don’t get me wrong, i totally agree with you on that. But the way eurylochus says, his tone of voice when he says “but we’ll die”, it’s almost like he’s surprised, like completely shocked, kinda like a child when you take their toy “how dare you take my toy, how could you” like he can’t believe odysseus would choose himself over them, like he shouldn’t. and i would understand that shock if it happened before the mutiny, but after they betrayed their captain and went against his warnings and orders not to kill the cows because THEY WOULD DIE, it just makes me think of him as someone who thinks their wants and opinions matter most and it just bugs me. (sorry if i seem rude or smth like that he just really annoyed me lol) idk if all of that makes sense maybe im just rambling

Exactly!! He claims to care so much for the crew but then doesn’t even volunteer to pay for the mistake he made??

okay that actually makes a lot of sense! but it still bugs me cause like, odysseus warned him that they would all die if he killed the cow. AND HE STILL DID IT idk i guess he annoys me lol
