Odysseus cried all day, everyday for SEVEN YEARS on calypsos island and people still have the AUDACITY to claim what calypso did wasn’t rape.

And don’t give me any bullshit about gender roles in Ancient Greece, I LITERALLY STUDIED WOMENS GENDER ROLES IN ANCIENT GREECE AND ROME IN UNIVERSITY!! Guess what? ITS STILL CONSIDERED RAPE!

At this point in the discussion, if you’re still defending calypsos actions, you simply do not care about victims of SA when it’s a man.

“He had no choice. He spent his nights with her

inside her hollow cave, not wanting her though

she still wanted him. By day he sat out on the

rocky beach, in

tears and grief, staring in heartbreak at the

fruitless sea”

^ how much clearer can Homer get?? Gtfo

life in death or something like that

(Telemachus crashing out in Book 2 of the odyssey)

“‘… you make me so unhappy! This is pointless!’

He stopped, frustrated, flung the scepter down,

And burst out crying.”

btw the scepter was previously referred to as a “talking stick”, he’s crying in front of ALL the suitors & Greek men he called to council, and he brought up two dogs with him while talking for reasons unspecified.

They were emotional support animals because I said so. Argos was not among them.

Me with the manwhore au:

*first introduction*- Oh that's funny.

*sees sexy fanart*- Oh...that's *cough* I'm just going to reblog that here.

*finds self scrolling through the tag on tumblr, looking up related smut on ao3 to read later, imagining a version I'd write*- ...wait

On the cusp of fall, meet me inside the wired gazebo and we’ll start a scrapbook for the different leaves we find

(Telemachus to Athena, who is disguised as a man)

“Dear guest, i will be frank with you. My mother

says that I am his son, but I cannot

be sure, since no one knows his own begetting.

I wish I were the son of someone lucky,

who could grow old at home with all his wealth.

Instead the most unlucky man alive

is said to be my father— since you ask.”

TELEMACHUS WHAT? “Since you ask” my ass. This is the first time he’s ever spoken to this man (Athena) and he is laying it all out on him (her).

I know that that’s because this is how the audience learns information but that doesn’t make Telemachus any less mopey. This man is so done with everything, he even tells Athena multiple times that he doesn’t believe Odysseus is alive anymore. BAHAHAH perf. No notes, diva 💅

If you don’t understand why Polyphemus (cyclops) was so mad at Odysseus for killing his sheep, just pretend the sheep was a dog and suddenly Polyphemus’s rampage makes more sense
