In "The Odyssey" (2026), Odysseus speaks with a Boston accent, despite being from Ithaca, which is in New York.

@CSMFHT @romanhelmetguy The point is to accurately represent it to an audience who can't read it in the original.

I’ve successfully shifted the discourse about Emily Wilson’s translation on here by academics from “It’s great” to “Ok so she takes a ton of liberties and makes many questionable choices and I don’t personally like it, but translation is hard, and I really hate RHG.” Progress.

'Ok guys, I'm coming off a bit closeted here, better mention ancient Greek statues so no one will think I'm gay' 😂😂

@UbermenschMind Men are naturally more attractive than women on average, that's why women need makeup This isn't me being gay, it's science Look at a peacock or a cardinal, male vs female, females get mogged Greek statues dedicated to the peak aesthetic form? Overwhelmingly men

You’re really missing out if you haven’t watched “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”
It’s the best TV show I’ve ever seen. Literally #1. DS9 is unequaled. If you only take one TV recommendation from me, make it that one.

Ithe first five minutes of the Odyssey are just Telemachus telling the suitors and the audience he's not his father, he's his own man

Achilles is not pure fiction.
Iliad was based on a real war, and wars are usually led by great commanders, warriors or kings. There is a high chance that Achilles was based on one of those heroes.
Our PhD expert forgets that we are the ones without 99% of ancient sources.

Absolutely incredible to learn that there's apparently a whole bunch of folks on here who object to the notion that Achilles - son of Thetis the sea nymph, herself daughter of the sea god Nereus - is a fictional character. Please no one tell them about the tooth fairy.

@CSMFHT If you have a real argument to prove me wrong then give one. Dont just point out a handle which was available. You are arguing like a leftist.

@CSMFHT @aralittleV @mersomas @lexcroucher You do understand that while we type letters into LLMs and it outputs letters, it gets tokenized so what the system actually sees is something like this
[4438, 1690, 261, 885, 304, 1561, 89107, 30]
“Zealand” is one chip numbered 89107. It can’t see the letters at all

@aralittleV @CSMFHT @mersomas @lexcroucher I don’t even understand what or why you guys are concerned are you just like extrapolating “if it this specific application of AI can’t count letters in words” then it won’t be able to be successful in other domains/tasks? What’s the problem?
