I just realized something ironic (or maybe I'm just slow)
So in Full Speed Ahead, Eurylochus and Polites is introduced but let's focus on Eurylochus' introduction
Eurylochus: "Captain"
Odysseus: "Eurylochus."
Eurylochus: "Six Hundred Men"
(Six Hundred Men)
"Six Hundred Men with big mouths to feed, and we've run out of supply to eat."
(Curse the war, our food store's depleted)
So as his character introduction, he opens up the concern of not having enough food. The risk of the crew starving, andd in Mutiny and Thunder Bringer. The end of his character arc is because he and the crew killed Helios' cattle driven by hunger and they faced judgement because of it.
And I just thought about that today and how tragically ironic it is.
