So, as I was listening to the Underworld saga today again (specifically Monster) I realized something. In Monster there is an instrument that sounds a lot like the one used to show that Polites is there/singing (I specifically kept checking Open Arms, since it has the most Polites) it just sounds… more somber, a sad resignation. Where the ones in Open Arms sound lively and full of joy the ones in Monster just sound tired and defeated. I checked to make sure it wasn’t a Poseidon thing, what with him embracing Ruthlessness, and it’s not.

Now, this might be completely wrong, they might not even be the same instrument, I’m no musician, but with how much of a genius Jorge is, I wouldn’t put it past him.

All I can imagine now is Polites watching Odysseus through Monster, begging him to reconsider, to greet the world with open arms, only to realize that Odysseus can’t hear him over the sounds of his own grief and anger. Even if he could hear him, he wouldn’t listen to him. He throws away Polites’ ideology, throws away the part of himself that believed in Polites’ ideology, and all he can do is watch. Watch as his best friend abandons kindness and embraces ruthlessness, watch as he turns himself into a monster, watch as he leaves him in the Underworld, forever changed. The Odysseus he knew, the Odysseus he grew up with (if we’re going by Let Me Be Your Light) is gone. Dead. And all he could do is watch.

NO LONGER YOU WAS AMAZING! I KNEW IT WOULD BE, BUT STILL THE MAN WHO STANDS BESIDE PENELOPE? ITS ODYSSEUS, BUT HE STILL ASKS WHO BECAUSE THE MAN HE WILL BECOME IS UNFAMILIAR TO HIM-

I just realized something...

Eurylochus is the one who opened the bag of winds.

It was something so obvious because of the Puppeteer song and what happened in the ocean saga, but I'm only now connecting the dots.

and honestly? Thats having nerve.

Eurylochus, who made himself look like someone super upright, THE SECOND IN COMMAND, Eurylochus who COMPLAINED to Odysseus about not doing anything against Scylla (a sea monster that was in its natural habitat, fighting would have been suicide) when NOT HE did anything against her, when he was willing to ABANDONE his men on Circe's island and questions Odysseus's leadership skills using THOSE EXAMPLES (look, Ody didn't always do things right, but there really weren't any big losses until the Ocean Saga and he handle them very well)--

the same Eurylochus that if he had not opened the pocket of winds which Odysseus spent SLEEPLESS NIGHTS watching so that no one opened (and told them verbatim NOT TO OPEN) they would not have retreated when they were about to reach Ithaca, sending the entire fleet to where POSEIDON was, WHERE ALMOST EVERYONE DIED, THEY ESCAPED BY A HAIR-

And yet he has the Audacity to say that "if Odysseus wants all the power he must take all the BLAME"? WHEN WAS IT BECAUSE OF HIS STUPIDITY THAT THEY WERE IN THE UNDERWORLD IN THE FIRST PLACE? THE REASON WHY SO MUCH PEOPLE DIED IN THE FIRST PLACE??

I'm not fine guys.

Odysseus: *Monster starts playing* I will ensure that this man will be me

The constant temptation and promise of everything and nothing in the odyssey. The sirens promise odysseus to know, and the lotus eaters promise him to forget. He could be an immortal, and he could be a beggar. Be known, and be a stranger. He could be alive, and he could be dead. He could be odysseus, and he could be nobody. And the man of many ways tries to be a little bit of everything.

A/N Demeter characterization—

The goddess is a sweetheart, no doubt. She would always be representative of the lovelier side of divine motherhood (to the extent of my readings, of course). She is, to me however, a terrifying force accumulated from sheer disgust of machismo.

While contemporary reimaginings often antagonize her in support of HadesxPersephone, I take her from the perspective of a woman who herself was a victim of r*pe. What tier of love it must be to accept wholeheartedly a daughter borne from malice?

And only later on be swindled by her brothers, her family. She searches for her daughter and they knew where the girl was kept. What twisted mind does that?

My take on her is dark, for sure. But there’s more to this antagonism that meets the eye, more than a nuisance to her daughter’s “happy marriage,” more than mere sulking.

With powers unleashed, she could be one of Olympus’ most terrifying nightmares.
