    Read Receipts, Episode 13: Telemachus is a little crybaby bitch


    In the comeback episode of Read Receipts, hosts Reese and Jeffrey discuss their impressions of the first two chapters of Homer's 'The Odyssey,' translated by Robert Fagles. They explore themes such as the influence of Greek gods on mortal lives, character development, and differing perceptions between ancient and modern entertainment. The hosts also reflect on their preconceived notions about the book, the complexities of the characters like Telemachus, and the significance of oral storytelling in ancient times. The discussion touches on potential film adaptations, the timeless nature of personal struggles, and a humorous take on ancient adventures compared to modern experiences.
