On the matter of Greek erasure in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Nolan's Odyssey isn't just a movie—it's the latest act in a 200-year-old tradition of appropriating Greek culture while denying that Greeks should have control of their own heritage. http://elizabethtai.com/2026/07/21/on-the-matter-of-greek-erasure-in-christopher-nolans-the-odyssey/ #links #blogging #odyssey2026 #odyssey #homer #greece #linkblogging

Tonight we sail the wine dark sea at the Filmhouse, in glorious 70mm film print format... I will make libations to the gods first; I have no wish for my bus home at night to take ten years... . #Edinburgh #Edimbourg #film #cinema #books #livres #TheOdyssey #Homer #ChristophetNolan #FilmhouseEdinburgh #Mythology #bookstodon

In Greek mythology, Calypso, whose name means "to hide" or "to conceal," is a nymph best known from Homer's (c.750 BCE) epic The Odyssey for falling in love with Odysseus and imprisoning him on her island, Ogygia, for seven years (or five years, depending on the source), during his long voyage home. #History #Odyssey #Odysseus #Homer #GreekMythology #Calypso #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/1-24943-en/

Sometimes we get pleasant surprises: Jackson's #LotR was one. Nolan's #Odyssey does not belong in that category. The trailers were appalling in every dimension. Nolan is hugely overrated & in his latest opus we see the standard markers of lazy contempt for the source work & culture. If you want to see a film about the #Odyssey, see The Return (2024) with Ralph Fiennes & Juliette Binoche.
