Some of the words you’ll find within yourself,
the rest some power will inspire you to say.
You least of all — I know —
were born and reared without the gods’ good will.
[τὸν δ᾽ αὖτε προσέειπε θεά, γλαυκῶπις Ἀθήνη:
‘Τηλέμαχ᾽, ἄλλα μὲν αὐτὸς ἐνὶ φρεσὶ σῇσι νοήσεις,
ἄλλα δὲ καὶ δαίμων ὑποθήσεται: οὐ γὰρ ὀίω
οὔ σε θεῶν ἀέκητι γενέσθαι τε τραφέμεν τε.’]Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 3, l. 25ff (3.25) [Athena to Telemachus] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Fagles (1996)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/homer/46674/

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?

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. Stephanie Zacharek's insightful review: https://time.com/article/2026/07/15/the-odyssey-review-christopher-nolan/

While I'm extremely unlikely to actually watch this movie, I really enjoyed the recommendations in this article on resources for understanding the Odyssey. I'll definitely take advantage of a few of them.
