from Cracked Spines · host Amelia Fisher and Sarah Palmer

We read The Odyssey! We actually did it!! And we only whined a little for weeks on end. Amelia lets her love of milfs fatally blind her to the will of the gods. Sarah overestimates how much Odysseus is naked and murdering people but maintains that just doing it once is enough to make it His Thing. Discussion points include: is this book good? Do we like Odysseus as a character and as a person? Is free will even a thing in this world of gods? And how can Sarah make all of this about her favorite poem from high school? Media Discussed:The Odyssey, by Homer, translated by Emily Wilson The Terror (tv show) Ulysses, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (read it here)The Song of Achilles, by Madeleine MillerCirce, by Madeleine Miller Support the show
