My general attitude to "Homer is hard" is about the same as to "Shakespeare is classy" Sure, you have to get used to epithets and long similes, but the Odyssey is about cyclopses and witches slaughtering suitors. The Iliad is detailed descriptions of knocking eyes out of sockets

But the part of me that prefers a good story to rooting out the truth will always like the idea of Lancelot as a Gaelic clan chief, ally of Arthur, tasked to invade and occupy part of the territory of the wild and bloody Picts

@Treeo_of_one Japan definitely is the closest analogy, thought it has its own quirks. But does any dnd setting have something that plays the role Buddhism did in premodern Japan?
