Rereading The Oddysey, it is not as funny as I remembered, but I have a good sense of homer.

There’s a new translation out by Emily Watson. Thought I might read it this weekend. Are you reading this one?
That one looks good! But no I am on the Robert Fagles version. Will check out the Emily Wilson one!
Spoiler alert: Homer never left waters of Ithaca. He got lost day one just outside the sight of land, just like Penelope said he would. Embarrassed and defeated he spent a week making up a salacious and entertaining story just so he wouldn’t have to admit he was lost.
😂 My type of fella!
