Eurymachus blamed the behavior of the suitors on Antinous, as he portrayed him as the main instigator of their misdeeds against Odysseus. Eurymachus tried to shift the blame away from himself and the other suitors by placing it primarily on Antinous.
Eurymachus blames Antinous.
Eurymachus blames Antinous.
Odysseus blames his crewmen
cause he is a weirner head
Odysseus inwardly blamed his crewmen for not heeding his warnings to leave Ismarus before the Cicones returned.
The blame for incurring Poseidon's wrath primarily lies with Odysseus due to his hubris and poor decision-making. His prideful actions, such as blinding Poseidon's son, Polyphemus, directly provoke the god's anger. While the crew is complicit in their actions, Odysseus, as their leader, bears the ultimate responsibility for their fate. Thus, his leadership failures contribute significantly to the misfortunes they face.
Apollo killed the Cyclopes.
Eurymachus admits that the suitors were wrong but tries to blame all of the suitors' evils on Antinous, the worst of them. He also offers to have the suitors repay Odysseus for all of the food and damages, and also pay a fine of 20 oxen, while paying him silver and gold until he forgives them. Eurymachus is not successful.
Well, first of all, Eurymachus participated in the consumption of Odysseus' food and drink. He tried to steal his wifey and schemed to murder his son, Telemachus. He was the second worst of all the suitors, Antinous being the first. After Odysseus had killed Antinous, then Eurymachus tried to blame everything on him. He told him that they could pay Odysseus back for the food and drink consumption. Basically, he was lying and dishonoring Odysseus, which was a big no-no to ancient Grecians. So, Odysseus shot him bulls-eye in the nipple with an arrow. He was the 2nd to die. Haha, stinks for him.:)
Eurymachus tries to shift the blame onto Antinous, claiming he was the mastermind behind the suitors' behavior. He begs for mercy and offers to compensate Odysseus for their wrongdoings. Eurymachus also tries to make amends by promising to repay all the wealth they have consumed during their time at Odysseus' house.
All he did was play the 'blame game' against Jewish people.
In the case of the mishap with the Cicones, Odysseus and his men are to blame for not leaving Ismarus in time, as they became complacent after their victory and failed to heed the warnings of the impending reinforcements. For incurring Helios's wrath, the blame falls on Odysseus's crew, who disobeyed his orders by consuming the sacred cattle of the sun god, leading to severe consequences for them all. Ultimately, these actions highlight the themes of hubris and the importance of respecting divine authority in "The Odyssey."
