Do you have any article related to the odyssey you'd reccommend as complementary to the source?
sorry i've been sitting on your ask for so long! i am not and never have been a classics student; i came across most of these articles incidentally or here on tumblr:
"the odysseys within the odyssey" by italo calvino
"a note on memory and reciprocity in homer's odyssey" by anita nikkanen
"penelope and the poetics of remembering" by melissa mueller
"a glossary of haunting" by eve tuck and c. ree (this is mostly about horror fiction and settler-colonialism but it has a gloss on the cyclops that i think everyone, certainly everyone american, should read)
silence in the land of logos by silvia montiglio chapter 8: "silence, ruse, and endurance: odysseus and beyond"
"the name of odysseus" by g.e. dimock, jr.
also ok it's very much not "good" but there's an article by w.b. stanford called "personal relationships" that just lists all his hot takes about the relationships in the odyssey for 25 pages. it reads just like scrolling the blog of a mutual twice removed. they let men publish ANYTHING in the 60s. i love this essay. i would read this essay out loud over discord right now if someone asked me.
