Eurylochus Is Just So HUMAN - Tumblr Posts

7 months ago

Listen, I understand why people are upset with Eurylochus (Epic). I get it! He makes choices that damn the entire crew, questions Odysseus when he shouldn't, etc. He's easy to blame.

But can you blame him? For opening the bag a god had given them when all the last god did was drown hundreds of their men? For being afraid on Circe's island and wanting so desperately to just go home? For being angry when the man who is known for his intelligence, who REFUSED to leave behind a single man, who SAID THAT NO ONE ELSE WOULD DIE, then sacrificed 6 men? Six people you've fought beside for a decade in a ruthless war and survived every battle, problem, and smite the gods had sent?

Can you blame him for his hunger?
