80- Odyssey: Don't Annoy Poseidon! (feat. the Jingle-Jangler)

Odysseus. The man we accused of being a failure all throughout the Iliad and the Posthomerica. But will we like him any better during his own spin-off show? Join us for an extra long episode hosted by Vince's sister the Jingle-Jangler- who has studied the Odyssey and can help us condense it. Will Vince get increasingly frustrated at the inconsistency of Greek omens? Will Cassie have to employ increasing levels of sarcasm against Odysseus' flaws? Will the hosts become enraged at Odysseus, misogyny in the Greek world and Greek mythology in general? Find out with us!NOTE: This episode is a bit of a longer one, so it has been split into three sections with musical interludes at 35:39 and 01:13:50 for those who need a break.Time period: 1192- 1182 BCERelevant individuals:Odysseus (Ulysses), King of IthacaTelemachus, Crown Prince of IthacaPenelope, Queen of IthacaMenelaus, King of SpartaHelen, Queen of SpartaPoseidon (Neptune), God of the SeaAthena (Minerva), Goddess of WisdomEumaus, pigherd of IthacaPolyphemus, CyclopsSources for this episode:Homer (1983), The Odyssey.
