I interpeted “feelings” as “explicit emotional introspection”. There’s a little of this in the Oddysey, but the first book I can think of that clearly does this is Don Quixote.
It’s absolutely absurd to interpret the article as saying writers didn’t acknowledge emotion.

- drb91 8y agoNote I said “a little”, not “little”. You can quibble about the amount but I was trying to explicitly say that the Oddysey IS an example of this in ancient lit. Still nothing compared to Macbeth or Hamlet, though.
