oh wait. i interpretated No Longer You as Tiresias saying "i can't help you if you don't change" meaning that becoming the monster is the only way to get home.

but is it what he meant? or did Tiresias just straight up refuse to help because he saw who Odysseus is going to become and he didn't want to help this person?

#i'm trying not to think about prophecies too much because i end up thinking about determinism and free will #does a prophet get to change the future by chosing what to tell other people?#i'm not smart enough to answer this #fia.post #epic the musical #“i see past and future running free” tells me that his vision is not just some vague fragments it's continuous and responsive to changes #maybe he can't prevent the bloodbath that is suitor slaying but he can not take part in helping the murderer #or does it even count as not taking part if his words still influenced odysseus to become the monster?#or maybe tiresias doesn't care and is saying presenting the future as it is #i don't knowwwww i don't understandddddddd
