To be fair the mosaic in the OP is not connected to the epitaphs quoted. The mosaic functions basically like a sign on the gate announcing the place is guarded by watchdogs does today. Chaindogs mostly did not lead very enviable lives, and were probably not considered such a member of the family as the epitaphs convey.
It is an unfortunate fact that even though we have these rare pieces of evidence of human empathy and bonding with animals, the lot of the majority of animals falling into the hands of humans throughout history has not be very good.
The Odyssey is not the oldest surviving literature by far. We have much older Mesopotamian and Egyptian literature for example.
But it is indeed old.

Yeah, it is the exact opposite of what OP claims. Historians are basically the only ones constantly demystifying her, while her legend as a sexy femme fatale lives on in the general public mind (thanks pretty much exclusively to Hollywood, because let’s face it, noone would know she existed without them).
Nah, it is the other way around. Historians would say those facts, and Hollywood and possibly general media would be the ones saying “sexy”.
Considering reality do you blame them? This is hardly satire, just sarcastic pointing out (US) reality.

Looks boiled, not raw. Still, it shouldn’t be boiled.

So you should go touch some grass, or whatever pathetic way that inane saying goes. You are the one on your high horse, making poor excuses for poor reasons.

They have read nothing but Harry Potter, so they will never know how subpar it is compared to so much other engaging young adult fantasy.

Especially the American car people.
It is pronounced pretty much the same way in a number of different languages.
And “yacht” or variations of it are used in the exact same way in a lot of other languages. It is really an exceptionally unfortunate example the monolinguistic OOP chose to be their point.
They all did. They were just not formally declared, doesn’t make it less of a war in practice, but it does in the context of the law in discussion. Loophole mechanics.
