YO. GENIUS IDEA. So like what if Polites was reincarnated as Antinous? I dunno, it sounds weird, but listen. He doesn’t know what he was in his “past life”. But Eurylochus (and everyone in the underworld) does, so they watch as their old friend does the one thing he swore not to. And when Antinous dies, I guess he goes back to Polites? I don’t know this works AT ALL. Polites: died early in the voyage, happy-go-lucky, an overall good person, the kindest guy you’ll meet Antinous: died when Odysseus got back from the war, tried to take advantage of Penelope and k!ll Telemachus, a terrible person with even worse morals. Enjoy!!
