I remember being forced to watch the boring Armand Asante USA tv joint in high school and I think everyone in class was in agreement that this dude was a POS.


Reading the Odyssey and other works about him and it doesn’t touch the surface how big of a shyt head pos lucky son of a bytch he is.

1. Poseidon is pissed at the Greeks for one reason or another and won’t let the Greeks sail to Troy. Odysseus comes up with a plan to sacrifice Agamemnon King of the Greeks daughter to the Gods. Agamemnon being a scumbag himself is cool with it but he knows his wife and daughter won’t be. So Odysseus comes up with a trick and lying to the mother saying they are gonna marry her to Achilles. The daughter gets all dolled up and turns up expecting to marry Michael Jordan and catches a knife to the throat instead.

2. After Achilles is killed the Greeks debate over who should get the armor of Achilles. If Achilles was MJ, then Ajax was Lebron or Kobe. Clearly the second best Greek fighter in the world, and pretty much saved the Greeks from losing the war. This wasn’t any armor either but armor forged by Hephaestus and invulnerable to damage. So naturally you would assume the second best guy would get it. Instead Odysseus suggests a speech contest, a verbal battle about how great they and their deeds are. Obviously Ajax been averaging a quadruple double on immaculate efficiency and should get it right? One catch, Athena the God of trifling bytches comes down and sways the committee to give Odysseus the armor. Ajax kills himself in shame so the Greeks are essentially game 7 of the NBA finals without their best players.

3. The Greeks are about to give up and go home but Odysseus finally contributes to the war effort and comes up with the Trojan horse. Now we all know that story but what they don’t emphasize is how bytch made this was considered in ancient literature. The Greeks and Romans considers this a fak move. Even then the only reason the Trojans don’t burn the shyt is because the Gods come down and have a sea monster eat anyone that touches the horse :mjlol:

4. So the Greeks start sacking Troy. An ancient beautiful city burnt down and people killed or enslaved . Even the illiad and Odyssey make it clear this is a sad event. But Odysseus still has to show he is the goat scumbag. Remember Achilles? Yeah he had a 12 year old son that showed up in the Greek camp named Neoptolemus. The rest of the Greek generals don’t know what to do with him but GOAT scumbag does. He takes the boy into the city with him and knowing he had God strength like his daddy has him kill Priam the king of the Trojans, an 80 year feeble man who was cowering at the base of Apollos statue. He then has him kill Hector the prince of Troy’s 2 year old son and enslave his wife. Why doesn’t Odysseus do this himself? Because he knows that killing defenseless royal people and in the presence of a Gods effigy would likely piss off the Gods and he didn’t want that heat. He gave it to a 12 year old boy.


So you can pretty much see that everything Odysseus has accomplished is because the Gods put the battery in his back, but we not finished, the goat scumbag fukkery isn’t over. Wait for part 2

Yea Odysseus was def a high ranking scumbag but King David is prob in the top three. God also backed up his goofy shyt too.
Also the whole "scumbag gets away with it, because he's the chosen one" tales through out history has really affected the psych of the human collective and allows people like Trump to be loved and admired.

You’re right about everything EXCEPT that tv movie was piff to me as a kid. I LOVED mythology including Greek mythology so watching this with my father is a great childhood memory of mine.

I actually brought both this and the Jason & The Argonauts special on itunes just for nostalgia’s sake.


Carry on…

It seems that right up until Jesus all ancient people assumed gods were scumbags who didnt give a fukk about them.

Im sure theres a bunch of ancient religions that dont fit that mold but thats the general vibe I get

Part 2 of the Odysseus scumbag chronicles

So Troy is sacked. It’s inhabitants dead or enslaved. Should be a pretty good prize for the Greeks right? Nope. Troys value as a city was truly in its location being on the Turkish coast. A good city to have as a trading hub and ability to control the Aegean Sea. Now it was burnt to the ground. Ok, what about the fabled treasure? Was no where to be found. Sure they had some female slaves as most of the men were dead or fled and some small trinkets but to justify a 10 year war where most of their best fighting heroes were killed? Nope, and most of whoever was left of the Greeks ended up dead very soon, but we will get back to that.


1. So while most of the Greeks are slinking back to Greece much poorer than before. The Gods smile on Odysseus once again. Odysseus crew finds hidden Trojan buried treasure. So he should be good to go. Ithaca was a small kingdom and it should at least mean Odysseus and his men broke even. But nope, Odysseus being the GOAT scumbag decides to surprise sack a small city state on the way home. The Greeks kill all the men they find and enslave the women. While celebrating their victory on the beach the Ciconians who they attacked get reinforcements and attack the Greeks and kill 72 men and the great hero Odysseus and his men are forced to flee like bytches.

