Summary
Polites, a gentle pacifist and skilled medic who always greeted the world with open arms, was the closest and dearest friend to Odysseus and would give his all to help any soul in need. He believed in peace rather than war and was an expert at mending the most serious of wounds and sickness.
Having spent most of his life suppressing feelings for a strong, beautiful, loyal King that was his best friend, he never confesses these feelings as to not interfere in Odysseus’ marriage but after 10 years at war, Polites fears he may never get chance. That comes true once they reach the cave of the Cyclops.
Polites’ untimely death sends Odysseus and the rest of his crew downhill unbeknownst to him, he has problems of his own when he wakes up after death with some of his unfortunate comrades.
The Gods like to throw dice now and then.
