Odysseus will say “I spoke with crafty words” then just straight up lie
bring back homeric epithets. call people brave-hearted, swift-footed, laughter loving and loud thundering. view the world with its rosy fingered and saffron robed dawns, its wine dark seas. make your own, walk across kiln fired earth and moss soft as sea sponges. be dew-eyed and soft-cheeked and silver-souled, deft-fingered and bright-tongued. gaze up at the many-storied stars and feel the warmth of the ancient sun, father of gods and men, as it beats down on the shimmering world, soft spun like caterpillar silk
Nothing can make me happy:
3,000-year-old epic exists
The Iliad and the Odyssey will fix my life <3
Bonus:
Odysseus about Panelope
Apollo Why does he look like that
LOOK AT HIM So silly....
