K I feel like I need to explain what I mean by the “epic ody different than regular Ody” video. 😂 I don’t know all this lore like calypso using magic to keep Odysseus with her, all I know is what I read in the odyssey (which I don’t remember her using magic).
I wasn’t specifically referring to Circe either, she was just an example of all the very different stuff that happened with Odysseus compared to epic. But Ody was NOT a victim to Circe, the gods told him he had to, to save his men. Which isn’t his fault. What I DIDNT like was how he seems completely fine with it, he’s basically just like “ok.” 😭 And with calypso, the vibes I got from the book was their relationship was pretty mutual… yeah he obviously didn’t want to at first but something must’ve been fine with him eventually bc in the book theres a line that says he really wants to leave since calypso “no longer pleased him”, he didn’t want to be with her anymore. Idk, that’s what I got from it.
To me his entire personality is just so much less honorable than in Epic. No hate to ppl defending him, I’m not trying to say he’s some awful character, I’m just noting some differences between the two. I know I’m not qualified as a Greek scholar, but I did read the book so can I mean I at least know a bit. 🥲😂
