Odysseus: People who say “go big or go home” seriously underestimate my willingness to go home. Odysseus: it’s literally my only goal for most of the day.

Calypso was bedding Odysseus against his will every night for 7 years.

A week has 7 days and there are about 4 weeks in a month. Every month has on average 30 days. Or there are 365 days in a year.

Add them up and you will realize that Odysseus was raped more than 2500 times.

Let that sink in!

Odysseus: You guys don't want to mess with me! Eurylochus: Yeah. He will straight up cry in public. Don't try him Odysseus: Exactly, I will stra- Odysseus: Odysseus, tearing up: Why would you say something like that?

[legendaryfugitives]

Odysseus, Telemachus, and their descendent, Ulysses, in Legendary Fugitives be like...

Odysseus: Then I'll become the Monster

I will deal the blow

And I'll become the Monster

Like none they've ever known

Telemachus: Give me sirens and a cyclops

Give me giants and a hydra

I know life and fate are scary

But I wanna be legendary

Ulysses: Soon may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day, when the tonguing is done

We'll take our leave and go

Okay. So I've already talked about Krishna-Arjun and Athena-Odysseus parallels in very brief.

They both have a mentor God x mortal disciple/best friend relationship (KrishnArjun be a little more *cough* intimate *cough* perhaps) and both Krishna and Athena guide their mortal besties through the war and life in general. Beautiful.

BUT. There is this one similarity YET a difference between these two pairs that I've been dying to talk about, and that is Arjun dreading the Kurukshetra war and Odysseus thinking of whether to kill Polyphemus or not.

You know where I'm going with this.

In both the instances we can see Krishna and Athena scolding them for being a coward, for being indecisive and having second thoughts about such an grave moment of their lives as this. We can clearly see the frustration in both the Gods over the hesitance of their mortal besties.

But here's where the difference comes into play. While Krishna's reprimands on Arjun finally worked after the entire recitation of the Gita and then showing his Vishwaroop, and the archer boih finally proceeded with the war,...... Odysseus didn't listen to Athena, and didn't kill Polyphemus, despite her reprimands, which then, as we know, led to their breakup. THEN Odysseus's act of not killing the cyclops was brought up by Poseidon, about how his mercifulness will one day lead to his doom, and that sometimes, killing is way better than forgiving.

Just thought it was an interesting parallel yet a distinction between these two duos.

PS: I forgot to add this for disclaimer but I am aware that Athena-Odysseus parting ways is only in the Epic musical, and not in the actual epics.
