who ever said Odysseus was a hero? the first few likes of the Odyssey calls him a complicated man
or whatever "andre polytropon" translates as. never a hero
The biggest lie taught in Western literature is that Odysseus was a hero.
Imagine being a gentle giant who just wants to live off the grid, raise your sheep, and make artisanal cheese. Then an unemployed Greek veteran breaks into your cave, refuses to leave under the guise of ancient religious hospitality (Xenia), eats all your goat cheese, gets you blacked out on stolen wine, gouges your only eyeball out with a burning log, and steals your livestock.
In any modern jurisdiction, Polyphemus exercised Castle Doctrine on an armed home invader, but because Odysseus controlled the narrative, we spent 2,800 years calling it an epic poem

i could probably optimize this a lot but the question didn't ask and i am lazy.
For today's coding challenge, you'll get a matrix of single letters (kinda like in a crossword puzzle, but without any blank spaces) and a word to find. You'll need to return the start and end indices of that word. Check it out on the freeCodeCamp mobile app.

this week i have been playing with filter programming in c by building a caesar's cipher algorithm.
i write at least 100 lines of C every week by hand just to fight the atrophy. trying to build a digital pet that lives in my terminal in c.

one day, when it all falls down, I will be king of the world.
