and that's why we have a version of Odysseus that doesn't cheat on Penelope or suitors that are not as considerate as they can be seen as in the Odyssey for example

it's important to recognize that retellings of Homer or whatever don't refer necessarily to the writings of Homer but to the chain of reception that came from Homer to the western world of the 21st century

"only the greeks understand better the context within the mythology and should retell it" I would love to live in a world like this champ but there is this neat thing called "Western Canon" that validates stuff like imperialism and colonialism so we're way past that
