“I've never read the feminist version of The Odyssey, but I imagine it goes something like this:

"Odysseus was a man. A complicated man. (Did I mention he was a prick and a fucker with a revolting rapist penis too? Well, he was and he did have one.)

Odysseus was at the apex of an oppressive Greek patriarchy, perhaps the OG patriarchy. He had "men" under his command. I suppose you're wondering what these "men" were like? (Hint: see above.)

(N.B. If I have accidentally written anything remotely complimentary or positive about men, please contact my publisher and I will retract it in future editions.)

Being toxically masculine, Odysseus abandoned his wife Penelope and their son and disappeared for twenty years for island hook-ups with nymphs and to commit ableist, homicidal thuggery against one-eyed, cave-dwelling primitives. Meanwhile, Penelope, the real hero of this epic — afflicted by her internalised misogyny — defended the oppressive marriage through the menial, degrading task of weaving, while resisting the 108 potential rapists who had moved into his home and wanted her sexually non-stop.”
