching about altruism and keeping eachother alive. Also abandoning someone to avoid more deaths is different than directly throwing people into their deaths without elaboration.
I honestly got fooled by the siren, I thought this was a flashback along with the theory that monster was the intermission song, a fade to black. Thought this was gonna be an interesting flashback to something that happened a while ago to show growth n maybe forshadow the next adventure, but that howl and 'let's cut the charade' made me go "oooooooooh right, he played peekaboo with the sirens'
Yeah it trully feels like Ody should have just kept 6 siren alive for Scylla to feed im sure she wouldnt really care about what shes eating but why was fishing always seems to be so impossible like come on you wont find sheeps but even sharks or honestly sirens tail would do
i wanted to hear about ody being tied up to his ship's mast, listening to the siren's song while his crew tries to keep him from killing himself, but yeah, that wouldnt fit with the musicals's story
I think the reason why Eurylochus moralizes Odysseus over sacrificing 6 men when he killed 558 due to paranoia was not because of the number of casualties (dying to poseidon can be seen as just happenstance, simple bad weather at sea), but because of the nature of their deaths (Eurylochus was simply inept, Odysseus actively chose this), now, Eurylochus probably wanted to throw a mutiny for a while, he just meeded a reason to ryle the crew behind him, Odysseus must've thought this too, since he wanted Eurylochus gone too, he just got lucky to pass the torch, which made it clear his captain wanted to get rid of him already, so with Odysseus getting unstable enough as to be willing to give out lives for his own motives and already on his black list, he saw it necessary to step up, so he brought that as his argument to make the crew realize none of them were safe from Odysseus.
We learn is “Different Beast” the Odysseus was just reading lips and couldn’t hear. So how did he know what key to sing in and harmonize with the Siren.
well he's going to live the rest of his life with the guilt of killing his entire crew. They all stayed away from home for 12+ years, but he's the only one who survived and got to see home. Isn't this enough?
Now, you no longer have to wonder how, How much longer until your luck runs out. How much longer you must go about Your lives like this because you die like this. Woah
I only just realised that in the original version of the oddessy, the sirens are ment to be prophets and almost all their prophecies have come true. So the sirens saying "i will take the suffering from you" was actually hinting at the suffering oddyseus would experience later on in the saga
Something occurred to me, could they have gone through Scylla without torches and all made it? Or was the cost Ody mentioned during Suffering that 6 people would need sacrificed?
Scylla is a six headed sea monster, a man for each head. I suppose if there was no torches, she would have just attacked the whole ship to find something and if she had done that, there would have been way more than six deaths
Think of it like a toll. If you try to go around it, then they will just take everything. So instead of 6, it would have been all of them. Or at least their boat would be destroyed and then they'd drown. We don't know for certain but that is what I take from this.
It's funny that the (while trying to kill him) the sirens offered more useful information than the actual prophet
If they had listened to him, they would have given up and remain living on Circe's island.
Actually if you listen closely you’ll see Tiresias basically spoiled the entire thunder saga :
« A song of past romance » = Suffering/Siren song
« Sacrifice of men » = Scylla
« Portrayal of betrayal » = Mutiny
« Brother’s final stand » = Thunderbringer
And he is left on the brink of death after Zeus zapped them but still he lives to later float on Calypso’s island and further down the road come back as a broken monster of a man(even the line where Scylla say we are the same you and I, well Ody also targets the suitors carrying torches in the song King )

One thing I love about this series is how easy it is to connect various pieces together, the motifs and melodies repeat themselves or come up in different iterations. Call it foreshadowing or self-referential, or whatever you'd like, but I think it's great. :D
@@missseaweed2462 NAH FR!! I love especially how it connects the entire musical - ESPECIALLY in mutiny, I feel like that song hit so much harder because of how it felt like *everything* that had happened was leading up to the moment where it snapped.
That's a great catch, didn't think of that before!
