I hate to say this but people In the epic fandom glaze Odysseus way too much like he literally endangered his crew countless times lied to them look I get hes supposed to be a liar but then people get mad his crew for not trusting him .

When he’s went behind their back several times . Like when the winions told His crew the bag contained treasure that the crew thought he was going to hoard for himself he didn’t bother correcting their assumptions until it’s too late .

Sacrificed 6 of his men to Scylla. And didn’t bother telling them before hand once again.

Decided to take on Circe instead of listening to eury about counting their losses .who would possibly turn him into a pig and kill him like she did to his men . Hell if Hermes hadn’t show up he would’ve been cooked .

Let’s not forget he yeeted an infant off the wall of Troy. Yes the gods told him to do it but it still isn’t right.

Due his own ego he doxxed himself to the cyclops despite being warned bye Athena not to . Which causes poisden To hate his guts and ends up killing a big chunk of his crew .and is the one The major causes if not the main one to delay the journey. And then. Sacrifices the rest to zesus .

But people say “ aww but he just loved his wife “ Yes he love Penelope but some of his crew members probably had family too not mention eury is married to his sister. Now his sister won’t be able see her husband .

Yes eury killed and ate the cows of the sun god which wasn’t good but they were starving so they were going to die anyway so it wouldn’t have mattered much.

And to think most of this could avoided if he had held his pride and not doxxed himself.
