#like by ~modern standrards (what are those) they all did like 17 heinous things before breakfast

coming in hot but i don’t give a shit about whether characters in epic or whatever were good people. like honestly i also think it’s kind of a dead end to argue about the morality of real people from the ancient world but i especially do not care about like odysseus or achilles or whoever being “bad”. what an absolute waste of time.
#it's moral relativism i suppose but what's the point really. even for the ones that were real#like by ~modern standrards (what are those) they all did like 17 heinous things before breakfast#but surely at some point you have to realise repeatedly pointing this out is getting you nowhere#it just becomes a kind of thought-terminating cliche you know?#like okay. they were doing terrible things. so why does this text think those things are good#i am eliding mythological characters into real people who did real world harms here i know (v ancient historian coded of me)#and there is a difference obviously between people who were not real#and people who were and did real harm in the world but still
