the most unrealistic part of the iliad & odyssey is actually every single time they talk about a hecatomb of cattle like its nothing. 100 cows? in this collapsing late bronze age economy? Where Are You Getting These. Who’s Your Cow Dealer. Can I Have Their Address

I think this is the most criminally underrated detail in the Odyssey 😆:

so he spoke and the gray flashing-eyed goddess Athena, smiled and she smacked him with her hand; and in a smooth and swift motion she changed her form to a tall and beautiful woman and of deep knowledge to good crafts and she addressed him using winged words;

(Translation by me)

Like...she smacked him. SHE SMACKED HIM! 🤣🤣🤣 (χειρί τέ μιν κατέρεξε) after freaking smiling or smirking (μείδησεν)

Like seriously Athena has no chill! Hahaha I love her! She is such a playful goddess!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah everyone remembers how Athena grabbed Achilles by the hair in the Iliad which was hilarious enough but why for goodness sakes don't I see animatics or comics with her literally going like:

when Odysseus finished his fake story thinking she is just a mere mortal?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
