"Every arrogant monologue that comes out of Odysseus’s mouth makes me want to roll my eyes, like “Dude, get over yourself already” 🙄
And the characters who pander to him and praise him only serve to further stroke his insufferable ego. Penelope and Telemachus, you both deserve better.
Emily Wilson, on the other hand, is brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed her in-depth introduction and translator’s brief." — Aug 24, 2026 07:59PM

"Ugh, I really want to like this because I work in gastrointestinal endoscopy so I obviously love the subject matter. But so far it just feels like she keeps dropping supposedly sensational bits for the shock factor and then commenting on how weird she is for being interested in this stuff. Eye roll. I’ll try to get through it. Maybe it will get better. It’s also possible that her writing style is just not for me." — May 28, 2026 07:15PM

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
