Summary
Mortal and god faced each other, one standing above the other. A mockery of the status quo. Blasphemous. Poetic.
“Call off the storm.” He did not beg. He did not demand either. He simply told the Sea to obey.
The Sea would not.
______________________________
Odysseus defeated Poseidon right before reaching home, but seeing him broken and bloody, the mortal cannot make himself simply leave the god. It felt too much like the battlefield at Troy. Hoping for a sliver of humanity still inside of him for when he finally greeted his family again, Odysseus decided to tend to Poseidon before leaving. He never expected a second encounter with the God of the Sea.
