To be fair, he was the most culturally relevant homer for almost 2700 years. (And still is, outside of US and maybe a few other countries.)

P.S. I know it's a shitposting community.

To be even more fair, Theophania, the ancient Greek woman whose name literally morphed linguistically into Tiffany, is completely forgotten. I'm aware that someone with that name existed, but even as a scholar of Greek Mythology, and The Bronze Age Collapse, I never ran across that particular name before CGPGrey went on a fever dream induced, (not exactly,) quest to find the origins of the name Tiffany.
