The First Time Is Cool And All But The 25th Is Awful - Tumblr Posts

The amount of comments i have seen, one of those has popped up in a YouTube comment, ughh...

I made a post a little ago, i'll try to post it:https://www.tumblr.com/aaronofithaca05/747186767823831041/circe-s-case?source=share

Yes people think that Odysseus was a rampant cheater who only wanted to be "laid" or the other route: what a whimp, he couldn't be laid, his nightmare is my dream, stupid.....Also comments as poor Penelope, waiting while his pig of a husband is having the time of his life or whatever.

I think if we made him a her and they masculine, we wouldn't have this conversation. It's really sad in my opinion that in the eyes of some people your gender decides if you can are allowed to be pitied. Like that is so gross.

Odysseus was a s.a víctim (though Homer never wrote him like that, it wasn't his intention). The pourpose of his journey was to get home, to Penelope, to Telemachus, to Ithaca.

i know i'm years late to the party but are you telling me that kids today think odysseus is a misogynistic creep because madeleine miller turned the protagonists of a 4,000 year old piece of classic literature into r*pists? when nearly every instance of odysseus being with a woman on his travels was basically straight-up coercion or because he was ordered to do so by a god? when his wife was so in love with him that she waited for him for two decades? when he broke down in tears upon hearing her voice again?
