I Was About To Question Exactly The Same Thing In The Messages You Sent Me Hahahaha Yup It Just Doesn't

I was about to question exactly the same thing in the messages you sent me hahahaha yup it just doesn't add up! Odysseus and his men can be cunning in their own way, but come on they are still human! The fact that they escape in the original was already a crazy feat, and here he makes the sirens beg them for mercy?? What the hell is this joke haha

Yeah, when in reality if you follow the actually original logic of the story, if Odysseus faced Sirens head on screaming stuff like "I'm a monster" they would laugh and eat his head XD This is not even drunk Caleb level of stupid hahaha Yeah somehow I already don't have a good feeling about that part lol

Maybe I'm giving them too much credit hahaha but damn that's the only thing that makes sense in my head with that "let them drown" phrase! Otherwise yeah it's just stupid XD Yes the creatures who outsmarted and killed thousands of sailors, who didn't even need to get close to them to do it, who made the original Odysseus and his men decide they would be better off passing past them as quickly as possible than face them! And now they are suddenly helpless useless little girls lool

Epic the Musical:

Sirens: We shall sing right in front of your face and make idiotic mistakes so you will know what it is! Because we are obviously fake

Odysseus: I shall test you back because you make idiotic mistakes and I am fucking Odysseus of Ithaca who just sang a dramatic song before.

Them: We caught them captain! Because they were right in front of our faces now what?

Odysseus: Oh we have free time and we are not damaged enough so sure let us continue from that dramatic "monster" concept because we also have time to save other sailors (and we are sure we caught them all apparently?). Cut their tails and let them drown in the sea! (Because I am a monster rawr rawr!)

The Odyssey:

Sirens: We sing alluringly calling you to us giving you exact details on who you are and where you come from because we know your soul. Abandon your ship and come to us

Odysseus: *gets brainfucked and drugged and begs like a madman to be released from his binds (but still intelligent as fuck since his brain is still alert and he is fully conscious throughout the process)*

Eurylochus: Oh shit he is too strong the damn ropes are not holding! *signs to Perimedes to bring more ropes and tie the motherfucker harder*

Them: Oh we have no time to stop...row for your lives to get the hell out of here!

Sirens: out of sight through the whole process probably sitting at the highest of rocks since they are fucking birds

Odysseus: *the incantation wears off* Oh shit that was a wild ride! Thank gods it's over and I received the knowledge I was looking for... Okay guys you can untie me now...
