Mary Beard on The Odyssey and how empires fall – Stateside with Kai and Carter
By Hosted by Carter Sherman Carter Sherman , produced by Anabel Bacon , engineered by Ivan Kuraev , executive producer Jonathan MenjivarChristopher Nolan’s new adaption of The Odyssey is an absolute monster of a hit, grossing $264m in its opening weekend. But celebrated classicist Mary Beard tells host Carter Sherman that while Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic poem comes with plenty of action-packed battle scenes, the film is missing the original's "elusive sexiness" – and its approach to women left her disappointed. Carter and Beard also explore why rightwing politicians – and people like Elon Musk – are so obsessed with co-opting the ancient world. They ask: who gets to own the classics?
