"Odysseus never once cheated on his wife!" wrong "Odysseus spent 10 years slutting it up around the Mediterranean sleeping around with every women he met" also wrong. can we move on now

#We can debate how consensual his relationships with Circe and Calypso were #We can also point out the implications of his 'prize' in the Iliad and the women of Ismarus in the Odyssey #We could also probably talk about Archaic Greek gender norms and relationship expectations #AND what assumptions Archaic Greek people were making about Late Bronze Age gender norms and relationship expectations #Plus the roles of both royalty and slavery and the difference between 'fair' slavery/captivity and 'unfair' slavery/captivity #however. apparently Odysseus Cheating Discourse never ends #The Odyssey
