he has affairs with other women in non Homeric sources but it's pretty clear in the actual Odyssey his relationship with Circe and Calypso are not consensual

they weren't "fucking crazy style though" in the odyssey calypso is clearly a rapist and Odysseus does not want to be there he was their seven years as a prisoner basically
bailey@baileylikemovie
Nolan’s allergy to anything remotely sexual never bothered me but The Odyssey could’ve used a little something. Odysseus and Calypso were fucking crazy style on that beach for SEVEN YEARS and we see NOTHING like come on

as for him for sacrificing his daughter he didn't really have a choice as it was commanded by the gods saying he shouldn't have waged war doesn't make sense either because the war happened because Zeus wanted it to happen to reduce the population

and for Agamemnon there's like actual reasons to dislike Agamemnon I'm obviously not saying you have to like him but like most of those apply to like all the Achaeans so like I said he's not uniquely bad in that particular aspect
English
I don't get why people act like Agamemnon is uniquely bad in the Trojan war especially if you like someone like hector because he's actually very similar to hector imo in relation to his pride. I like hector a lot but like they're similar both having a lot of pride

like why does she choose that disguise and not the ones actually in the poem
English

I think it's reductive to say like helpols converted because of like the Hades games or pjo also literally how is it insane?
like I'm not helpol but why do you ppl basically view it as like a "fake religion for pjo fans" because to me that's basically what Ur saying & it's weird
uke creature🇵🇸🚩@UkeCreature
Hades also contributed to this to an extent. to be clear this is not a hate post i read those books when i was like 8-9, i played hades 1 and 2 and thoroughly enjoyed them. if they made you convert to a dead religion and say stuff like “goddess athena” unironically you’re insane

half my TL is filled with fire emblem fortune's weave content based. The other half is filled with the worst takes known to man on mythology the contrast is funny because they're not really related in the slightest lol
English
half the tweets on my TL are ppl complaining about the odyssey's colour and it's like to dark with it's colours I think that's always been issue with Nolan's work though because his batman films suck because they took all the colour and whimsy out of batman
English
like in Greek mythology medusa is born a Gorgon the story where she's cursed by Minerva is written by Ovid who was living under Augustus' Principate and a lot of the stories are a reflection of that especially with Augustus' whole act and Ovid was probs like anti authority
English
And I personally don't think as someone who's read a lot of these retellings they're a good jumping off point because a lot of them just fundamentally misunderstood the stories they're trying to tell or get details wrong ESPECIALLY with how many shitty medusa retellings there are
English
this might be a unpopular opinion but I don't get why you'd need retellings for greek mythology knowledge I'm dyslexic and like I don't think the Iliad or the odyssey are that hard to read. I think like Euripides plays are better than any retellings especially on the Trojan women
jennie’s wife@jentayIor
this is ragebait and everyone is responding accordingly but what if i said that madeline miller and rick riordan are actually solid jumping off points to build interest in mythology

tw rape
bringing this again but Homer litteraly said abt Odysseus on Calypso's island: "He spent his nights with her inside the hollow cave, thought he did not wanted her" and somehow ppl still deny he was getting raped by Calypso ???
