  16. OUCH! The Translator of #TheOdyssey Just Slammed #ChristopherNolanโ€™s Movie

    Excerpt: "Throughout her piece, the scholar notes that no adaptation should necessarily follow an original exactly. (In fact, she praises some radically reinterpretations of The Odyssey, including #MargaretAtwood's #Penelopiad, #MadelineMiller's #Circe, and other literary classics that riff off the text, including those of #Euripides, #JohnMilton, and #JamesJoyce.)"

    Alkibiades was so hot that he defected from Athens to Sparta, then from Sparta to Persia, and was still taken back by Athens. He is said to have been in love with #Socrates, whose looks were described as resembling a satyr, something Kebriones captures well in their drawing.

  23. #introduction or rather #reintroduction

    I'm Matthew! I'm an architect who assists with campaigns for return of the Parthenon Sculptures (AKA Elgin Marbles) to Greece - but my interest extends to all forms of cultural property disputes & looting of ancient artefacts - plus a fair bit of ancient Greek history too.

    I blog at: elginism.com/ but not nearly as often as I want to.
