Dicks out for Penelope
done. but now I’m getting weird looks at work and have an HR meeting in half an hr. I’ll show them this though, I’m sure it will be fine.
The only thing more scary than a raging, screaming, armed, violent Greek hero is that same hero butt naked and ready for action
When you read the Odyssey with the view that Penelope knows who Odysseus is from the moment she sees him, even in his disguise, the last parts of the poem take on a whole new dimension.
And the “mark no man has hit” was the (outside) of Eurymakhos’s throat, if I recall. Which he hit.
I don’t think people really understand how often everyone used to be naked. Greeks were naked like all the time.
@njm1314@lemmy.world …babies are naked, too, you prefer the company of naked babies?..
Some old playwright wanted to see actor dick!
If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing naked.
Having clothes on in battle just gets your wounds infected.
Eh he could have had a thong on
Doubtful. The Greeks celebrated nudity as a tribute to the gods. The Olympics were conducted nude. He is naked for a reason in this story. Its why the statues of these heroes are almost universally depicted in the nude.
That was just to ensure a fair competition. You never know when someone is wearing performance enhancing clothing spun from golden fleece, or otherwise blessed from gods. It was the anti-doping movement of its time.
I was joking anyway. But yeah I knew about the olympics not so much celebrating nudity
I mean, it makes sense to celebrate athleticism by showing off the athletes’ bodies. But yeah, a lot of the Greek myths have people either in the nude or just barely clothed. To be fair, in the Greek summer it makes sense to run around lightly clothed.
If he’s naked them then his quiver must be his butt then yeah?
