On dirait une représentation grecque de ces films américains où on vois pendant plusieurs heures un soldat américain être triste de tous les crimes de guerres qu'il a commis au Moyen-Orient
great time to get an english degree honestly nobody can read or write you might become scribe to the king in the next 15 years if you know cursive the way things are going
Yes but that's the thing, it's fundamentally against Odysseus as a character. He is a schemer who uses deception to his benefit. Same man who uncaringly killed sleeping men. The Trojan Horse is one of his finest. Making him into a honourable man wanting a fair fight is strange 😭
Sorry, folks. You can’t fully grasp the Odyssey by seeing a film version! You also can’t comprehend it by reading it in a book. You have to hear it sung by a bard in dactylic hexameter while in such an ecstatic state of drunkenness, you channel the Muse and add your own lines.
also I feel like directors forgot that sometimes it’s SUPPOSED to be uncomfortable
Satyricon made me feel genuinely uncomfortable in a lot of scenes BECAUSE THAT’S THE POINT, not everything about a world 2–3 thousand years ago needs to be softened just to please the audience
