not everything is about Greek mythology, but also what if it kinda is…
Odysseus as the hero in battle against Poseidon in an endless dance of the near eastern storm god battling the sea god motif 😍
Odysseus’ voyage across the ocean, crossing a body of water=crossing into the underworld/netherworld 😍
Odysseus literally visiting the underworld, the storm-god-hero dying or traveling to the underworld and RETURNS, defeating death itself 😍
In the Baal cycle, Baal’s sister Anat- virgin goddess of warfare is his primary ally, sounds a bit like Athena and Odysseus!! 😍
#something something Rama/Odysseus/Danel’s bow#00#the odyssey#ANYWAYS… it’s mythology hours at work#I want to say Crete/Mycenean Poseidon was also theorized to be more of an underworld deity too#I THINK#there’s also the witch woman/queen helper motif I want to look more into#me: definitely remembers Anat being titled Virgin#also me: remembering how spicy the ending of the Baal cycle gets between Baal and Anat 🤔🧮🔢💱
