Great Works I: Remixing Memory

I’m looking at the passage in book 12 lines 349-378, when Eurylochus convinces the crew to go after the Sun God’s cattle. I had a few questions when reading this passage. Some of the questions were, why did Eurylochus disobey Odysseus when he has been right basically the while voyage, why did Eurylochus go after Helios’ cattle knowing they are Helios’ cattle and that a God would be unhappy about his cattle being slaughtered and why does Odysseus have so bad luck on his voyage?
Right before this passage Odysseus says these are the Sun God’s cattle and he sees and hears everything and if they harm his herd the price will be paid (Homer, book 12 lines 345-48). A few lines later when Odysseus isn’t paying attention Eurylochus convinces everybody to go after the cattle anyway. Eurylochus must have a problem with Odysseus’s leadership because when Odysseus was given the bag of winds from the God, the crew thought it was gold and silver and distrusted Odysseus to share the wealth with them. As a crew they ripped open the bag and brought them far from home which they were near to. When they were blown far from their course Eurylochus should have seen that Odysseus isn’t lying to the crew. When Odysseus said don’t go after the cattle, Eurylochus should have believed him when Odysseus said leave the cattle alone.
Even if Eurylochus didn’t believe Odysseus, before attacking the cattle he should have thought about how the God will be upset with those who slaughtered his cattle. This entire trip has been having setback after setback for upsetting various different Gods. Eurylochus is showing more examples that he believes that he is better than the rest of the crew. He is making decisions without considering the possible repercussions and getting the crew into trouble.
This whole voyage for Odysseus has been one of just horrible luck. He battles multiple storms, fights cyclopes, a whirlpool, six headed monster, sails by an island of sirens and upsets almost every God there is. He continues to fight through hardships over and over that are mostly caused by his crew and not him. He is just suffering through other peoples mistakes. The Great Odysseus cannot seem to catch a break.
