Eurylochus asks Ulysses to kill him out of despair and frustration after witnessing the disastrous consequences of their encounter with Circe. He feels that their situation is hopeless, as many of their men have been transformed into animals and his pleas for caution have gone unheeded. Faced with the dire circumstances and the loss of his comrades, he believes death may be a preferable fate to further suffering and humiliation.
