I like the progression of Odysseus "causing" deaths. Initially through inaction (mercy to the cyclops), then active inaction (torches for scylla), until finally direct action (suitors).

I also like to think that Scylla saying “we are the same, you and I” is some kind of foreshadowing to 600 Strike, since Sirenelope told us earlier that Poseidon is afraid of Scylla, and we all know how Vengeance ended

I've noticed this that he mirrors the other monsters he's come across in the song Odysseus he says "I have had Enough" and his name is chanted in a similar way to how Polyphemus' name is chanted in-

Phevie :
A cool parallel no one talks about: in ‘Odysseus’ the choir chants his name phonetically, just like with Polyphemus’ name in Survive. Odysseus is the first monster the suitors encounter

I'm also a massive fan of the back lyrics chanting Odysseus in the same way Polyphemus is chanted - it kinda moves through how he has become like each of his foes

Odysseus picking off the suitors is just so brilliantly executed (pun intended). I am obsessed with the Odysseus song.

Ody didn't hide that he'd be a monster if it called for it! Literally said "deep down I would TRADE THE WORLD". (Also "Deep Down" LIKE ALL THOSE LINES IN SCYLLA)

I like the idea that before Scylla he's wracking his brain trying to think of a solution, and once Eurylicus said he opened the wind bag, Odysseus decided Eury would choose who dies

The moment I heard the keep your head down line, I said "ok Scylla, calm down" and realized that my brain made a joke about a realization before I realized it

Kayden | he/they :
basically the entire song "Odysseus" in Ithaca saga, is a compilation of parallels of the monsters he faced and the monster he became because of that

Scylla is one of my favourite songs too. males this whole parallel even better

Also look at the theme of song names. We’ve got Polyphemus, Scylla, Charybdis… and Odysseus. The only songs with names in them are those about monsters >:)

CharlieSFer :
also it was all foreshadowed since Just a Man. "DEEP DOWN I would trade the world to see my son and wife", then in Scylla she starts w DEEP DOWN many times to remind him of what lies deep within him

unrelated.. but when he spears poseidon, on the like 'look what you made me' poseidons scream sounds like an unfinished 'warrior of the mind' motif. which is brilliant. Odysseus used his head to-

It’s fun, how over the course of the saga’s we constantly hear the “But when does a man become a monster!” Motif over and over. But at the very end, when Penelope sings;

Quoth the Corvid :
You know what’s also kinda messed up? Nowhere in that song does Odysseus tell Eurylochus to hand out those torches. Ody heard that betrayal & was so done with him & he just ASSUMES to give them out 👀

Not to mention, in the first monster song Polyphemus, there are 13 Club strikes in it. Odysseus shoots 13 of the suitors in the same timing scheme during the song as well

Also the song titles when they’re facing monsters are just the names of the monsters (Scylla, Polyphemus, Charybdis) and in the Ithaca saga, the song where Odysseus slaughters the suitors is named—