I love how I listen to the songs and realise some of the "Easter eggs". Then I come to the comments, and see even more😮
I swear just a man it’s just pure foreshadowing
"Eurylochus killed so many men. He doesn't have a right to be mad"
"No Odysseus is the one to blame. Those soldiers trusted him"
Its the gods. The gods are the villains of this story. Literally every problem Odysseus and his men had during this journey can be traced back to the gods using mortals as playthings.
not airelos or the wind god
Nah the story has made it clear that Odysseus, and Eurylochus, are both 'Just Men'
This entire conflict started because Odysseus, while leaving the home of Polyphemus, could not help but taunt him with his full name and title, rendering his entire 'Nobody' tactic useless.
The second major conflict began because Aeolus had given Ody's crew one clear instruction; dont open the wind bag. Eurylochus defied it, and thats what began the second major shift in narrative.
Yes the Gods toy with mortals on a daily basis, but while every problem has been created indirectly by them, it was also a GOD, Aeolus, who offered the crew a solution to reach Ithaca that they all ultimately fumbled.
This story has one arcing narrative; mistakes are normal for man, but are alien to Gods. That begs the question; how far can you push a man before he becomes a ruthless monster like the Gods?
Villains are meant to be overcome. Villains can be defeated. That is their narrative purpose.
The Gods _cannot_ be overcome. No mortal can ever stand against a God. It is foolish. It is impossible, as impossible as ordering the tides to recede, or a hurricane to dissipate.
(And yes I've heard the Vengeance Saga, for the record. I say this with full knowledge and approval of what goes down in it. 😎)
@@spainwithoutthes4376 it isn't about culprits, no one's to blame. They all acted because of someone elses action and if you try to point the true culprit you'd end up with Polites being the culprit because of his ideals and keep your friends close. and we ALL know that he is not to blame
That's why I find greek mythology fascinating. The gods aren't good at all, and, in fact, they're mostly evil (or careless... or ruthless, lol), which is, to me, so interesting. They're aren't being of light, but you must respect them nonetheless or they'll crush you.
The way the siren isnt just PRETENDING to be his wife, shes literally offering him freedom from the suffering he feels, through death.
In turn, Penelope then gains all said suffering
Also Telemachus (his son) with never knowing his father
I keep thinking about Odysseus asking, "Why can't you just let me stay dry", like he hasn't learned his lesson yet, he's still waiting for his enemy to show an ounce of mercy so that he can show them mercy. But the sirens had a job to do, so that was never going to happen.

To the people asking "why didnt Odysious just sacrufice the siren" ut is, from what i remember, because scylla doesnt accept siren :3
I meant sea creatures wops
I think it also becuase it would be really dangerous to have the sirens on bored. Everyone would have to have their ears plugged the entire time which would make communication very difficult (which would make telling the crew why they are keeping the sirens nearly impossible). Plus I don’t think he knew he would need to scarfice 6 people at that point

@currentlyhidinginurwallz I mean, he was willing to abandon them, but to be fair, it literally took devine intervention for Oydsseus to have a chance against Circe. The two men have made a lot of bad calls. It's just that the main character learnt early on that ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves and had the benefit of having plot armour.

He quite literally did not sound surprised. He was resigned. If you're gonna slander my bro Eurylochus at least do it right 😤
Honestly despite Odysseus absolutely losing his mind because of everything that has happened to him Eurylochus kinda deserved what he got
the “don’t go” from the cyclops and the “what” from the siren are such good ways to humanize the foes. to have hints of empathy and sympathy from the audience
What I'd like to imagine during 'Suffering' is that while 'Penelope' is advising Odysseus to go through Scylla's lair in order to escape from Poseidon, Odysseus gets reminded of his one and only beloved real Penelope.
Because it's the only part of the song where Penelope sings in a low voice, instead of a high-pitched one. If you had listened to 'The Challenge' which hasn't been released but you can easily search the snippet on RUclips, Penelope usually sings in a deep voice.