2. Odysseus lands on an island abd picks 12 of his best men off 12 ships of his fleet to go in and explore and find food. They come across a cave. However inside the cave it was clear someone was living there. There was a dairy farm, sheep pen and a throw rug that could fit an entire family. His men of course say “Cap let’s grab the sheep and whatever we can carry, and bounce before the owner comes back”. :hubie: It’s a cave of course and they could easily be trapped there. Odysseus the GOAT scumbag instead says “Nah let’s wait and see who owns this joint.” Keep in mind this is a world where monsters are known to exist and Odysseus wants to chill in a cave. So the owner comes back and it’s a 20 foot Cyclops who promptly moves a boulder over the entrance. Odysseus and his guys are trapped with a man eating monster who begins to eat them.:takedat:

3. Long story short Odysseus is able to come up with a trick to beat the cyclops. Odysseus gets the Cyclops drunk off a magic wine skin that he got off a prisoner he spared. His men then stabs the drunk cyclops in the eye and with another Trojan horse esq trick escape the cave. Odysseus couldn’t be happy with this of course. He turns around and tells the cyclops he’s “If anyone asks you who took your eye, it was I, Odysseus of Ithaca, conqueror of Troy, that guy, I am him!” :blessed: The cyclops being the literal son of Poseidon called down a curse on Odysseus and his men. Now you could say “how was he supposed to know the cyclops would call down a curse on him?” Well, while drunk the Cyclops had asked Odysseus name and he told him “nobody” because Odysseus knew you could curse someone with a name. Odysseus the GOAT dumbass forgot this because he couldn’t help stunting.:snoop: But it wasn’t the last time he couldn’t help stunting:mjgrin:



4. It was all bad to start off. Odysseus men actually stumble upon the great floating kingdom of Aeolus. Aeolus welcomed Odysseus and his men in and wined and dined them for a month. Aeolus even gave Odysseus a gift, a bag filled with all the wind of the Mediterranean except the west wind that will get Odysseus and his men home. Odysseus brings the bag on board, however he doesn’t tell his men what’s inside it. Of course given it’s a great kingdom it must be treasure right? Does Odysseus say “don’t touch the bag whatever you do?” No, the “Look at me, wanna be all up in the videos dancing” king doesn’t tell his men instead pretends to sail his ships home all by himself. Even though the ships are on cruise control, the GOAT clout demon stays up 9 days straight pretending to drive the lead ship and tells everyone else to just follow. Suddenly, they are within sight of their homeland. Odysseus after clowning and pretending for 9 straight days decides to take a nap. Once Odysseus falls asleep his men open the bag expected treasure and they are blown away back to where they started in the kingdom of Aeolus. Odysseus hat in hand goes back up to Aeolus palace door and knocks

“Hee..Hey Aeolus what’s up?” :to:


“Odysseus what are you doing here? Didn’t I send you home?” :skip:

“Umm *being a lying fak* my men they opened the wind, I told them not too, they deceived me, the teardrops scum. Umm, can you give me another?”

“Take your ass off my porch. The Gods want you dead. You are a scumbag and you are fukked” :demonic:

fukk it I’ll post the real quote

Begone from our island with speed, thou vilest of all that live. In no wise may I help or send upon his way that man who is hated of the blessed gods. Begone, for thou comest hither as one hated of the immortals. :ahh:

5. So Poseidon the God of the sea has cursed Odysseus and his crew. Suddenly there is no wind to sail on. The water has turned impossibly gray and calm. The Greeks are forced to row but without any heading or ability to tell where they are. They are left floundering and beginning to starve. Finally the spot an inlet and a beautiful bay within. Somewhere they could land and forage for food. However, the inlet was surrounded by huge cliffs, easy place for an ambush. The bay was serene but getting out would be a problem if they weee attacked. So what does brave Odysseus do? He sends his 11 of his ships into the bay while he hangs back. The king and captain of his fleet sends his men ahead because he’s scared. So, 3 of his men land on the bay and explore inland. They find what seems to be a tall teenage girl and ask her if she can provide or show them where to find food and shelter. She says yeah, my fathers palace is that way. He might receive you. So the 3 men walk up to the palace whose doors are for some reason gigantic. The door opens and a 20 foot tall woman appears smiling something like this

“Oh, who are you” says the giant woman. The Greek men shocked but starving and desperate beg for food and shelter.

The woman still smiling says “I’m just the woman of the house, we have to wait for my husband, he will receive you, we haven’t had men for dinner in a long time. Soon the 20 foot tall husband of the house came home and seeing the men laughed. His wife told him that the men wanted to stay for dinner. Once she said this the Giant man grabbed one of the Greeks and immediately ate him. The other Greeks fled in terror screaming “they are going to have us for dinner!”. The others Greeks thinking it was safe and wanting food started to row to shore. Suddenly dozens of Giant man eating monsters popped out of the rock crevices and cliffs and began destroying the ships and eating the Greeks. Any ship that tried to row out of the harbor was immediately stoned and destroyed. The giants began spear fishing the Greeks out of the water. Odysseus on the command ship, king of Ithaca watched his men being speared and eaten while he sat safely outside of the harbor. Our hero. :salute:
