And in return may the gods grant you your heart’s desire; may they give you a husband and a home, and the harmony that is so much to be desired, since there is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends, as they themselves know better than anyone.
[Σοὶ δὲ θεοὶ τόσα δοῖεν, ὅσα φρεσὶ σῇσι μενοινᾷς,
ἄνδρα τε καὶ οἶκον, καὶ ὁμοφροσύνην ὀπάσειαν
ἐσθλήν· οὐ μὲν γὰρ τοῦ γε κρεῖσσον καὶ ἄρειον,
ἢ ὅθ’ ὁμοφρονέοντε νοήμασιν οἶκον ἔχητον
ἀνὴρ ἠδὲ γυνή· πόλλ’ ἄλγεα δυσμενέεσσι,
χάρματα δ’ εὐμενέτῃσι· μάλιστα δέ τ’ ἔκλυον αὐτοί.]Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author

Bought Homer’s Odyssey (cheaply) in Germany in 2019 on a GIMP meetup. Maybe it’s a good time to post some scans :-) The bookseller turned quite hostile when i mentioned the Web, said the Web was putting him out of business.

So, in addition to demonizing #Matriarchal societies, #Homer took a stab at the survivors of the #BronzeAgeCollapse on #Crete by turning them into the #Cyclops! Not a surprise! I noticed that #Odysseus eyed the "Cyclops Island" as prime #RealEstate (like a typical #Colonist!). Of course the so-called "civilized" #AncientGreeks had to demonize peoples who had lived under female rulers or NO RULERS!
Were the Odyssey’s #Cyclopes Actually #Minoans?
By Caleb Howells, January 6, 2026
Excerpt: "Drawing on his experience sailing a replica of an Ancient Greek galley, Severin estimated that Odysseus would have reached the coast of Libya, specifically near the site that later became the Greek colony of Cyrene. This was the Land of the Lotus Eaters. From there, Odysseus resumed his journey back to Ithaca, logically sailing north toward Southern Greece. Along this route, he would likely have arrived at the southwestern corner of #Crete, where the peninsula of #Paleochora was once separated from the main island, forming a small offshore island.
"This scenario closely matches the Odyssey’s description of Odysseus arriving at a small island situated just beside the island where the Cyclopes lived.
How the Cyclopes match the Minoans of Crete
"Severin’s argument that Crete was the island of the Cyclopes is highly compelling. But how do the Minoans fit into this theory? Regarding the Minoan city of Kommos in southern Crete, Severin noted its abandonment in the Late Bronze Age and asked:
" 'What had happened to the survivors of Kommos and the other Minoan settlements along this coast? Could they have fallen back to the barest subsistence level, living in caves and practicing the sort of simple pastoral farming that Ulysses found among the Cyclopes?'
"In essence, Severin suggested that the Cyclopes of the Odyssey may have been Minoans who, after the collapse of their magnificent #BronzeAge civilization, returned to a #simpler, more primitive way of life. While Severin did not explore this idea in depth, a closer examination reveals there is substantial evidence for this."

#IntuitiveMachines was finally able to get some good pictures of the #Odysseus #moon lander's touchdown and its current off-kilter configuration in the lunar south polar region. And it will try recontacting the spacecraft after the long lunar night. It's a long shot - but why not try? https://cosmiclog.com/2024/02/28/odysseus-will-nap-after-sending-moon-landing-snapshots/ #Space #NASA #IM1

🌑 [Blog] Premières images d' #Odysseus #IM1 avant la conférence de presse de ce soir

The last accurate altitude reading the lander received came when it was 15 kilometers above the lunar surface - and still more than 12 minutes from touchdown. By comparing imagery data frame by frame, the flight computer could determine how fast it was moving relative to the #lunar 🌙 surface. #Odysseus was coming down three times faster and with a lateral speed of 2 meters per second https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/02/it-turns-out-that-odysseus-landed-on-the-moon-without-any-altimetry-data/

Communications 📶 with #Odysseus remain limited and will end when sunlight ☀️ is no longer shining on the #SolarPanels. Its #antennas 📡 are not pointed back at #Earth, greatly slowing the rate that data can be sent back https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/26/science/odysseus-moon-lander-photos.html
