Serial mistranslation, is there anything it can't do?
- In the #Odyssey, #Nausicaa is a Phaeacian princess who, prompted by Athena, acts with courage and hospitality to the shipwrecked and naked Odysseus.
- In #Victorian England, Nausicaa is elevated to a chaste, compassionate, domestic, dutiful, modest, and nurturing paragon of virtues. Unlike the dangerous beauty of Helen of Troy, Nausicaa is seen as a reliable supporting character for some male protagonist.
- Bernard #Evslin’s "Gods, Demigods and Demons" (1975) leans into this, but must have fallen asleep at some point. Nausicaa is portrayed as an eccentric, free-spirited Phaeacian princess who rejects traditional suitors to live a life devoted to nature, music, and imagination. Nausicaa gets 3 pages. Zeus only 1.
- Hayao #Miyazaki's "Nausciäa of the Valley of the Wind" is a fearless, nature-communing warrior for peace and co-existence, in part because of Bernard Evslin work misleading Miyazaki into thinking Nausicaa was widely recognized and known for her love of nature.

Odysseus' queen is too far away and the King gets trapped recklessly sprinting ahead of his troops. How... expected.

Went to see The Odyssey with my daughter. I can see how some people view this as a sister film to Oppenheimer. Smart man leads a team to build a device (Trojan horse / Atomic bomb) to successfully win a war. Although widely praised, he is horrified by the brutal outcome and believes that the violation of civilized order is an offense to the gods and dooms the world.

Brilliant translator of the Odyssey, Emily Wilson, takes an in-depth look at Christopher Nolan's film and let's just say she finds Homer's poem much richer and exciting than what she saw in the theater.

'Sotelo doesn’t knock digital formats. But he said film offers a level of clarity, color, contrast and brightness through a photochemical process that digital can’t.
'“It’s a long piece of plastic, but having that much detail and color and having a soundtrack printed on it and having all this information packed into 35mm of width is just crazy,” he said.'
What it takes to screen ‘The Odyssey’ on 70mm film at the Heights Theater

RE: https://velocipederider.com/@ruari/117025431211138414
If you happen to be in #Oslo on holiday (vacation 🇺🇲), go and check out the #Draken . It's in Oslo for a limited time and you can pay a small amount and get a little tour by one of the crew. Especially fun if you recently watched the new #Odyssey film.
And if you don't want a tour, it is actually still worth a quick look to be honest. There are a few information boards up with nice pictures you can read for free.
It's also near #MunchMuseet and my favourite donut and coffee place #TalorMade .

So I was doing my almost daily cycle down to #Oslo centre and while on top of the #Operahuset what do I see out of the corner of my vision but @th's ship (OK it is not actually his personally but he is a crew member, so I consider it sort of his as well).
For those that do not recognise it, it's the #Draken, famous for a few reasons but most recently it stars in The #Odyssey (2026).
