WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, ODYSSEUS.

I do appreciate how Claire North explores the concepts of toxic masculinity and trauma in Odysseus’s absolute shenanigans without excusing of them. It’s not a hit piece on Odysseus and Telemachus, but it sure is a critical eyeballing.

When I get my hands on you, Odysseus.

Penelope's “oh, for fuck’s SAKE” reaction to Odysseus coming home is such a balm after hearing that simpering Epic shit.

I am not well.
