Screaming into the void with this post because nobody who needs to hear this has an account on Tumblr.com but:
knowing about the Odyssey isn't fucking classist. Fucking Obviously????????
I am so tired of seeing people online pretending it's some dense, impenetrable text when the entire reason it's been so popular for thousands of years was because it was the OPPOSITE OF DENSE. Anybody could read it!! Storytelling and myths and legends and folktales are for EVERYBODY!!!!
Stop projecting your own fear of reading onto your massively skewed perception of poor people. Most of the people calling it classist aren't even poor!!!! Stop that!! Pick up a book! Watch the Spongbebob Movie! Listen to EPIC: the Musical! Watch the George Clooney movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou"!Read the Mary Pope Osborne translation or a graphic novel or Percy Jackson or something good lord.
