Ancient Historian Breaks Down Christopher Nolan's Odyssey

One thing again I love about the Home epics, not just the Odyssey, but also the Iliad is that we regularly see grown men crying, expressing their emotions, and feeling absolutely no shame for it.

Naturally, therefore, I am quite familiar with this piece of ancient literature and the mythological period that it recounts. It's one of my favorite pieces of classical literature.

Natalie Haynes, Children of Jakcasta, also does this where it leans into the realism, but because of the nature of the Odyssey, you can never do that fully.

actually I've really enjoyed certain adaptations like Pat Barker's Silence of the Girls, which is an adaptation of the Trojan War that kind of misses out the mythological elements.
