translations of πολύτροπος in the odyssey/john silver.
"Polytropos, the first description we get of Odysseus...The prefix poly means ‘many’ or ‘multiple.’ Tropos means ‘turn.’ ‘Many’ or ‘multiple’ could suggest that he’s much turned, as if he is the one who has been put in the situation of having been to Troy, and back, and all around, gods and goddesses and monsters turning him off the straight course that, ideally, he’d like to be on. Or, it could be that he’s this untrustworthy kind of guy who is always going to get out of any situation by turning it to his advantage. It could be that he’s the turner."
"That’s all I want. To walk away from the sea and find some peace. "

also it kinda makes no sense to push the idea that leopardstar was this pariah outcast bc her mom died when she was born when TPB had her as like this vain and brutal person who commits war crimes and violence and shit while being a Girlboss or something crookedstar’s promise furthers that by saying her mother dying made everyone spoil her and put the idea in her head that she was special and couldnt do wrong. i know writing antagonistic protagonists that genuinely fuck up bc theyre bad people and have to work to earn everyone’s trust back makes the erins scream and cry and throw up and everyone has to be a sympathetic baby who was bullied and outcast and thats why they do war crimes now but yknow they could at least shake it up a bit
