Natalie Wynn (Contrapoints) mentioned The Odyssey by Homer 2 times

Revenge is such a popular plot line because it's easy for people to identify with a revenge-seeking protagonist. And it's just the easiest way to hype people up about spectacles of violence. This technique was used in one of the first books ever, "The Odyssey" by Homer. I stole this copy from my high school and I stole this copy from my college. I still just read the SparkNotes. Well, let's read it now. See, I knew this would be useful someday.

At the end of "The Odyssey", the families and the suitors Odysseus killed band together and plot to get revenge by killing Odysseus. And literally the last thing that happens in the Odyssey is that the goddess Athena, who has an inexplicable lady boner for Odysseus, steps in and saves him by just making the families forget that Odysseus killed their children.
