had so much fun drawing all of them :DD

Finding out abt their old romance subplot has ruined my life (/j) They’re genuinely so fun to draw! I just wanna pick them up and put them in a bag to carry them around like ppl do with chihuahuas. Honestly expect more of them :b As well as other Epic ships in general.

Also no we’re not gonna acknowledge my sudden appearance after 4 months-

i heard polites and perimedes were supposed to have some sort of subplot

I want the Epic: The musical community to know that the prophet in the underworld is called Tiresias and that he was changed into a woman for seven years by Hera, became a priestes for her, and got married and had childeren. He was able to answer Hera and Zeus when they argued about if men or women enjoyed sex more (it was women btw!)

LET THE CREEPY BLIND PRIEST WHO DRINKS BLOOD AND SPEAKS OMINOUS OMENS BE GNC!!!!!

screams screams screams MEDIA ILLITERACY WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME

if i see ONE MORE PERSON call eurylochus a hypocrite for being mad at odysseus for sacrificing those men to scylla, imma lose it!!

eurylochus DIDNT KNOW opening the bag would lead them to a murderous poseidon - and poseidon that was only so murderous because ODYSSEUS was a hubristic idiot who doxxed himself. do y’all think if eurylochus hadn’t opened the bag, poseidon just would never have attacked them???

and as for abandoning the men to circe, eurylochus had no idea that it would be possible to convince her to turn the men back - for all he knew, this was just going to lead his and odysseus’s deaths.

eurylochus is not the central character so we don’t get to see his thoughts but subtextually it’s pretty clear that he is also going through a character arc: while odysseus is learning to be ruthless, eurylochus is learning to never just give up, to trust that odysseus is going to get them all home.

eurylochus is angry with odysseus because odysseus purposefully sacrificed those men. odysseus did not warn them, did not try to come up with a way to defeat scylla, he just let six of their men be gruesomely killed.

and, finally, (and i personally thought this was clear) eurylochus killed the cow because he was STARVING and CLEARLY SUICIDAL. “how much longer must i suffer now? how much longer must i push through doubt? how much longer must i go about my life like this, when people die like this?” this is CLEARLY eurylochus at his last straw, he can’t take it anymore. he knows they’ll die and he (and seemingly the rest of the crew, minus odysseus) has accepted this.

it’s not until odysseus tries to make a plan to save them that he’s shocked out of his suicidal mindset and begins to regret the choice he and the crew made.
