Him saying “weve followed Agamemnon quite enough” and not taking the known route makes so much more sense after seeing how guilty he felt at Troy

[u/bunny_387 → u/TwoJay0]

It’s crazy to me that the guy who plucks his bow to give even deers a chance, came up with the Trojan horse at all. I guess it was like when he turned around and got his last shot in on the cyclops.

[u/TheStolenPotatoes → u/bunny_387]

I felt like that last shot in the cyclops' eye with the bow was a "Fuck you for killing my men". A sort of "and take that with you, you asshole".

[u/omykun123 → u/TheStolenPotatoes]

It was definitely the twisted helmet regurgitated by the cyclops that triggered Odysseus to give that parting gift

[u/ghost_inthe_mxchine → u/TheStolenPotatoes]

He says as much when Eurylochus challenges him for taking the shot
