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
