We're going on a journey home, or at the very least a journey through the classics. This week we take a look at Homers Odyssey the ancient Greek epic poem. This is your cheat sheet so that you can claim to know all about The Odyssey before the Christopher Nolan film comes out, you get sound super smart and well cool and not cringe because you know all about this story. This also does count as a translation of the Odyssey so it very official, we said so. Odysseus travels back to his wife Penelope with the help of Athena and Travis Scott, something like that? With Matt Damon and Spiderman? All I'm saying is that if he'd have just sent a text letting her know he was on his way back a lot of this could have been avoided. Anyways get yourself to Argos, get yourself a nice glass of wine and a Greek salad with plenty of Feta Cheese and Olives and enjoy our translation of the Odyssey! ⛰️🌋🗻🏔️⚡Have you heard of the ancient Greek god... Linkius... The god of clicking links... you better do it or he will get his mate Zeus to smite you ⚡⛰️🌋🗻🏔️
