I caught this post rather late. I read the Odyssey when I was in the 4th grade much to the derision of our school Librarian.

One of the things that I noticed is that Old Big Ears actually loved his wife as opposed to most Greeks of that ERA who thought that most women were Bat Sh&t Crazy.

Remember most wives in Hellenic times lived on the second floor while men slept on the first.

The men stayed up late, drinking mingled wine and water, and staring at the wall (because TV hadn’t been invented). Drove their wives crazy.
