Dear listeners, thank you for joining us on our voyage into Homer's Odyssey.
You're listening to the Lotus Eaters, a 12-part series on Homer's Odyssey that was funded by our generous supporters over at patreon.com.
It's because of that support that we're able to release this series for everyone.
If you'd like to join them in supporting us, please head over to patreon.com/slash very bad wizards.
One of the benefits will be that you'd get
access to all of the Lotus Eaters at once rather than having to wait every week for a new episode to drop, but you'd also get access to hundreds of hours of other bonus content and Zeus would smile down upon you for your generosity in supporting us.
So thank you for listening.
Let's get to the episode.
I love them.
I mean I've been enjoying reading every book, but this time I was sad to be finishing up the second book.
Like I was like, Oh, come on, like just a little more, make this one longer.
Yeah.
But yeah, I didn't know that the footstool was like the weapon of choice in the Bronze Age apparently.
Yeah, I mean the biggest thing for me is
the self-control and patience that has to be demonstrated by Odysseus and Telemachus, where, you know, they're formulating a plan and they're constantly being tested.
And they have to like r just like exert this what I imagine is a tremendous amount of will to not do the thing that they are really tempted to do.
And that just more broadly is like a sign of the mark of their character.
And like throughout this really feels like these scenes back at Odysseus's palace are it's like a big lab where you're testing out people's morality.
And some people pass, some people fail miserably.
Yeah.
