 I just tried starting the Odyssey and it’s genuinely so boring Homer would not make it to the best sellers list today imo

Seeing as how it was performed vocally by bards centuries before it was ever written down, you might have a point there

I’m gonna be honest…I’ve read three different translations of the Odyssey. It’s very bloated at some points, which can be chalked up to it being original an oral story. But still, we give it way too much credit.
