OK. So Helen’s beauty sparks a war.
Athena is a strategic goddess guiding Odysseus.
Penelope embodies clever loyalty.
Circe turns men into pigs, which frankly is still the most realistic female character arc in literature.
Calypso traps the hero on an island for seven years.
Cassandra can literally see the future but nobody listens, making her the first woman in recorded history to experience a meeting.
The Sirens weaponize music.
Nausicaa saves Odysseus when he washes up naked and useless.
Andromache gives one of the most devastating anti-war speeches in the Iliad.
Hecuba is basically the emotional wreckage of empire in human form.
Aphrodite starts half the problems in Western civilization by being hot and petty.
Hera is running divine opposition research.
Thetis gets Zeus involved because Achilles is having a workplace dispute.
But apart from Helen, Athena, Penelope, Circe, Calypso, Cassandra, the Sirens, Nausicaa, Andromache, Hecuba, Aphrodite, Hera, and Thetis...
WHAT HAS HOMER EVER DONE TO GIVE FEMALE CHARACTERS ATTENTION?
So Lupita is upset by the “misrepresentation” of African culture BUT has no problem blatantly doing it to Greek culture.. this woman is an absolute fucking hypocrite & has no businesses in The Odyssey
BREAKING: Islamist councillors in West Sydney mocked a motion for Greek Independence Day last week, denying the existence of historic Ottoman Empire atrocities against Greek Christians.
One Islamist councillor stood up and denied the existence of the Jizya tax under the Ottomans, calling it ''uncorrect'' information that was ''offensive'' to the multicultural ''harmony'' of West Sydney.
The Jizya tax was essentially a tax that the Ottoman Empire forced on non-Muslims as second class citizens.
Greek Christians were forced to pay this tax as a special penalty for not being Muslim. It was designed to try force people to convert.
The Canterbury-Bankstown council covers Lakemba and Bankstown, the areas where the Bondi shooter Navid Akram was radicalized. It's been subject to mass demographic and cultural change over recent decades.
The suburb of Earlwood in this council area has one of the highest concentrations of Greeks anywhere in the world outside of Greece.
Up to 25% of the population is Greek Australian, which is why independent councillor Barbara Coorey (an Australian of Lebanese Maronite Christian heritage) moved this motion and spoke about Ottoman atrocities.
Now the Greek Australians in the area live under Islamist councillors who mock the atrocities that their ancestors went through while living under the rule of a foreign caliphate.
And the hypocrisy is just unreal. The Canterbury Bankstown council fly the Palestine flag over their council chambers and constantly speak about Gaza and genocide.
Yet these Islamist councillors mock Ottoman genocide against the Greeks, Armenians and other Christian minorities.
Can you feel the diversity and multicultural harmony?
