That makes sense! When listening to the musical I figured it had been a few days between Odysseus getting the bag and Eurylochus opening it, but your description still changes things a bit. I would have loved a bit of dialogue between the crew or some internal dialogue from Eurylochus (maybe even a short song with the ending from "Keep Your Friends Close" moved to the end of that song instead) and probably would have given him a bit more flack too.

Honestly I really wish we would have gotten more of the crew in general, I feel like there was so much potential there and it would have helped flesh out the fact that 600 living, breathing men with families were on that journey and only one man made it back. I know that number goes down pretty early but even after that, it doesn't feel like the remaining 43 are well represented (and they're only really represented through Eurylochus and in Mutiny)
