#theodyssey — Public Fediverse posts

Reading Emily Wilson's fresh translation of "The Odyssey": wild surprises on every page.

Odysseus spends at least the whole first half crying. The best adjective a guy can get is "tall." Everybody's moisturizing with olive oil.

And this from King Alcinous of Phaeacia (an island regarded as one of literature's first descriptions of a utopia):

"We love the feast, the lyre, dancing and varied clothes, hot baths and bed."

Same, godlike Alcinous. Same.

This weekend, I went to see #TheOdyssey. My expectations were suitably low, but the film is (by the standards of Hollywood's craft) well done. A truly big picture, while (inevitabily) a few things go terribly wrong.

What happened to the enchantresses, for example? Prudish America cannot have adultery on a big screen anymore? WTF.

The Siren scene was also badly done: Odysseus skipped the excitement and went straight to the agony. Makes NO sense.

Annoying. Such things.
