  1. "The sudden tumult stirred him where he lay,
    And down he hasten’d, but forgot the way;
    Full headlong from the roof the sleeper fell,
    And snapp’d the spinal joint, and waked in hell. "
    --- Alexander Pope. Book X, The Odyssey

  5. After watching the Odyssey I thought about all the characters and after going through every character it was Sinon that carried most of the weight in setting the tone and the weight despite only appearing in a few shots.

    Elliot Page's excellent scene with the dead couldn't be better in any way.

  9. Just saw The Odyssey in the theater. It was a really good movie. As someone who usually doesn’t like Christopher Nolan, I think this was the perfect tale for him to tackle: everyone already knows the story & characters, so it’s fine if the movie is just vibes & visuals. #odyssey

  11. For those of you who have never read Homer’s The #Odyssey - and those who never want to - but your friends are dragging you to see the three-hour Nolan film:

  13. Are the #Iliad, the #Odyssey, and #Odysseus

    simply great #literature

    or do they compress functional #pattern s of complex adaptive systems that help explain their persistence across millennia?

    That is the testable hypothesis explored in my new paper.

  15. #Moth #Moths #Iowa

    I’m going to jump on the #Odyssey bandwagon (even though I might never see the movie…)

    This handsome moth is called “Antheraea polyphemus” and is named for Polyphemus, the Cyclops from Homer’s Odyssey. It’s all about the eyes!

    (My son took the photo yesterday outside of his workplace in central Iowa.)

  19. Ach so, ja. Nolans #Odyssey lohnt sich natürlich auch beim zweiten Mal im #Kino absolut.

    Bought Homer’s Odyssey (cheaply) in Germany in 2019 on a GIMP meetup. Maybe it’s a good time to post some scans :-) The bookseller turned quite hostile when i mentioned the Web, said the Web was putting him out of business.

  22. Der Fallout von #Musk zu Nolans #Odyssey macht auf offener Bühne deutlich, dass er einfach nur ein chud mit zuviel Geld ist. Selten war Reichtum so sehr an Peinlichkeit geknüpft.

  23. wow, went to the theater this afternoon to watch the odyssey. what a stunningly bad bit of work. poor aesthetic & sound, bad pacing, bad casting, bad writing, but at least it was long and made a passing nod or two in the general direction of some of the primary themes.

    the return from a couple years back did so much more with the material and medium.

  25. On Nolan's #Odyssey

    Racists: "How come some of the cast is colored? Colored people didn't exist back then!"

    People who've actually read Homer's Odyssey: "How come this fails to plumb the depths of Homer's work? It's shallow and dumbed down!"

    Everyone else: "Loved it!"

    Me: "I won't pay money for that. Might watch part of it if I'm flying and there's nothing else to watch on the seat-back screen."

  27. Short story:
    Saw The #Odyssey
    Didn't like it*.
    The end. 🤷‍♀️

    *you might really like it, tho.

  28. In case anyone’s interested: I can still recite the beginning of the #Odyssey from memory. In Ancient Greek. 😎 🤓