But in this song, the reason why Penelope sings in a different tone and pitch is because this isn't the REAL Penelope. That's why I was also confused at first, whether that's Penelope or not.
Not to mention, Odysseus gets reminded of his lovely, smart wife who always used to consult him on his problems and tried to help him in his darkest moments of his life. With her soothing and comforting words, he easily got reminded of the real Penelope that he knows and loves.
( I don't know if I'm overexaggerating about the differences of the tones and voices, but I just wanted to share my thoughts because this musical is my hyper-fixation right now lol )
I'm also hyperfixated on it lol, so I understand. I keep considering whether I wanna contribute to the pool of amazing animatics surrounding this musical haha.
that would make a lot of sense buuuut he explicitly says he stuffed his ears with beeswax (4:01) and that he's lipreading (4:11) in different beast
ALSO Penelope’s viola motif is noticeably missing when the siren is faking to be her!
and in the end the god Athena got her warrior
OMG THATS CRAZY
Thats such an amazing build between the relationships of Odysseus and Eurylochus. Eurylochus starting the story willing to run from Circe and learning from Odysseus to stick up for his men. And then betrayal (The sacrifice of man from the Prophecy) shattering the trust Eurylochus built for him. The way the guilt builds before Scylla, confessing that he betrayed his friend, not knowing Odysseus had already made the choice to sacrifice his men, its so heartbreaking ;-;. Eurylochus taking up his sword against Odysseus (A brother's final stand), and the crew stabbing Odysseus, no longer able to hide their doubt. The final moment with Eurylochus killing the cow, hunger clouding his mind and willing to overlook the crime, and then immediate regret when he realizes what hes done. I think its a beautifully crafted moment and plotline throughout the entire epic.

Which makes even more scary that he is turning into a Monster. Since he was pretending in order to manipulate the siren💀

Knowing that Eurylochus was the one who opened the bag (after being told that would bring the storm back) i don't think he really has a right to be upset with Odyseus in this situation.
Yes, Odyseus was wrong to sacrifice those men. But eurylochus urged him to do exactly that at Circe's palace, and had he *not* gone looking through other people's shit all but a handful of them would have made it home.
Doesn’t make it any easier on Odysseus, but in every telling of the odyssey, the crew pretty much kept them from getting home by being idiots
In defense of Eurylochus in Circe's island, he was right, Circe was actually invencible, and his men were as good as dead, it took a literal Deus ex machina to save them. But Odysseus sacrifice to Scylla was planned, premeditated.
@blakeking1125 For your last point, I’d argue that Eurylochus opening the wind bag was a _relatively_ good thing - not for the hundreds of soldiers on the ships, obviously, but for the citizens of Ithaca. Right after the wind bag is opened in Keep Your Friends Close, who does Odysseus and the crew meet immediately? Poseidon.
Imagine this scenario: you and your crew have returned to Ithaca, unknowing that the cyclops you had fought was Poseidon’s son. During your encounter, you revealed your name and kingdom to the now-blind Polyphemus, then spared him. By the time of the Storm Saga, Poseidon *knows* about your battle with Polyphemus (Jorge said in a shorts video that Poseidon called the storms). And before you could put your foot on the island, Poseidon surfaces from the water with his divine wrath.
Odysseus’ existence alone puts the rest of his men and citizens at risk. Now, back to my point: I believe Eurylochus, in the grand scheme of things, gave Odysseus the time necessary to switch philosophies, in order to defeat Poseidon during his second encounter (spoilers for a future saga, sorry). Yes, the soldiers died, but people were going to die anyway; they *angered* Poseidon. At the very least, the kingdom of Ithaca was spared the first time, when Poseidon exercised his godly power on the 500+ men.
I'm pretty sure the big issue here is that Eurylochos doesn't know when to sacrifice men.
