@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social They probably don't know (especially because that's not in the Iliad), and also "just because of accuracy" is pretty clearly a thin cover for transphobia

@yakmacker@society.kalli.st @TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social Of course. Actors are actors, they're not actually the people they play.

@yakmacker@society.kalli.st @TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social If we're going to be *literal* about this, he's technically a ghost in the Odyssey anyway. I'm not sure that chromosomes persist in the underworld, although that may be because chromosomes hadn't been invented yet. In my experience, most attempts to co-opt classical material for modern fascism haven't read the Iliad either.
