@@StarryxNight5 I agree , it's a tad weird. Don't get me wrong , it is a really fun nod that I love to see when they use greek mythology...but the sole reason Odysseus spent 10 years to get back was due to him shouting his actual name to Polyphemus after blinding him.

@@HelloThere-cz9tione of the voice lines that Poseidon can say is that he tricked Polyphemus into thinking they were related, Polyphemus also acknowledges this as a start of fight voice line. But it doesn’t seem to go deeper than that

Everything about his design screams scoundrel that got away with it by the skin of his teeth. Supergiant are fantastic devs but their art department is truly a master of the craft.
I love that, they gave him that schemer look, while still managing to make him look proud and heroic. And that makes sense, since things like deception and planning were considered very heroic traits in Greek culture.
My favorite part is after you defeat Polyphemus a couple of times, odysseus has a new dialogue where he really tries to restrain himself but can't help calling polyphemus the worst and saying that if he could, he would blind him again
In at least one telling, yes, but in at least one other, that’s impossible (since Polyphemus supposedly tells other cyclopes what had happened, and specifically uses the ‘Nobody’ name, thus making himself look the fool).
There's a reference to that in a later dialogue from Polyphemus. He knows Odysseus by his true name but refuses to use it, saying that he knows him by another name and Odysseus will always be a Nobody to him
Similar reason to why it hit for me as well. I used to have an audiobook of the Odyssey, and I listened to it over and over when I was a kid, has a special place in my heart.
@@swyte read it for Dutch... As for some reason it was one of the books that was allowed to be read. (As it could not be a translated version... dutch author and all that fun stuff.) But somehow Odyssey just fell through that crack... Maybe because of the source material. (And I am glad it did... Because Dutch literature is boring... Just old man complaining and remembering what it was like in Indonesia.)
If we are staning for Epic here, Poseidon killed 544. The other 14 were killed by Poly. Jorge said that Polites took two strikes to kill, then every strike after is another man falling. The 558 killed (so far) was in total.
I think its curious that those tattoos on his chest and the... goggle? look exactly like a Nazar. (those eyes with a dark blue sclera, a bright blue iris with a white ring around it and a tiny black pupil.)
That caught my eye too! No pun intended. My best guess is that it's supposed to be a visual connection to nemesis. Her keepsake is the evil eye and Nazar amulets are supposed to protect from that. Perhaps he's trying to protect from further retribution (he did kill a lot of people, including some of Ody's folks, and lose his eye over it) or he can more retribution for whats been done to him. It's definitely an interesting design choice!
No, the Knuckle Bones are Odysseus's Keepsake you get for giving him nectar. You can then carry them with you where they reduce the max health on boss enemies, although you can only carry one such keepsake.
No, you're thinking of Argus, the one hundred eyed giant that served Hera. On her command, Argus was ordered to keep a nymph named Io tied to a tree, as said nymph was banging Zeus. Zeus later had Hermes kill Argus and rescue Io, and Hera had Argus' eyes preserved in a peacocks tail to immortalize him.
I was wondering how long I could go without getting spoiled on an unfinished game. This is dipping a toe in the water, but eventually I'm gonna get domed by info. I hate early access
I love that they kept the ‘Nobody’ thing. That’s a hilarious detail
I like how multiple different mediums keep the Nobody Detail. Rick Rodian did the same in the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series.
@@dysmicq3117 Yeah that part was hilarious in Sea of Monsters. Hope they keep that joke for the show

Odysseus looks absolutely perfect in this game, you can TELL that's a man who's coming up with schemes.

It's kinda odd he calls him Nobody, didn't Odysseus tell him his real name in the end - thus damning Odysseus to being cursed by Poseidon?
I think he's using the old name sarcastically?

Correct me if I'm wrong but is he the cyclops that Hera felt bad for cause he lost his eyes, so in tribute she gave his eyes to the peacock?
