Maybe A Gruesome Death Is Absolute Shit But A Little Better If It's In Your Native Land? - Tumblr Posts

Constantly burdened by the knowledge that Odysseus didn't have to kill Astyanax. Had him just brought him along for the journey back to Ithaca like he proposed in "the horse and the infant", the child would have 100% died anyway. Probably either drowned or starved, but at least an effort to keep him alive would have been made and Odysseus wouldn't have had to hurl that poor little boy down from the city walls.

also the gods kida suck
zeus makes it a point to tell him that there is not other possivle solution and the boy *has* to be killed right there and there
but it makes no sense
he would have died anyway on the journey
why did they want Odysseus to commit such a crime?
or am i wrong?
and for the child to die in the land of his ancestors and his family was actually a small favor to him?
maybe a gruesome death is absolute shit but a little better if it's in your native land?