Either that or he just got too hopeful after Ody saved the men from Circe
@@juanjogrimaldos7463 it was also the only way to get home with out a risk of losing the entire crew. They had 3 options try to get pass poseidon who had already kill most of their crew. or try to fight Scylla who the sirens say Poseidon is afraid of or scarfice 6 men. I say he made the smart decision
It’s a bit hypocritical of Eurylochus to say Odysseus gave up the lives of six crew members when arguably eurylochus killed 558 men when he opened the wind bag and even in this saga he got everyone including himself killed by attacking a cow.
Edit an astute fan of this musical enlightened me to the number of men dying being 557 men not 558 because one died at Circe’s island and not on the open sea
You get me!! YOU GET ME not to mention the fact that he was literally supposed to die in the layer of sylla but handed off his torch moments before he got eaten
IKR? he wanted to ditch his men at circes island too and NOW hes mad?
Exactly! Eurylochus was willing to sacrifice others to ensure his own safety on Circe's Island and in Scyllas's lair. Yet when Odysseus uses a small sacrifice of 6 men to ensure their return home, it's outlandish! If Odysseus had decided to fight Scylla, then they could have lost all of the crew, if not very little being left. Odysseus made the optimal play for giving Eurylochus and the rest of his crew up to Zeus to kill at that point.
@@FinalHighwind2004 yea, also the crew -kinda- brought it upon themselves, Odysseus warned them multiple times now to kill the cows
Eurylochus wasn't sacrificing the others in circe saga. He found a source of danger that the rest of his group fell victim to, and because she was a witch, he knew that in the moment the only thing they could do was get everyone else off the island and run. It's not until Hermes gives Odysseus Moly that Ody would've even had a chance against Circe. It wasn't HIS safety, it was the remaining crew.
Odysseus's sacrifice of 6 men were purposeful and selected, as well as it's implied Ody planned to sacrifice Eurylochus for him opening the bag. HE wants to get home to HIS wife. He no longer cares, or is forcing himself to not care, about the crew unless it helps him get home.
Of course Eurylochus is mad at Odysseus. He has been a close friend of his for at least since the trojan war, and he is forced to watch Ody corrupt into a monster of a man. Also, in the Iliad, Ody is literally his brother in law. To know and have such a close connection to someone, just for them to start (from your view) putting everyone in danger, and getting friends killed. I'd be pretty pissed too.
I agree that Eurylochus was a dumbass for opening the wind bag tho, thats honestly when everything went to shizzle, shame on you Eurylochus, do better.
That 'row for your lives' is something else

@@loonelytoon6523 I mean to be honest, he was the one telling Odysseus not to risk pissing the gods off back in luck runs out, that's the only reason I have developed the opinion that he just wanted to die, because he specifically pointed out how dangerous the gods were, and now he's choosing to ignore the chance that a God will take vengeance on them.
The sarcastic “oh no” 😂😂😂
It’s insane that eurylochus is mad even tho pretty much all of the crews death is his fault😭😭love him but ody literally took them to a 10 year war and came out with every single man alive like hun you’re the one that wanted to leave the men behind at circes palace, you opened the wind bag, you killed the cow, like come on
Apparently, it's a skill issue. Ody has skills to keep 600 man alive in a war. He did lose some to cyclops, but there is no way he could have know about him. While, Eury.....well every time he gets involved someone dies. If I remember correctly, he also wanted to raid the cyclops island. Skill issue, I say. Or extreme shortsightedness.
even more funny when it was eurylochus who said to ody in the story "if you wish to marry my sister you must be willing to murder man for her" [yes eurylochus is ody wife brother]
I wonder what would have happened had Odyseus accepted the blame. I don't think Zeus as depicted here is the type to reward selflessness, but if "an act of pride" is the issue then logically humility would be the solution.
He would probably just kill Odysseus and go , I think at least cuz he doesnt sound like he would forgive that easy
I think Zeus would have laughed hard and either just killed Odysseus OR said that his pride was enough of a sacrifice.
Someone had to die and then the people who had died was the she that Zeus represented as pride.
