William Collins’s Reviews > The Odyssey translated by Robert Fagles > Status Update

I am liking this so far, but Odysseus is the worst!He’s a complete fraud. To start with nearly every “clever” thing he has done is really Athena’s doing. Secondly his entire cursed journey home was entirely avoidable, no reason to go to polyphemus’s cave getting his men killed, then his unnecessary taunts got him cursed. He has a huge ego and hasn’t taken accountability once. I hope he never gets home.
