The problem starts with Emily Wilson, the woman who translated The Odyssey. She describes Odysseus as a "soldier with a traumatic past" and a "colonial invader". Something that is nowhere, absolutely NOWHERE, stated in Homer's epic!
Also, she calls Odysseus a "migrant," which is completely false. Homer portrays him as an exile, not as a migrant.
Wilson's translation is biased and anti-Greek

Η πραγματική δήλωση για την επέτειο της τουρκικής εισβολής δεν γράφεται σε ανακοινώσεις.
Γράφεται με μόνιμη μεταστάθμευση 🇬🇷 μαχητικών και συνεχή παρουσία πολεμικών πλοίων στην Κύπρο.
Israel reaffirms its unwavering support for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus and stands in solidarity with Cyprus, on the anniversary of the 1974 Turkish invasion.
The ongoing Turkish military presence in the north of the island, alongside Ankara's persistent attempts to alter the status quo through unilateral actions, is unacceptable.
As a strategic partner and neighbor of Cyprus, Israel calls for the resumption of negotiations toward a just, viable, and lasting solution to the conflict.
"I don't have any interest in bashing Greece specifically"
Sure, in just 3 days you have tweeted & retweeted more than 30 posts about Greece, among them one claiming that "Greece needs a Bastile Day sooner than later".
No interest in bashing Greece.
Just pure love🫶 🤡
Why has @robin_j_brooks of the @BrookingsInst gone berserk against Greece? Why does Robin Brooks turn a blind eye to the undeniable fact that Turkey is one of Russia's biggest buyers of fossil fuels?
Why does it favour Turkish interests? Why does the Brookings Institution push for Turkey as an energy hub using Russian gas as a foundational element?
The Brookings Institution hosts "The Turkey Project", which produces policy recommendations regarding U.S.-Turkish relations.
