i have greek and latin exams today and ALL I can think about is how odysseus was Young when he left for the war
#like we're so used to 30s or 40s odysseus#but he was young!#and Penelope and Telemachus#my brain is. not having it.#not that 30s or 40s isn't young but like there's a big jump from early 20s to early 30s
