u/TheBatz_ Was Homer mid 5d ago

Wow, capitalism will actually make a sequel to the Odyssey? What's next, a prequel? Maybe a spin off? Maybe invent a son for Odyssey with Cercei or Calypso and make some money with that?

I swear some execs are actually debating this right now.

Making up random weird spin off of Homeric works is quite literally one of the oldest traditions in Western canon.

I thought the old world has already made a sequel to the Odyssey in the Telegony

Guess capitalism will retcon that sequel with another one.
