been listening to the audiobook of The Odyssey (Emily Wilson's translation, which is actually incredibly readable to an extent that surprised me. but also im a little freak man so maybe take that with a grain of salt) and it's so fascinating how alien this whole society feels. i mean, obviously The Odyssey isnt like. a documentary lol. but just as an indicator of what would have been seen as reasonable, normal behavior, it's fascinating. men cry a LOT in this

#anime life #and are incredibly forthcoming about their emotions (regarding other men)#i don't even mean that in a “haha gay” way but like #people weeping when they talk about Odysseus #one of them. i forget who bc there's a lot of characters in this. either nestor or menelaus #talking about how they would have given Odysseus a room in their home and they would have lived together for the rest of their days #if he wanted #you just don't see that level of unashamed sincere emotion these days!!!!
