Ask the Beasts, and They Will Tell You

The fandomization of Odysseus into a guy who never cheated on his wife is really stupid an insidious cause A) he banged Circe and Calypso for literal years and B) its almost like this is a mythological interpretation of how Greek men at war would take women as "war wives" and their actual wives were expected to just accept this as their naturally earned "glories". and once the men get home everyone conveniently pretended like it didn't happen, until a baby popped out which the man would at the very least usually fully accept as his child but typically continue to pretend like his babymomma didn't exist.

AND ITS LIKELY HOMER WAS ACTUALLY CALLING OUT THIS PRACTICE. Pride, domination, who has the "right" to a woman and the idea of where glory rests its head are core themes in the Illiad! The entire trigger for this war was over who had the right and power to claim a woman! Regardless of what Helen personally felt! Helen may have gone with PAris willingly! A thousand ships launched for what!? A man claiming to just want to return home lounging for 7 years on an island with a fucking mistress! The same mistake again! The war never ends, the Greeks and Trojans will be here forever.

If you wondered, the sound effects say, top to bottom, “shuk shuk shuk”, “shu shuk”, and “shu shu shu shuk”.

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was found by accident during the Apollo program when NASA learned what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.
