I will never understand how Odysseus has all the braincells while also having none of them at the same exact time. He is an amazing war general and is insanely smart but has the attention span of a rat fuelled by the need to cause chaos simply because he is bored. He can't listen to one thing while getting distracted by the thing he was specifically told not to touch.

"To the goddess I call, of memes she sings
Make light of the epics, those ancient things
Give cause to jeer Atreus' son
Within the tags, of his name make a pun"
