Eurylochos was the only one who really stood out in his cruelty. The other ones at the least gave Odysseus food when he was disguised as a beggar even if they depleted his resources.

Yeah, I thought about it again and they all had faults especially after they attempted to ambush and murder Telemachus which I forgot about when I made that post. I still feel like Eurrylochos was the mastermind and without him the other sheep wouldn’t be nearly as abhorrent as they were.

They conspired to murder his son. The incarnation of justice herself tells him to kill them all.

Yes, see my other post. I think they are all at fault but still most of them are more like idiotic sheep who just do what the honcho says.

The poems and plays of Ancient Greece were written in meter so you can sing them like songs. Good translations should attempt to catch this in their poetic meter.
A bit off topic but a fun fact is that Benjamin Rogers translation of the plays of Aristophanes are done to the tune of I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General aria from Gilbert and Sullivan.
Quite often the translators choose their own meter instead of sticking to the Greek which becomes awkward in a different language trying to get words to fit each line.

What BPM do you guys use when you read and write? When I write poetry it's usually 80-85. I haven't read using a metronome, but might give it a go when I read The Divine Comedy

Wtf is reading with a metronome, if you don't understand a sentence and you keep reading you're just going to keep compounding your misunderstanding until it feels like you're reading ingredients on a shampoo bottle

seems pretty natural for it to keep going even if your comprehension isn't keeping pace

Homer wasn't a writer in a traditional sense. He was a bard. He would recite it likely with a lyre and use the insturment to measure his metre,