As if... I'd say he would have just killed them all. We already know how the Gods think, and what they hate the most is mortals not dancing exactly to there tunes... Zeus was playing with him, giving him a choice with between bad and worst just to watch him straggle, beg, and break. He is especially known to enjoy breaking mortals for entertainment... Loosing for him is not an option he would ever consider! And he would interpret Andy off script answers as defiance. So the better answer literally does not exist.
“You are the worse kind of good
Cause you're not even great
A greek who reeks of *false righteousness*
That's what I hate”
Ruthlessness, same situation. Ody pisses off Poseidon by blinding Polyphemus and then heroically spares him. To Poseidon this was “false righteousness” arguably because he’d already done the deed, it’s not like it’s any worse if he’s merciful - that’s the minimum for the offended and in Poseidon’s mindset a stupid move in general. Here Odysseus - it doesn’t matter it was actually Eurylochus, mythology logic doesn’t deal in individual responsibility and the gods reasoning like this is the one bit J retained in his world building concerning ethics - pisses Helios off by killing the cows. Let’s assume he took all the blame for his men. False righteousness. It doesn’t undo the deed and it’s stupid, since it goes against his interest. Now, pride. Poseidon *hates* this kinda mindset, Zeus arguably does too and Athena tried to talk Odysseus out of it - even if in the end she seems to embrace Odysseus’ original view, at the beginning, while more rationally than the other Olympians, she reasons like that too. I must add, Athena abandoned Odysseus *precisely* because of that. Ody was abandoned because he chose HIS way over a literal GODDESS’S advice. That’s pride. My point is that to Zeus it would have been even more prideful of Odysseus to take on all the blame, ‘cause he’d choose his moral compass over the gods’, who deal in self-interest. I believe my point here is further proved by the fact Zeus interprets as ‘pride’ a bunch of hopeless men crazy with hunger killing the first edible thing they find, and, later on, Athena besting him ACCORDING TO HIS OWN RULES. Here comes the mythology logic again: sin is determined by whatever pisses the gods off. Gods aren’t reasonable, they aren’t paragons of universal justice as we conceive it, they’re just some irritable guys with a WAY BIG gun. So in the end I agree with whoever said Zeus would have zapped them all.
That "let them dround " was cold

If you believe one of the anomatic for polyphemus he also stayed in perfect pitch while polyphemus was literally crushing his ribs (I mean he had him in his hands so, his ribs probably weren't in the best state) it is also worth noting that Odysseus technically has Divine blood, so I think him being able to do some impossible things does actually make sense

Ngl, I thought Ody was honest about being scared of the water after… well…
(Motions to Poseidan)
Its wild the songs go from them killing the sirens to him killing 6 men like damn ody
2:32 I Odysseus, buddy, I know it was probably common sense that she was a siren (and I'm glad you were sure about that beforehand) are you that far gone that it doesn't even phase you to shoot something that looks like your wife in the face
Bro has been WAITING for that. After all, he had to shoot SOMETHING at his wife's face, after all, it's been years since he saw her.
@@JesusChrist-lu1vj fair enough, I just can't get the image out of my head of Odysseus suddenly pulling out a Glock, and taking pop shots at the siren pretending to be his wife (though I think you're joke makes this situation a lot funnier than it was)
It was a mix of the extremely logical and cold monster he has turned into with the fact that he is profoundly angry that she is trying to use his wife's face against him.
In that moment his cold rage overrides his love for her face. Besides he gave her several chances to stop after her had what he wanted from her.
@@josephflynn9792it definitely does show how different he's become, I don't think there are many other people who could do what he did even if they know that it logically had to be someone impersonating their wife (though of course I think the man is tired of having his wife's face or name used against him)

Mantle convection describes the movement of the mantle as it transfers heat from the white-hot core to the brittle lithosphere.
