This video wildly misunderstands the point of the poem and to focus on it on a feministic point of view relegates it to a purely surface level understanding and only allows us the study the culture of, circa, 800 BCE Greece (rather than 1200 BCE Greece) from a surface level and one which, baked into the Hegelian dialectical idea of looking backwards and shaming, forbids us to sympathise with those fellow of our race.
John Greene's word on the Odyssey means as much as my own on the nature of God, no one should listen to this man.
Read Rieu's summary instead (either the junior or senior)
