people really have the audacity to claim odysseus isnt the most unlikable character in the entire odyssey?? when his whole personality is being a lying bitch?? yeah its funny sometimes but he still sucks

#odysseus: me: booo tomato tomato tomato #bro is annoying as fuck #and it annoys me so mcuh when people claim he cares for anyone other than himself #like its all during the flashback that HE NARRATES so ofc he's gonna make himself look good #then you get to the laetrygonians and there's just no way to excuse that #he says that he purposefully made the other ships enter the bay first which means he KNEW there was danger and made the conscious decision #to send his men before him so he could make a quick escape when things inevitably went wrong #because hes a murderous jackass #the murder isnt even the worst bit either #its the deception #but thats his whole thing isnt it #resourceful odysseus #king of lies #anyway stan elpenor and eurylochus and perimedes #aka the only named members of odysseus' crew BECAUSE HE DOESNT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANY OF THEM!!!!#classics #classical studies #homer's odyssey #the odyssey #odysseus
