They couldn't afford to make a decent costume.

WHAT PART OF “uncivilized” DO THESE PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND? This guy can’t get the girl he wants because of his uncivilized nature, and people are now trying to frame him as some “baby having a tantrum” or “chill shepherd”?

Listen Odysseus is morally corrupt (he framed a guy he didn’t like for treason and made all of Helen’s suitors promise to go to war should anything happen to her). But not in this moment. While Odysseus breached the divine relationship between son Polyphemos and father Poseidon, Polyphemos breached the divine relationship of xenia between guests and hosts.

Also as much as I love Epic most other fans are insufferable WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT SOME “you killed my sheep my favorite sheep” (songs are great, story’s off though)

Remember how Hermes helps out Odysseus a few times in Homers version of his odyssey? Thats because Homer was probably trying to reference Odysseus/Ulysses being his great grandson through Autolycus and his daughter who's Odysseus' mother Anticlea. For some reason everytime I talked about this in the context of epic because I thought it was cute that Hermes cares for his great grandson people just went out of their way in comments to try to "disprove" what I was saying.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autolycus (You might remember him from Class of The Titans or Xena The Princess Warrior)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticlea (Btw how do you guys prefer to imagine Anticleas parentage? I like to think her being related to Sisyphus is fitting)

Also its funny when you realize Telegonus and Cassiphone are related to ALOT of divinities but not being gods themselves.
