You really notice how different the ancient Greek concepts of honour and hospitality were when a complete stranger comes up to Telemachus and says:
"I killed a man. They're coming for me. Please take me with you."
And Telemachus is just like: "Okay."

Me literally an hour ago: I'm just not in my human era rn
Me, 5 mins after: suddenly intense desire to draw my second favourite Bob
A gift for @clownnoiseur and @beefycupcakes as they're the reason I actually made this second blog to post my (non Bob's Burgers) fanarts!
And a big thank you to @emerald-dream for inspiring this piece!! Your bobposting directly influenced me to make this🥳

Just got my copy of the Iliad and I will probably pause everything to read this first... but, also the edition is so different from my copy of the Odyssey hahah I still want the Emily ones when they aren't as expensive.

03.04.2023. Currently reading Homer's Odyssey translated by Robert Fagles.
So far reading Books I-III, Fagles' translation is smooth, immersive, and fairly easy to read. But the jarring insertion of modern jargon, like "scot-free" "potluck" "played fast and lose" etc., interspersed throughout takes some getting used to. But I'm not really sure if any other translation does a better job of it and since this is the only edition available to me right now I'm just going to continue on with it.
