Who do you blame for what happened in Epic? For all the deaths? Plus small mythology lesson for those who want to read
Side one: "I blame Odysseus!"
Side two: "I blame Eurylochus!"
The ones who think they're thinking outside the box/side three: "I blame the birds!"
Side four/those who blame someone else/me: "I blame Aphordite!"
Explanation: Aphordite started the Trojan war. She, Athena, and Hera were competing for a golden apple inscribed with the words "for the fairest." The Trojan prince Paris had it. Aphordite bribed Paris to give it to her instead of the other gods by promising to give him the most beautiful mortal woman alive as his wife, Helen of Sparta /who is, fun fact, Penelope's cousin/. That prompted king Menelaus to start the war.
The Oath of Tyndareus is why all of the Greek kings had to go fight, including Odysseus. Before Helan married, she had dozens of suitors, very powerful men. Her stepfather, King Tyndareus of Sparta, feared choosing just one would cause a civil war. Odysseus, to prevent this, came up with a solution. Before the winner was announced, every man had to swear a sacred oath to defend the husband /Menelaus/ and fight any man who took Helen away.
King Tyndareus also after that helped Odysseus secure marriage with Penelope for his clever thinking.
So yes, Aphordite is the cause of everything in Epic. But what side are yall on?
