The violence in what are regularly referred to as the oldest works of literature, The Illiad and The Odyssey, could not be depicted as written on broadcast TV in the United States (at least in the translations I read in the 1980s) and we allow a lot of violence on TV in the USA.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoTo be fair, as written, you'd get a graphic view of every internal organ a spear thrust pierced. It's not actually possible to depict that visually, as the skin gets in the way.
