Homer's Odyssey....
Okay, what's the deal here? I just read Homer's Odyssey for a class, and his writing style seems pretty fucking basic. How can this be considered such an amazing piece of work? Every time Odysseus is in trouble, he meets a girl, sleeps with her, collects the gold from her dad, then walks out the door! Furthermore, whenever the story seems to drag on, or whenever he needs some kind of redirection of the storyline, he just uses some God to change the course of it.
what gives?
