@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 I do not claim to be on your side or claim to know what it is. The subtext I see in Nolans film would not make me a victim. Claiming Im claiming victimhood is a strawman. You havent 'critiqued' anything I have said, you spiral about my interpretation.
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 I never said it is a fact or have claimed to be victim of anything. I commented on subtext relating to Sea People. You took issue where there is none, insulted and spiraled. You took issue because you are the offended, you are the gleeful victim.
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 Don't say sir and then be offensive. I take nothing for granted and interpretation is neither worst or best. You misunderstood, accuse me of changing when I only reiterate and try and explain. You don't like my take on someone else's message and then insult and spiral.
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 I was talking about sea people. Stealing wives not marriage. I didn't realize you would spiral bring unable to follow my thread. I'm talking subtext. You keep regurgitating themes and assuming. You dragged this conversation into insults so explanations are pointless.
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 Ah you're being disingenuous. I make no accusations against Nolan, I simply used his phrasing to discuss subtext. No victim narrative, that's your assertion. You don't seem able to understand or discuss subtext civilized like. Just call me a chud and move on, idiot.
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 Are you being disingenuous or low iq? Welcome foreigners (a term Nolan uses) applies then to the Trojans going to Sparta, being welcomed, stealing your wife, and then crying hospitality afterwards. The film ends wkth Odyseus rejecting the old and sailing to the new west(subtext)
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 Thus the reference to stealing wives. I am not commenting on the film overall. You keep trying to do this. I was commenting on subtext in the films for why Sea Peoples cannot be foreigners. Disagree if you want, but what I said is coherent and not angry or offended.
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 I am referring to Nolans comments where HE says foreigners and how it refers to the use of Sea People. 'You' referred to Greeks and as such Europe not Odysseus. What you describe isn't really subtext but overtly stated. I don't refer to suitors but the Trojans as foreigners...
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 Once again I'm neither upset or offensive. You seem a little agitated though. 'Medievals' is a silly term & (again) Roman's have nothing to do with Homer. I was commenting on subtext within Nolans work. Technically it's not even a disagreement with him but observation of intent.
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 I was commenting on Nolans comments regarding the sea people and the use in his film. However Greeks don't owe hospitality to foreigners they are at war with, and Trojans aren't 'hosts'.
@jgarbax7@LostHistory9 Im not offended. I've studied classics. I know you found out about 'hospitality' yesterday but you ignore the nuance of it. Roman's later than Homer, undermine Greek importance for their own ascendancy e.g. The Aeneid. The fleet is cursed because of Ajax not the horse.
This is the future that leftism fights for - the stories your brilliant ancestors created will be used to promote complete foreigners and used as a vehicle for their representation while you and your children will simply be expected to shell out your last few remaining euros, what hasn't already been taxed to provide benefits to other foreigners, to see this abomination. Hades is far too good for Nolan and his sycophants.

I have an update concerning DOJ Epstein file # EFTA00038124, which includes the redacted names of the FBI Boston agents and officials who were running the Epstein coverup at Harvard and MIT. Those redactions are in blatant violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Today, Dr. Brett Carollo of @Culture_Decode filed a FOIA (FOIA-2026--03708) with the DOJ, requesting that those names be unredacted in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Mr Andrew D. Fiorillo at the DOJ replied just hours later, denying the FOIA request.
According to Attorney General Todd Blanche, there is no active investigation into the Epstein conspirators. Nor does the file in question include the names of victims, nor does it include any CSAM material. That means that not only are the original redactions illegal, but the DOJ is perpetuating the coverup by refusing to comply with the FOIA request to unredact the names of the FBI agents named in the file.
As you no doubt understand, there will never be justice, until those at the DOJ and FBI responsible for obstructing justice are held to account.
Because the DOJ has refused to unredact the names of those in the file, I respectfully request that you retrieve the names yourselves by viewing the file directly in the reading room.
Odysseus killed every suitor and his slaves who took refugee with them, dishonoring his house. He restored honor to his house. This movie has him abandoning Ithaca. It’s… not Homer.
Emily Wilson completely changes the meaning of Homer's Odyssey.
On the left is Robert Fagles' brilliant translation of Homer's epic. Reading Odysseus' conquest at Troy, you get the sense that this is a man full of glory who is proud to have conquered his enemies at Troy.
On the right is Emily Wilson's "interpretation." She downplays the glorious language in Homer's original text and somehow manages to translate αἰνότατον πόλεμον (awe-inspiring war) as "dreadful violence" to make some sort of political statement.
This is the translation that Nolan used, and this explains everything you didn't like about the movie.
This is the most condescending post I've seen about the movie. If this film is the standard for Greek Mythology adaptations, I'd rather we not get any at all.