How Mantle Convection Works Explanation of the process
Role of heat and temperature differences
heat deals with thermal energy, whereas temperature is more concerned with molecular kinetic energy.
hot material rises, cold material sinks and the induced flow governs plate tectonic and volcanic activity, as well as chemical segregation and cooling of the entire planet.
not me in my sleep hazed state hearing we filled our bees with earswax
Odysseus is to blame for the Cyclops, even though he had no way of knowing he had Poseidon on speed dial. Athena sure didn't try all that hard to warn him.
The fact remains that even though Poseidon was after him, he found a way around and would have made it home. Once there, do people really think Ody wouldn't sacrifice himself to Poseidon to save his wife son and kingdom? Like he'd do anything to get back to them, but if he is already there and was offered no other option I would hard pressed to believe he would let his whole kingdom die at that point in the story.
Eury opening the bag absolutely sealed the fate of most of the men there. Hence his extreme guilt. He also makes a poor captain because he goes and does the exact same thing Ody did to the Cyclops, only he had no idea or plan to circumvent it and had an actual warning not to do so that Ody lacked. His stance on the sacrifice is empathetic, but if he had known about it prior would he still be gung ho to fight Scylla and likely cause everyone's deaths? This riding on the coattails of admitting he opened the bag, directly ruining Odys plan that would have seen them home, and leading to the deaths of all the men by Posiedon, plus his mutiny on top of that really makes it even ground for Odysseus to choose himself over the crew.
Odysseus would have had to face Poseidon anyway, but had they been home it's hard to say the cost would have been higher, since Odysseus wouldn't have traveled through the underworld and been changed by the experience. It's also possible that the wind god may have offered some form of protection for completing their game.

16:16 - Suffering Reprise
I read a very insightful comment last time about Scylla... Why did Odysseus not use the sirens' bodies and put torches on them so no crew died? XD Well... nevermind!
@@CassieBaldur Well I guess Ody made the same mistake as Poseidon in mistaking sadism for ruthlessness.
He was likely so caught up in finally having power over one of his adversaries that he failed to realize that sparing them might’ve been the more logical (and by extention ruthless) option
I've read in other Scylla animatic something, Scylla is a sentient being... She can tell the difference betwen a Siren and a Human, so, if Ody chose to use the sirens body... They would'nt work, cause she know they are sirens (I'm not so good at English, I hope I explained this nice)
@@moigarcia9731
But would she actually care if it's human or siren. Meat is meat after all....
Scylla doesn't eat sirens.
@@frederickambaritaa8057That's like saying that person wouldn't care if they were eating a dog or a cow, as they're both animal meat.

As soon as Ody learned about Scylla he should’ve just kept 6 Sirens alive to sacrifice instead of setting up his men, he played himself.
Scyllca specifically won't eat siren as they're often depicted as her children.
His men would've been eaten either way, Scylla doesn't eat sirens. Doing that would've been pointless.
Sirens are her children she wouldn’t have eaten them
@@beaniebaby7725 What ? Where do you find this information ? It's the first time I hear that. Sirens are usually born monster and then their parents are Achelous (river god) and a muse or Calliope. Hesiod said Phorcys is their father so they would be the sisters of Scylla and it's the more close than I found. The other explanation are metamorphosis and it's by Demeter usually (nymph who were supposed to be with her daughter when she get kidnapped).
But I'm interested where you found the idea of Scylla being their mother !
@@Senekata4 Hades as well as certain myths take her on as a motherly role. Not like birth mother but similar to an adopted mother. Even in certain parts of the Odyssey they are referred to as "her sirens". I could've explained that better but it was bed time lol.
Ody better than me bc if I had the chance during judgement I'd be singing "if you want all the power you must shoulder all the blame" to Eurylochus. Like bro it's YOU who did this.
From what I understand Scylla wouldn't eat Siren meat.
Also they cutting off the siren tales was so that some could eat.
I could be incorrect though.

