chapter 11 is enormous, but he is right to call achilles out, that difference is strange indeed

Best epic, by a country mile, is the Mahabharat

A bunch of nothing an opinion. It’s like he’s pretending that Odysseus is never portrayed as the same or even equal to achilles in glory and war. That’s the fucking point 💀

the Odyssey is not an epic. It is the foundational novelesque.

Odyssey is the stages of life in relationship to the quest to life's quest. Illiad is more of a political less humanity ..... Gelgemash has all the stories of the Bible .... blood and guts war what is right based on who says what's right and wrong. Beowulf with the Odyssey a quest for the demons in the water ... personal human quest what's true in life is there not a god ... Gelgemash is in the beginning is there a god ....was written before the Bible was and the Others are more man's quest ...to find the meaning of life..... They are all apocryphal. Each one has a hero and a back up without him the hero has a foil is the back up friend. Some have the character themselves acting as the foil. Don Quixote is also a similar character seeking to right the world's wrong.. How to live a moral life.

In this video he has a point, even if almost all epics are lost now. In previous videos though.....

Glory hasn't been widely seen as a virtue since World War I showed us it is "the old lie."
