Every famous death in The Odyssey is the same crime.

The Trojan War? Started because a houseguest stole his host's wife. The cyclops? Blinded for eating his visitors. The suitors? Slaughtered for overstaying their welcome in another man's home.

Nolan read it correctly. Homer wrote 3,000 years ago about one thing: how you treat strangers decides whether civilization holds.

Here's why the Greeks were obsessed with it. Ancient Greece had no hotels, no cops, no ID. If you traveled anywhere, you knocked on a stranger's door and hoped.

So they made hospitality sacred. Feed the stranger. Give him a bed. Don't ask his name until after dinner. Zeus himself enforced the rule, and any beggar at your door might be a god in disguise. So you treated every stranger like a king.

Break the rule and the gods break you. That's the entire plot.

We still carry the proof in our mouths. Guest, host, and hostile all come from the same ancient word. A stranger at your door was always both things at once.

Nolan bet $250 million that after 3,000 years, we still need the reminder. $257 million opening weekend, his biggest ever, says he was right.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

so wonderful how James Joyce, who personally abhorred violence, directs Leopold Bloom on his non-violent odyssey through Dublin: a hero who repays insults with kindness, never loses his temper, shrinks from confrontations; returns home at last to the slovenly bedroom of the wife who has betrayed him with a brazenly macho suitor, quietly prepares for bed & next day's resumption of a the pacifist life. ("Ulysses")

Now that everyone’s thinking of the Odyssey, it reminded me of this great art installation by Tatianna Blass inspired by Penelope’s story. It was at the Chapel of Morumbi in São Paulo ages ago.

"Čiope se neće vratiti sve do sljedećeg proljeća. Ostavile
su me samog u ljudskom mnoštvu koje me uzrujava i izluđuje. Čitao sam da čiope lete i dalje od Sahare, sve do Ugande ili tamo negdje, i da najveći dio života provedu u zraku.

[Драгана @MoroseDarling]

Upravo onako kako bih i ja želio: da se ne dodirujem tla, da se ne dotičem nikoga. Da sam mogao birati hoću li se roditi kao čovjek ili kao čiopa, s obzirom na sve viđeno,
odlučio bih se za ovo drugo." Fernando Aramburu

BREAKING: Netflix just dropped the first trailer for In the Hand of Dante, featuring Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Al Pacino and Martin Scorsese. This film has been on my radar for such a long time- I can’t believe we’re finally getting the release on June 24th. This looks excellent.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas
