    honestly I read this translation of the odyssey and it was dogshit, not because of the translation, but because the actual story sucks ass. literally all the cool shit you’ve heard about (sailing, cyclops, sirens, titans, scylla) is given in a single chapter, in recollection, by drunk odysseus. The rest of it is just about telemachus fucking around and odysseus playing undercover boss.

      Yeah but what about when Odysseus gets to have hot sex with two really smokin’ goddess babes for a decade. Or when he kills everybody who wants to fuck his wife and then fucks his wife Good. Did you ever consider that. Odysseus. He fucks.
