On a tangent, I do like how the phrase "holy moly" is a direct allusion to the Odyssey.
In the story Odysseus is not behaving in disdainful way to gods at all. He is not disrespectful, he is not treating gods as unworthy. It quite the opposite the whole time.
There is one god that is angry with him trying to kill him (cause Odysseus killed his son without knowing it is gods son) and one that keeps him trapped on island cause she likes his presence. Odysseus never express disdain toward her through nor toward gods in general.
But not every prisoner is slave. The slaves are present in the books.
Slaves are also killed by Odysseus himself if they had sex with suitors, no regard is made to whether sex was voluntary and odysseus himself claims that sex was rape before (but he just guesses that).
It is not like that story took much regards with regards of rape.
I know the blinding and taunting of the cyclops was when he pissed off Poseidon. But I seem to recall that other gods were mad at him too.
Edit: killing Helios cattle was also a bad move.
Odysseus had the favor of Athena though, and I don't think he ever lost it.
Odysseus did not killed Helios cattle, he told his men not to do so. His men did killed them after they disobeyed Odysseus.
Athena argues that Odysseus did sacrificed a lot more then usual towards gods at one point.
I dont know what Odysseus claimed after he beat Troy, sorry.
Early epics are noted for their flawed characters. Gilgamesh's bloodlust, Odysseus's disdain of the gods. Iccarus's hubris. King Authurs infidelity.
We better remember characters who were flawed. 'Perfection' is strangely boring.