Zeus bringing his wife into the picture at Thunderbringer was just a low play 😂
Odysseus: Please don't make me do this
Penelope: I will take the suffering from you
Odysseus: Aight, I choose my wife
Eury: *opens the windbag, causing Poseidon to kill 500 men (most of which likely weren't even aware of the bag and/or weren't in the cave with Polyphemus to begin with)*
Eury: *suggests leaving everyone to die in Circe's palace*
Also Eury: "Uh-oh, you knowingly sacrificed 6 people, cue in Mutiny, guys!"
Who do you think Zeus was talking about pride? Cause he said pride was a woman....could it be Penelope?
Zeus was referring to pride allegorically, using the one thing he knows best as an analogy (you can probably guess what)
He's saying that he has the power to break down and expose a persons pride the same way he breaks down and exposes his many ""lovers""
@@frederickambaritaa8057Zeus is the freakiest god like ever and he personifies pride as a woman he can manipulate and have his way with
@@pencilRC1 Zeus is THE freak
It's also not just Zeus saying he can expose somebody's pride, but that HE is the master of pride. Pride is his Domain, much like Women are his domain, at least to his mine. He's both telling him he made a mistake letting letting himself grow full of pride, but also sort of a "How dare you try to take something that belongs to me?"
@@matainer That last part was funny because Zeus takes women who aren't his all the time so that's kinda hypocritical of him 😂😂😂😂
Ok ok but like.... They had sirens. Why didn't they keep the sirens and give them to eat at Scylla ? I mean... meat is meat. And if she eats who take the torches, it would be easy to put them in decoy. If they were scared the sirens will attack them, they could just cut their tongues and part of their tails by exemple so they couldn't run.
And with that, problem solved : no one die in the crews and they can all passed and the theme of monster is respected. It make the more sens !
Ok so people already thought about that 😂My bad
I think she doesnt accept sea creatures
penelope why !, you know i’m to shy!! 🥰🥰🥺🥺
Ok, but Ody is so in the wrong here. So many people say that eury is in the wrong. In truth, they both are. But you got to take into account that ody tried to kill eury, how would you take that, if someone you trusted, you're best friend, someone you looked up to, tried to kill you. Also, Eury was angry at Ody because he was a heartless monster. How he is prepared to kill eury, though eury was not ready. Eury saw that ody did't care about hos crew, also Ody is a KING, so someone like that is good in charge. Eury is in the right here
Odysseus tried to kill Eurylochus because Eury was responsible for all of their suffering. If it weren't for Eury, they would've been in Ithica. Over 500 men would not have died (in this version), they'd never have dealt with circe and never have had to make the sacrifice to Scylla.
Yeah but sure was also in the wrong he showed he would in fact do the same thing when he handed torch to someone else and he killed the cows pretty much killing everyone
Yeah but eury is just as horrible. Ody even said "you would've done the same" but instead of denying eury said "if you want all the power then you must carry all the blame." like um...hypocrites much?
Not to mention Eury was ready to leave his crew when they met circe so he pretty much "sacrifice" them to. Not to mention Ody had to do it, if he didn't light up those torches scylla might've decided to attack the boat or even the crew that's rowing, causing them to be stuck there.
Not to mention Eury was willing to kill the cow despite ody saying it will kill them all. So yeah, eury succs
?????
No? Eurylochus attacked him first.
Thank you
Going from Thunder bringer to Legendary is going to be an experience.
hey thaz for the full track
Eurylochus: "Captain..."
Odysseus: "Nope, don't try that. I'm pretty sure you're the captain now, Mr Mutineer."
I can just imagine ody’s face while he got stabbed by his own crew. It would just embody “my crew really ain’t shit” perfectly
come on Eurylochus, you wanted to ditch your crew at Circes' island just a few songs and maybe a saga ago and now you're mad?
Tbf, Odysseus spent the whole story so far repeatingly preaching about altruism and keeping eachother alive. Also abandoning someone to avoid more deaths is different than directly throwing people into their deaths without elaboration.
