#odyssey by homer

Anticleia calling Odysseus "Odysseus, my sunshine" in Book Eleven of Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey makes me cry.

Telemachus's life post-Odyssey has the potential to be so funny bc bro is suddenly going from the son of, essentially, a single mom to the son of two VERY in-love middle aged sweethearts who never had to learn boundaries about what is/isn't appropriate to say around their kid.

Penelope: I knew that "beggar" was you the whole time, you know.

Odysseus, laughing: Oh, really?

Penelope: You can disguise a lot of things, but I'd know that ass anywhere.

Telemachus: I am begging you guys to keep it in your pants for ONE family dinner.

“CAPTAIN??”

“guys please stop spamming captain”

“yall where is the stream??”

“Captain?”

“CAPTAIN”

“where is it??? I cant find it”

“happy ithaca saga everyone 🥳”

“GUYS PLEASE STOP SPAMMING CAPTAIN”

“Someone get the mods a medal”

“Guys wheres the stream”

“WHERE IS HE?? WHERE IS HE???”

“KEEP YOUR CHATS CALM HE’S AIMING FOR CONFUSION”

“its 4 am in ithaca calm down”

“CAPTAIN?”

Since im not very normal when it comes to designing im always more efficient when i design straight up on an illustration so here goes the main suitors :

Antinous (lion🦁) : loud arrogant and imposing. Will laugh at your face and threaten you in cold blood.

Eurymachus (snake🐍): hypocrite manipulative conniving bitch. Will gaslight you with a kind smile. Hates mediocrity

Amphinomous (bear🐻) : he's the answer to choosing a man or a bear. Not inherently evil. He thinks the beggar is funny (not knowing its ody). He is just a guy who's easily influenced by his terrible friends.

As chosen by my tbr jar, the next book I'm going to read is The Odyssey by Homer (Translated by Emily Wilson).

I have heard several things about this translation specifically but, is it good?
