Für den Blogbeitrag der Woche habe ich mein bildungsbürgerliches Alter Ego gechannelt und mich der Frage gewidmet, warum uns Homers Odyssee immer noch so beschäftigt:
Die Stürme der Seele: Odysseus und die Kunst, Kurs zu halten ⛵
Christopher Nolan hat Homers Odyssee ins Kino gebracht. Ein Stoff, dessen schriftliche Fassung rund 2700 Jahre alt ist, funktioniert 2026 noch immer als grosses kulturelles Ereignis. Die interessantere Frage ist allerdings eine andere. Warum beschäftigt uns eine Geschichte weiterhin, deren Welt von Göttern, Zyklopen, Sirenen und Zauberinnen bevölkert ist? Warum erscheint uns Odysseus trotz dieser gewaltigen historischen Distanz nicht völlig fremd? Eine mögliche Antwort findet sich bereits bei Seneca. Er verlegt die Irrfahrt ins Innere des Menschen.
👉 Fazit: Odysseus fasziniert uns nicht, weil er über allen Gefahren steht, sondern weil er sich verirrt, Fehler macht, Verluste erleidet und trotzdem immer wieder versucht, seinen Kurs neu zu bestimmen. Odysseus kommt nicht ohne Schiffbruch nach Ithaka. Er kommt nach Ithaka, obwohl er Schiffbruch erlitten hat.

@kielkontrovers Vielen Dank für den Kommentar.
Gräzistin Dr. Samantha Philips schreibt dazu: "Wie die Ilias und die Odyssee entstanden sind, wird schon so lange diskutiert, dass die Forschungsfrage einen eigenen Namen bekommen hat: die Homerische Frage. Die Oral Poetry Forschung geht davon aus, dass der Mythos um Troja mündlich überliefert wurde, bevor Homer seine beiden Epen konzipierte. Die sogenannten Unitarier gehen davon aus, dass die Epen dann von einem einzigen Autor verfasst wurden, andere Thesen gehen von mehreren Texten aus, die zu einem Ganzen zusammengefügt wurden. So gesehen ist die Frage nach dem Original tatsächlich nicht einfach zu beantworten."Sie wird auf unserer Fragen&Antworten-Seite zur Odyssee noch ausführlicher darauf eingehen. Wir fangen jetzt an, die Antworten aus der Veranstaltung im Kino zu veröffentlichen. Geht wegen der Semesterferien aber nicht so schnell:
https://www.uni-kiel.de/de/cluster-roots/forschung/schwerpunktthemen/knowledge-roots/jetzt-wirds-epischGern dranbleiben und bei Bedarf noch mal nachfragen.

And in return may the gods grant you your heart’s desire; may they give you a husband and a home, and the harmony that is so much to be desired, since there is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends, as they themselves know better than anyone.
[Σοὶ δὲ θεοὶ τόσα δοῖεν, ὅσα φρεσὶ σῇσι μενοινᾷς,
ἄνδρα τε καὶ οἶκον, καὶ ὁμοφροσύνην ὀπάσειαν
ἐσθλήν· οὐ μὲν γὰρ τοῦ γε κρεῖσσον καὶ ἄρειον,
ἢ ὅθ’ ὁμοφρονέοντε νοήμασιν οἶκον ἔχητον
ἀνὴρ ἠδὲ γυνή· πόλλ’ ἄλγεα δυσμενέεσσι,
χάρματα δ’ εὐμενέτῃσι· μάλιστα δέ τ’ ἔκλυον αὐτοί.]Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author

«Det finst knapt noko verk i verdslitteraturen som held klesvasken så høgt i ære som #Homer», skriv Solveig Aareskjold i Klassekampen, og då nemner ho ikkje ein gong Navsikaa, nett som Nolan

"Two Odysseys"
My longform feature on Christopher Nolan's film The Odyssey seen through the eyes of a writer born in India & now living in the West
https://medium.com/counterarts/two-odysseys-497444be850d?sk=478f9a8562b80440b2b6f1aaedc9169b
A common Indo-European oral storytelling tradition lies at the core of the Odyssey, Ramayana & Mahabharata, & it makes for a fascinating linkage between the foundational epics of the East and the West

We've just watched 'The Odyssey' 😁👍🏻
Great movie, even if I prefer the 'Epic: The Musical' interpretation of Homer's story 🙂↕️Had a blast and I'm looking forward to the movie based on 'Epic: The Musical' and especially the upcoming Ilium saga of 'Epic: The Musical' 🥰❤️🔥

In a quest to bore readers to tears, #Claude #Fable 5 gifts us a torturous, line-for-line #translation of Homer’s classic, ensuring every comma and semicolon is lovingly preserved for those who have nothing better to do. 🤓 Each of the Odyssey's 12,107 lines is meticulously annotated, because who doesn't want a tedious #academic apparatus with their bedtime story? 📚💤

[FB] - Muzeum im. Anny i Jarosława Iwaszkiewiczów w Stawisku - Homer powrócił w tematach rozmów wywołany przez najnowszą ekranizację „Odysei” w reżyserii Christophera Nolana. Czy Iwaszkiewiczowie czytali, pytać nie trzeba. Wśród tysięcy książek w naszej bibliotece znajdują się wydania Homera oraz wiele innych dzieł poświęconych kulturze i mitologii Grecji. W jednej z nich kryje się nawet osobista dedykacja dla Jarosława Iwaszkiewicza od autora, Jana Parandowskiego.

Just watched #Odyssey - a $250M #fanfic with Discovery Channel narration energy. I'd pay real money for a Sean Connery voice-clone doing that narration, gravel and all.
I didn't steal a single beat from it. I learned what to avoid: swapping the ancient, bloody satisfaction of revenge for therapy-speak - "let go," "accept yourself," "walk away."
Homer's hero fights to reclaim his home.
This one just leaves it. -

And, oh! whate’er Heaven destined to betide,
Let neither flattery soothe, nor pity hide.
Prepared I stand: he was but born to try
The lot of man; to suffer, and to die.

The right hates The Odyssey because of its ‘wokeness’ – but it missed an even bigger threat to its worldview | Peter Swallow
By Peter SwallowThe new film extols the value of a rules-based world order. That’s far more radical than any casting decision
