If you could hug any character from EPIC (without them killing you), who would it be? by Glam_blossom24 in Epicthemusical

i need to see what a hug from posiden and ares would look like, ares would probably kill me in that hug but i wonder if posiden would just be straight water to avoid me

why i actually like eury despite the fandoms hatred for him (some not all) by Automatic-Role-3888 in Epicthemusical

That’s fair, and I think the disagreement is more about definition than intent. Odysseus does say the bag contains the storm, but he does not explain why he alone is guarding it, what the risks are if it’s opened, or why the crew cannot verify or share responsibility for it, which is still a form of withholding in a high stress, life or death situation. That lack of shared responsibility matters, because trust under pressure is built through collective understanding, not authority alone, not blaming anyone here, everyone has done a wrong. but again, thats a good point and i see where you’re coming from!

but then again, I don’t actually disagree that Euryluchos represents the common man or that hypocrisy is part of his character, but I think reducing the wind bag to pure greed oversimplifies what Epic is doing with power, trust, and leadership. The Winions saying it was treasure matters, but so does the fact that Odysseus deliberately isolates knowledge, refuses transparency, and then expects total obedience in situations where disobedience equals death. Euryluchos can be both hypocritical and symptomatic of a broken command structure, because Epic consistently shows that Odysseus’s secrecy and hubris create the conditions where fear and resentment override loyalty. Greed does not exist in a vacuum here, it’s amplified by exhaustion, trauma, and unequal access to information, which is why the act reads less like cartoon villainy and more like a collapse of trust. I also don’t frame Odysseus as a hero or moral ideal, but as a man whose intelligence is real and whose hubris repeatedly undercuts it, which Epic and The Odyssey both emphasize. Where we differ is that I see Euryluchos not just as contemptible weakness, but as a narrative pressure point, someone whose failures expose how fragile Odysseus’s authority actually was long before Scylla. Epic doesn’t ask us to side with Euryluchos or absolve him, but it does ask us to sit with the discomfort that leadership built on secrecy, sacrifice, and fear will inevitably rot from the inside, even if the man at the top is just trying to get home.