@@shadesteel9247 also like was he really willing to kill his friend to get home? like damn
I honestly got fooled by the siren, I thought this was a flashback along with the theory that monster was the intermission song, a fade to black. Thought this was gonna be an interesting flashback to something that happened a while ago to show growth n maybe forshadow the next adventure, but that howl and 'let's cut the charade' made me go "oooooooooh right, he played peekaboo with the sirens'
Yeah it trully feels like Ody should have just kept 6 siren alive for Scylla to feed im sure she wouldnt really care about what shes eating but why was fishing always seems to be so impossible like come on you wont find sheeps but even sharks or honestly sirens tail would do
Watching the transition of a good soul to a ruthless one is a thrilling mess.
i wanted to hear about ody being tied up to his ship's mast, listening to the siren's song while his crew tries to keep him from killing himself, but yeah, that wouldnt fit with the musicals's story
"Captain?"
"I have to see her."
"But we'll die..."
"THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED THE COW, I LITERALLY WARNED YOU!"
“Good morning sleepy head, you’ve been resting for a wile”
0:00 Suffering
2:30 Different Beast
6:00 Scylla
8:55 Mutiny
13:49 Thunder Bringer
I think the reason why Eurylochus moralizes Odysseus over sacrificing 6 men when he killed 558 due to paranoia was not because of the number of casualties (dying to poseidon can be seen as just happenstance, simple bad weather at sea), but because of the nature of their deaths (Eurylochus was simply inept, Odysseus actively chose this), now, Eurylochus probably wanted to throw a mutiny for a while, he just meeded a reason to ryle the crew behind him, Odysseus must've thought this too, since he wanted Eurylochus gone too, he just got lucky to pass the torch, which made it clear his captain wanted to get rid of him already, so with Odysseus getting unstable enough as to be willing to give out lives for his own motives and already on his black list, he saw it necessary to step up, so he brought that as his argument to make the crew realize none of them were safe from Odysseus.
Honest? E opening the wind bag and killing the cows? How stupid can one first mate be?
We learn is “Different Beast” the Odysseus was just reading lips and couldn’t hear. So how did he know what key to sing in and harmonize with the Siren.
To the people who say Eurylocus deserves what happened to him and the rest of the crew, I propose one question. What does Odysseus deserve?
a nap
well he's going to live the rest of his life with the guilt of killing his entire crew. They all stayed away from home for 12+ years, but he's the only one who survived and got to see home. Isn't this enough?
@@JustMe-gl5llYeah but people are really angry and stanning Ody way too much in this scenario.
Now, you no longer have to wonder how,
How much longer until your luck runs out.
How much longer you must go about
Your lives like this because you die like this.

Oddy after killing the sirens: wanna play mermaids in the ocean with these?
euroylchus. Biggest hyppocrite around
That's what I said in the most liked comment reply section
So is Ody. That’s kind of the point of the musical
@@comradekolbot2220 is Ody a hypocrite?
I only just realised that in the original version of the oddessy, the sirens are ment to be prophets and almost all their prophecies have come true. So the sirens saying "i will take the suffering from you" was actually hinting at the suffering oddyseus would experience later on in the saga
Nice, thank you for your work
Yo what did i miss? i was listening to my Christmas music and then this plays. AND I LOVED IT WHERE IS IT FROM
i am the only one who has been lisenting to epic the musicsal for over 5 hours-
Man scllyas got pipes
Something occurred to me, could they have gone through Scylla without torches and all made it? Or was the cost Ody mentioned during Suffering that 6 people would need sacrificed?
Scylla is a six headed sea monster, a man for each head.
I suppose if there was no torches, she would have just attacked the whole ship to find something and if she had done that, there would have been way more than six deaths
Think of it like a toll.
If you try to go around it, then they will just take everything.
So instead of 6, it would have been all of them. Or at least their boat would be destroyed and then they'd drown.
We don't know for certain but that is what I take from this.
