I wanted to remind @Lupita_Nyongo that women play a central, multifaceted, and often pivotal role in the Odyssey. They embody themes of loyalty, temptation, wisdom, power and domestic stability.
They are not mere background figures. They actively shape the plot, test the hero, and highlight contrasts between fidelity and betrayal.
Penelope is the embodiment of fidelity
Athena the Divine Patron and Mentor
Nausicaa represents hospitality
Euryclea represents steadfast service
Calypso and Circe are symbol of temptation, seduction and aid
These female characters often exercise power indirectly—through cunning, hospitality, or divine intervention—rather than open force.
No need for a feminist translation, it's enough to read the original poem.

@khnh80044 for comparison I wonder how many Amber Heard visited, wild guess: zero.

For years, Johnny Depp has visited children's hospitals dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow, surprising seriously ill kids and bringing smiles to their faces.
A true legend, both on and off the screen. ❤️
And Stephen Graham seems like a genuinely wonderful person as well.

Meet Siobhán Kirchstein, a man pretending to be a woman and a drag queen who works as a custodian at @UnivOfKansas.
He was just REPORTED for invading the women's restroom after the university started enforcing a new Kansas law requiring sex-segregated facilities.
Kirchstein says he has "No intention of complying" with the law and will continue invading the women's room.
Under the Kansas law, violations will result in fines and an eventual misdemeanor charge.
Any comment @UnivOfKansas?

Dude claims the only good Saturn game is Panzer Dragoon. I brought up Metal Slug, X-Men vs SF, Shining Force, House of the Dead, Guardian Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, Sega Rally, Die Hard Arcade, Dragon Force... he won't accept 'em. Sounds like he doesn't like video games to me. 🤷♂️
