biggest pet peeve is when people refuse to acknowledge/don’t understand that the greek epics were written in a completely different era of cultural and societal norms 😭😭😭
#like okay!!!! we get it. we understand NOW that all the stuff that was acceptable back then is and was horrible#some ppl can never get past that and then go waterdown the myth and spread misinformation#ancient greece was horrible to women. it reflected in their myths#they kept bride prizes. didn’t have a real difference between ‘kidnapping�� and marriage#yes sparta had women who were allowed more freedom than other places#BUT THEY WERE AN INSANE MILITARY SOCIETY????#men stayed in barracks to train like their whole life. so women kind of were left to do the rest???#but they also had the biggest slave population so they practically did no labour#they were more afraid of an uprising than any other invading enemy 😭#i get having ur own interpretation esp based on more modern adaptations#but wanting to erase all this to justify liking the epics is so stupid#it all boils back down to the anti vs pr0ship internet debate#god im so tired LMFAO#ik i say pr0shits dni but if u legit ask me if im anti or pr0ship#i would just say man im an adult living in the real world#i have a brain#and can think for myself#i just would rather attract antis to my blog than pr0shits bc i find them very annoying#we get it you’re ‘problematic’ oml#this became way off topic but oh well
