There is only one ocean, really. Water circulates across the entire world, even as it circulates within the basins.

We separate it to make it easier for us to talk about, which is what humans do with a lot of things. That’s how labels work, making it easier to share concepts, but the concepts themselves are unchanged by the labels.

The ocean does not care how we label it, be it one or many

tbh i don't really get why we divide the oceans into different oceans because they're all connected it's the same ocean

#computers may have binaries and clear yes/no but nothing in the real world works like that #nothing #even the 'clearest' lines are vague gradients once examined #and most 'lines' go in so many other directions that we only have half enough words to capture the concept #but we can say I am 'here' and I am 'not there'#you'd think continents would be easier but saying where the land ends and ocean begins is also forever changing #one ocean

People who see pics of like those fucked up deep sea fish and creatures and go "omg I'm never going swimming in the ocean again 😰😰😰" calm down. They're 5000 feet below where you are and also i went down there and none of them even knew you. Leave them alone bitch

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.
