My notes for Homer is; Maybe workshop this? Odysseus is an unlikable character who failed at every turn, loss 600 men and came back home as a hero after slauthering his wife's orbiters and his "unfaithful" slaves. Athena, find yourself a better hero girl.
Its worth reading if you're into classical studies and ancient Greece, but if someone told you that "every man NEEDS to read Odysseus" I'd just say, skip it?

Graphic: Death, Rape, Sexism, Sexual violence, Slavery, Violence, Grief, and Murder
This whole book is about the use of violence against wit and 500+ people die so there's a lot of death.
