  1. So, #Cassandra of Troy is cursed that nobody ever believes her prophecies. It's ridiculous that she never put that to use:
    #Greeks would never use subterfuge.
    #Achilleus is the most level-minded person ever.
    #Odysseus is better than a homing pigeon. For a fast way home, ship with him.
    #Apollo is the greatest of gods and always satisfies...

  5. If you can't get enough of Homer's epics (in modern formats), try this podcast:

    The storyteller did a followup series based on the Odyssey.

  9. I enjoyed watching "The Oddyssey" at the cinema this week.

    You get what you expect. A bit too much "muscular men running screaming to their ships". And the pacing felt a bit off here and there. But the acting was great, and the cinematography worked.

    I really like how Odysseus grappled with what he did at Troy. This perspective made the movie shine, as did the women moments. Mostly felt like a conventional sword-and-sandal movie, though.

  13. O, Odysseus,
    with your bronze skin
    and saltwater eyes,
    let me again have
    what the sea couldn’t keep,
    salt still whittling grooves
    in your tattooed shoulders,
    the long muscle of you
    building twenty years
    of sins we were
    made to commit...

  15. Nice video about how to string Odysseus's bow.

    But why did he leave his bow at home, to start with?

  16. Puisque "L'Odyssée" de #Nolan charrie son lot de pseudo-polémiques, je pose là cet excellent épisode de Faire l'histoire sur l'Odyssée et Homère : arte.tv/fr/videos/108505-009-A

  17. "...Greek #myth is always full of...random...#fanfiction..."

    #Homeric scholar referring to the many different and disputed versions of #Odysseus' story, going back to #Homer himself, and how all of the #Greek #myths are stories built upon stories.

    Meaning #ChristopherNolan's The Odyssey is as historically accurate as every other version of the story.

    Get over yourselves bros, it's #fanfic all the way down.

  22. Odysseus Wasn’t Real. But He Had Real Worshipers in Ancient Ithaca.The ruins of a 2,400-year-old complex suggest that, to the Greeks of antiquity, Homer’s protagonist was not just a character in a poem but a figure of genuine devotion.

  24. Will hier demnächst jemand Odysseus sehen und vorher diesen Artikel über die Verwurstung von Toppoi mit Bezug zur Antike durch Rechtsextreme lesen, und mir dann sagen ob sich da was im Film wiederfindet?

    Dann muss ich das nicht machen. Küsschen...
