SO TRUE CHESS!!! aaaugh the progression of his character is so so good. From the beginning he was always the "strike first , think later" kind of guy which contrasts Polites' try to be as peaceful as possible and Odysseus "plan at least 500 contingencies and lie your way out of everything " approach. Eurylochus has always been a man of the ppl first and foremost, he's a warrior, it makes sense. He's not afraid to contradict Odysseus as his second in command. But deep down he's also a very ... anxious? person. and after Polites and a couple of their men died to Polyphemus he became more careful, more withdrawn, more terrified of the consequences. He started to "run away" more, he doesn't want to see Odysseus hurt, he trusts him but in Luck Rus Out its not that he lacks trust in him but hes filled with worry, what if something bad happens, what can he do if he loses him? He doesn't know what to do with himself if he loses his Captain, his Ody, "the brother I can never do without"

and Odysseus who became restless doesn't know how to respond to it. He wants to convince Eurylochus and the crew that his plans should always be followed and are free of flaws, he can keep them safe. Eurylochus whos being both pessimistic and realistic after their huge loss from the cyclops doesn't believe this entirely but at the end he also realizes the position he put Ody in so he shuts up and doesn't bring up his concerns again...

Until Circe!! start of the circe saga, Eury immediately goes to Odysseus *privately* to confess abt the wind bag but Odysseus was like nah Eury later. and thenn like the whole men into pigs happen and this is probably like one of the most stand out parts of Eurys character to me, again it emphasizes his "cowardice". He was too suspicious to go inside of Circe's palace, he stayed behind. He went back to Odysseus when things went south and suggest they leave the crew. Odysseus tells him that he wouldn't have left Eury, which fills Eury with both guilt and conflicting emotions.

He wanted to "cut their losses and run", so afraid of losing more against an unknown threat, that he fails to realize that Odysseus is a man of pride. Yeah, he probably would have went back for Eury. Eury would *definitely* have gone back for Odysseus, he just didnt think that a small amount of the crew was worth it especially after losing so many ships to Poseidon , literally more than half of their men gone.

AND THIS ASK IS GETTING RLLY LONG ALREADY but this is definitely whyy like hes so complex!!! he went to confess in Scylla that he opened the wind bag because he started to believe in Odysseus that he had it under control and that he wouldn't fault Eurylochus in the end, he started to worry less about the crew because he thought Odysseus would save each and every one of them, that none of them is expendable in his eyes. But then Odysseus betrayed that trust, didnt tell anyone abt Scylla, and even almost killed Eurylochus too by telling him to light up a torch. LIKE THATS CRAZY!!!

YES YOU UNDERSTAND. fundamentally eurylochus is a very anxious person, and what is interesting is that his misgivings about odysseus' commands come not from a place of defiance but genuine concern. that underlines most of his actions. from the beginning he's worried about the men, he's worried about odysseus. and that makes their relationship very compelling to me because it's clear there's as much care as there is distance between them. i think eurylochus trusted odysseus, but after the cyclops saga he began to doubt his captain's judgement.

in the circe saga, once again he's cautious, he doesn't go in the palace (which was for the best, in the end. if he was turned into a pig there'd be no one to tell odysseus about the situation) - and his argument with odysseus is very interesting as well. he's being very pragmatic by wanting to leave the scouts, though it's not exactly honourable, but you can tell a lot of it comes from worry again. he doesn't want to lose odysseus. he saw what circe can do. but i think a part of him internalized what odysseus said to him - because after the underworld saga there's a shift to his perspective

i think it marked the point where he began to trust odysseus' judgement again, that he began to believe odysseus did have their best interests in mind. and that's an interesting point you bring up, that it might something that motivates him to try to confess about the windbag again. all this just makes scylla way more tragic in my opinion. THAT IS CRAZY! the lead in from scylla to mutiny is incredibly heartbreaking to me. because at least in my view, eurylochus never wanted to be in that position. he didn't want to have to seize power. but for the sake of the crew he feels like it's his responsibility. and it leads them to their doom.
