        In 9th grade, I wrote a report on Homer and how he was not a tragic hero. He was a philanderer. My English teacher (white male) gave me a “F.” That’s how you learn to “go along & get along.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

        I swore the whole point of the illiad was to setup the fact that the War changed Achilles and that he was no longer a good man. His illiad was literally him trying to become better before he reached his wife. Now this guy thinks he can match a great classic. LOL

        Are you thinking of Odysseus, who takes 10 years to get home to his wife Penelope? In The Odyssey?

        Zoe Satchel’s new expose uncovers rampant sexism behind the scenes at ‘Medieval Times’ before she uncovers FUTURE sexism at a Martian colony.
