Melinoe is the goddess of nightmares. Perhaps that's why defeating Poly knocks him out.

[@victorianeechan]

I don't know if polite is the word, but his dialogue is very idk witty? Smooth? He has this retired mobster kinda tone, like he isn't personally offended but still has to do what he's gotta do. I think his character is super interesting

[@electricrush2233]

Ay how’s life been?

[@juanjosemendivil1626]

I have to remind myself that Odysseus called himself "Nobody" because the Cyclops told his father, Poseidon, that "Nobody" took his eye.

[@ShursGarden]

It was the other cyclopes, not Poseidon. He told Poseidon after Odysseus told him his real name.

[@sillyme7484]

Odysseus fooled the cyclops to tell the others that nobody hurt him by saying that his name was “nobody”. So proud of himself he was that he taunted the cyclops with his actual name allowing the cyclops to pray to his father Poseidon for revenge. This but Odysseus in the butt.

[@azazel166]

Since nobody blinded you, what are you yelling for?

Didn't Odysseus tell his name to him once he escaped the cyclops?

(Spoiler Alert) Odysseus stabbed his Eye out with a stake that was lit on fire . In Hades 2 Polyphemus comes from Odyssey a ancient Greek poem that Homer wrote.

[@crash-testproductions9341]

Yes ? That's the case, that's his legend. A guy named Nobody staked his eye when he was drunk.

[@esteban8471]

Polyphemus: You frightened my sheep. My favorite sheep.

[@squibbles_]

I read in a translation of Odyssey that Polyphemus was likely a caricature of Sicilians, as he comes from a far off land where they raise livestock instead of farm crops (and a pretty racist one at that given the brutishness 💀) And assuming the devs knew that, that makes the Italian mobster additude a really cool touch

[@noahjohnson935]

Funny thing, Polyphemus is Melinoe's cousin. Uncle Poseidon's boy.

[@maciejokoniewski8243]

Not here. One of dialogue here confirms that Poseidon's played a prank on Polyphemus, tricking him into thinking he was his son.

Call me a baby, but honestly that 'everybody slips up once in a while' line at 2:12 was a lil scary. Sure, it's probably just a 'haha look how dumb he is' but like, is he wrong? Greek gods HAVE been eaten canonically... and Imagining melinoe being killed and eaten by this guy was ghastly.

[@Yasha_U]

yeah that line unsettles me a lot first time hearing it like how every speedrunners, professional athletes, high profile lawyers will slip up once in a while so does our beloved little melinoe. and one mistake could end her. once is not really 'hard' to come by when you're doing runs after runs after runs.

[@great_hedgehog8199]

@@Yasha_U Well, Melinoë's "return to shadow" is essentially an instinct at this point, being the first thing Hecate taught her and the most practiced one, chances are. So a slip-up of that variety seems extremely unlikely, if possible at all

[@silvertheelf]

He’s not dumb, he’s just hangry and hasn’t got good sleep for a while. As he shows when he said “it’s called a double standard”, he knows what’s up, he’s voluntarily being “dumb” cause he’s so big and intimidating he doesn’t need to pretend he’s smarter than he needs to be.
