A great leader surrounded by chucklenuts
Odysseus: *Takes 600 men to a 10 year war and no one died there*
The men afterwards: *open the bag of winds that leads them to get killed, blames Odysseus for it despite none of it happening if THEY DIDN'T OPEN THE DAMN BAG*
The rest of the men: *Goes into a random house against their second in commands orders and eat a strangers food that turns them into pigs and Odysseus had to save their asses A SECOND TIME*
One guy: *gets drunk there and breaks his neck by falling off a cliff and blames Odysseus for that for some wack ass reason*
The rest of the men: *Blame Odysseus for keeping his wits over his hubris and running away from Scylla and not dooming the whole rest of the fleet instead to kill her*
The rest of them: *Told one thing, ONE THING, not to eat the cattle of Helios, BUT THEN THEY EAT THE CATTLE OF HELIOS THAT CAUSES THEM ALL TO DIE AFTERWARDS*
Yes telling the cyclops his name was cool yet stupidly ballsy move in the musical and just stupidly ballsy in the ancient tale but let's be real here what happened to the crew was their own fault.

maturing is realising that neither the Trojans nor the Greeks were responsible for the Trojan war, the gods were.

What goes around comes around
The Iliad: *Diomedes being at his wits end about Odysseus not listening and opening the bag*
The Odyssey, during the song "Keep your friends close": *Odysseus being at his wits end about his crew opening the bag after spending 9 full days and nights not sleeping*
---- the aftermath ----
Diomedes: "Hey Ody, look what I found, a bag! Hope no one opens it" *hands Odysseus the bag and runs, waiting to see what happens*
Odysseus: *hears the screaming of 550 men while looking at the bag, stares blankly at it before calmly setting the bag down and curling up into a ball in the corner.*
Diomedes: "...."
Athena: "And this is what mortals call "Trauma Therapy? .... Where's the therapy part-?"
Diomedes: "Listen I'm doing the best I can with my best friend that YOU broke by the way"

I love how absolutely petty the Greek gods are in every single adaptation of the Greek epics, like the way Odysseus in Epic the musical (in ‘just a man’ ) doesn’t want to kill Andromache and Hectors baby (sorry I’m blanking on the name atm) and says he will take him back to Ithaca and raise him but Zeus is like ‘no the fuck you wont, try it and see what happens, yknow what, I’ll tell everyone else too just so we can watch your downfall if you do.’ Like BRO CALM DOWN😭
