Your Old Humanities Paper Appears in Epstein Files
After a new batch of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation was released on Sunday, people around the world were shocked to find your old Hum paper, “Gay Stuff in The Odyssey,” uploaded to the Department of Justice’s website. Email screenshots showed that several of Epstein’s associates, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Noam Chomsky, Jean-Luc Brunel, and Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway, individually commented on the inconsistencies in your writing and the thin textual evidence for your claims about the possible relationship between Telemachus and Nestor.
The greatest embarrassment from the files, in which your unredacted full name appears, was the “C” you received on the paper. In an email to journalist Michael Wolff, Epstein noted that “the odyysey [sic] paper is where people get an a- at least usually” and that “its the most entertaining book in world lit according to my art guy.” In email correspondence with the Dealer, Justice Department officials confirmed that those messages were “unequivocally sent by Epstein, judging by the errors in the typing that is typical of him,” which was “not unlike that paper you asked about.”
Fortunately, your other HUME paper claiming to have found similar relations between Gilgamesh and Enkidu, is absent from the Files. That paper is instead publicly available on the Internet Archive, after convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein uploaded it to ask for “public feedback.”
On the other hand, your SOSC papers, which for some reason all include “Gay Stuff” in the title despite the fact you took Power, are not publicized. Those were leaked to us by actor Kevin Spacey, whom you should not have sent them to.
