we have a lecture every week by a *famous artist* that we’re required to go to for credit and everyone hates it because it’s 5:30-7 on Thursday nights (like bro I have shit to do lol!) and also it’s usually such a fucking drag. I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I was actually captivated by one of the presentations. the lady who introduces each speaker is so fucking irritating and is always saying shit like “you guys. NEED. to see this exhibition at the MoMA 😫 if you haven’t… you need to see it. NOW 😮💨” and it’s like lady. shut the fuck up. First of all we literally live in the fucking Midwest. Second of all, between u and me, only one of us gets paid $1,000,000/hr to just stand around and be annoying, and it’s not me. Are u gonna fly me out there 🤨🤨🤨 hm????? 🤨🤨🤨 Next time she tells us we need to go to the moma or the fuckin tate modern I’m yelling “how?” from the crowd. idgaf anymore #senioritis

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.
In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.
(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)
Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.
(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)
I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.
