Tim Bray recently complained of Homer's heroes that

"My problem with most of Homer's characters is that they're vicious,
self-important, thin-skinned, and dishonest."

I think I have met some of these people strolling the streets of my on fair

Prefer Tony Soprano to some of them myself.

So maybe Homer got it right after all.

Strong moral vision...like Dante and Pound.

Not sure about the trousers however.
