Ma puoi criticare Omero morto 2800 anni fa mentre lavori per Nolan che quando scrive i personaggi femminili prende letteralmente la carta velina e le inserisce nella trama esclusivamente in funzione dell’uomo protagonista
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?
