Dear WW: It is one of my failings that I can over-react to
absurdities in a story, and let them spoil the story for me.
The Greeks were the world's worst male chauvinists, and I just can't imagine them caring enough about any woman to fight twenty years about it. And it is proposterous to say that Odysseus took so long to get home. And the idea of sacrificing a daughter just to get a favorable wind.
