** disclaimer: Hi Homer or any Homeric descendants, I know you put a lot of thought into this book. Sometimes we work really hard on things that just don't turn out that great. Your Odyssey is an example of that. Brush it off king, you really did try your best.**
Look, I know The Odyssey has been around for a while. However, I think we need a bit of a societal reminder than ancientness does not always equate excellence. Twinkies are old, they're not good. Blue eyeshadow is old, it's not cute. AOL is old, you look like an idiot if you still use it.
To be fully transparent, The Odyssey was one of the worst books I have ever read. I think I would rather sit down and watch Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox interviews than read this ever again.
Listening to an arrogant man's internal monologue for 500+ pages is physically painful. He couldn’t go a day without telling some random girl on the street how great he was. Odysseus wasn’t even a god, but went around acting like Zeus on steroids. He truly thought he was as strong as Dwayne Johnson, attractive as young Leornado DiCaprio, and as smart as Albert Einstein.
My self-confidence needs what this man is on.
Not to mention, his own wife hated him. In The Penelopiad, she explains how he was the ugly dweeb who no one thought stood a chance. Anyways, that's my freshman insight for the day. I dislike you, Odysseus, for the pain you put me through whilst writing essays about your stupid stupid fantasies and your stupid stupid internal turmoil. You even blinded a cyclops. So, so, unbelievably uncool. Next time you want to brag about the wooden horse you thought up, tweet about it. Don't force someone named Homer to write down your every thought. Cope, my guy, for the sake of the world around you.
