In Homer, the Phaeacians are explicit: 52 young oarsmen are picked to crew the magic ship that carries Odysseus across to Ithaca. They row through the night. They lift him sleeping onto the black sand of his home beach, lay the gifts around him, and turn for home. On the way back, in sight of their own harbor, Poseidon turns the ship to stone in punishment. The 52 die in the petrification, or they are simply fixed in the rock as a warning. The retelling cuts them as individuals. The crossing happens offscreen between chapter 50 and 52, and the magic ship and its punishment are referenced as concepts rather than as a crew with faces. A craft choice: the focus belongs to Odysseus waking on the beach not knowing where he is, not to a crew of strangers whose deaths would land without weight because we never met them.
