Perimedes was a loyal soldier in the Greek Army and a member of Odysseus’ crew from Ithaca. Though quiet in much of the story, his presence is felt during key turning points in the musical. In the scene "Mutiny," Perimedes is one of the crewmates who turns against Odysseus, stabbing him in a desperate act of rebellion. His betrayal reflects the crew’s growing disillusionment with their captain as Odysseus becomes more ruthless in his quest to return home. Despite his actions, Perimedes ultimately shares the fate of his fellow soldiers—sacrificed by Odysseus to Zeus during “Thunder Bringer.” His character, while not deeply explored in dialogue, plays a crucial role in illustrating the tragic unraveling of trust and unity among the crew.
