Classicist Peter Gainsford @KiwiHellenist has a take on Nolan's Odyssey as a Homeric scholar: many scholars think that the epics have much more to say about the 7th century BCE than the Bronze Age https://kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2026/07/odyssey.html #classics #odyssey #ancMedToot

CW: Spoiler: The Odyssey
Ich habe eben Nolans The #Odyssey gesehen.
#Nolan hat eine der größten Geschichten aller Zeiten in einen 3-stündigen, 250 Millionen Dollar Arthouse Movie verwandelt.
Ich weiß noch nicht, was ich davon halten soll. Auf jeden Fall wurde - und das ist nicht überraschend - viel weggelassen. Das merkt man vor allem an der Geschichte mit dem Zyklopen Polyphem.
Aber es ist immer noch ein Nolan Film und die sollte man im Kino sehen!

To say it was an odyssey would be fair! When Roman historians go to see ancient Greece on film, we have opinions for sure.
Did we enjoy the Agamemnon-Darth Vader cross over? Yes. Were we impressed with Odysseus’ complete lack of charisma? No. Would Nolan benefit from having a co-writer who was a woman? Double yes.

Just because 'we found a location conforming to Homer's city of Troy' does not meanHomer's Iliad is a factual historical document about a real war!

What if Odysseus looked like Jason Bourne, and felt like Oppenheimer about his legacy?
Nolan's #odyssey answers this question, while asking many more.

Die Altphilologin Katharina Wesselmann ist für Geschichte der Gegenwart ins Kino gegangen und hat dabei zugeschaut, wie Christopher Nolan die Ambivalenzen der berühmten literarischen Vorlage zu Action verarbeitet. Doch wird der Blockbuster der literarischen Vielschichtigkeit seines antiken Helden gerecht und zu welcher Projektionsfläche stilisiert er ihn? #odyssey https://geschichtedergegenwart.ch/ein-unkomplizierter-held-christopher-nolan-saniert-die-antike/

Found the movie tedious and flat, but appreciated the 'moral injury detail' referred to here: #Odyssey

Het Rijksmuseum voor Oudheden heeft in het voorjaar 5 podcastafleveringen gemaakt over de Odyssee. Na de inleidende aflevering kun je meelezen en de toelichting beluisteren. Erg leuk.

What should you read once you’ve read Homer’s Odyssey (or seen the film 😜)? https://youtube.com/shorts/ZhD5bJ2CREI #Classics #Odyssey #Film #Books #Mythology

CW: #ThreeGoodThings
1. We watched a new #Odyssey movie and it was quite fun. Even though it was a bit "americanized"/"USAnized" at some moments.
2. I am slowly enjoying my time with #PowerwashSimulator.
3. We bough train tickets for tomorrow for the two last "side-by-side" seats.

I'm cramming Emily Wilson's #odyssey before seeing the film next week. It's nice that the Nausicaans cleaned all the brine off of Odysseus ('a princess and her laundry') but I'll never forgive them for what they did to Jean-Luc.

🇫🇷 vu au ciné: L'Odyssée de Nolan: très bonne réalisation mais comme on connaît tous l'histoire il n'y a aucun rebondissement: on attend la scène du cheval, du cyclope, des sirènes, de l'arc... Donc il n'y a là pas trop d'intérêt. Autant revoir les péplums des années 60. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFRO3xRKftc

And a photo of me on the steering oar of the Draken as we sailed away from the #Odyssey and back to Norway.

The #Odyssey behind the scenes photos are still under NDA, so please enjoy these post-filming photos of sailing Draken back to Norway.

In other #Odyssey thoughts, it's nice that Matt Damon has evolved into his Josh Brolin form at last!

Fascinating background information on the making of The Odyssey, the first movie ever to be recorded completely with IMAX cameras.
For actors and staff, it was an ordeal. Studying the ancient Greeks for costumes, customs, and music, learning to weave (Hathaway), constructing man-eating giants (no CGI), and walking thousands of stair steps daily just to get to the set.
Oh, yes, director Nolan forbade the use of wigs.
Where do you think Hades was shot?
