This guy was so bad at sailing, it's astounding.

    I mean, he was a victim of the wrath of Poseidon, not that much you can do about that when at sea.

    Which sort of paints Poseidon as incompetent. You'd imagine that the God of the sea would be able to reliably kill people at sea.

    Sounds intentional to have Odysseus suffer and long for home, instead of killing him off quickly. The gods want to be entertained as well.

    Seems to be decent at the sailing part. Navigation doesn't seem to be even a minor part of his bailiwick
