Satirical prints of Lord Byron drawn by artists Robert and George Cruikshank. They depict Byron philandering with women around the time of his and Lady Byron’s scandalous separation in 1816.

That summer (around the time these would have been drawn), Byron rented the Swiss villa where Mary Shelley started writing Frankenstein. She, her partner Percy, and her step-sister Claire, had all followed Byron from England so that Claire could continue her recent affair with Byron. The third drawing shows Byron in the famous Drury Lane Theatre where he was a committee member, which is where Claire first went to meet him and initiate their relationship.

I’m honestly living for the debate going on on Twitter rn that you ought to have at least heard of the Odyssey at some point in your life (like, not even read it or necessarily know the contents, just be aware of one of the foundational texts of human literature on par with things like the Bible, Journey to the west or the story of Troy) and how defensive some people are of their ignorance of it or that they didn’t know about it because knowing the Odyssey is supposedly “American-centric”. Truly the lowest bar experience to justified feelings of smug intellectual superiority like a cosy blanket.
