The scene where Odysseus and his crew first meet the cyclops in his cave was I scene I found interesting. Odysseus and his crew were laughing and enjoying themselves by a fire in a well stock cave when it got a bit darker and sheep bleated as they dashed into the cave.The thundering steps herald the Cyclops' arrival. The cyclops then proceeds to devour a crew member and drink unto sleep after inquiring of Odysseus' Name. Of which Odysseus responds. "I am Nobody."

It made me feel a little odd to watch the Cyclops eat the crewman much to the disgust and utter horror of his fellow men. It made me laugh when Odysseus refers to the wine as a 'secret of the world' as it is just fermented grapes. I felt a little awed at the first glimpse of the cyclops.

We all Die by Oliver Deriviere from the soundtrack of Obscure: The Aftermath. It was composed by Oliver Deriviere and performed by the Boston String Quartet from the Boston Symphony Orchestra with The Children's choir of the national Opera of Paris conducted by Gael Darchen. The track is an odd mix of Electro pop with a choir and a string quartet. There is no particular meaning but features lots of emotional instability in the song as an angelic choir sings with a light backing of the classical quartet and ripped through the center by a distorted guitar riff. The song as a whole portrays an unsuspecting victim with a lurking beast and the solitude of darkness.

A great leader

Is Odysseus a good leader? Sure why not. Compared to the rest of his forsaken crew, he actually extends his crew's lives. All would die if he hadn't been on the cyclop's island. Eaten alive by the monster. Or when they were turned into pigs, he saved what he could.No one is perfect. He might not be the best fighter but he can out think the others easily.
