One thing I loved about the third act of The Odyssey was the reveal that the “people of the sea” everyone feared and kept talking about were actually Odysseus and his crew all along.
They’d been going from island to island, causing chaos and breaking Zeus’s laws the entire time. 😭
Christopher Nolan revealed he’s only seen the crew applaud an actor on set twice in his entire career: once for Heath Ledger as the Joker, and once for Samantha Morton as Circe in #TheOdyssey.
It was a complex situation for her because almost every able bodied man of Ithaca went to war alongside Odysseus, Penelope was left with no guards to protect her household
The suitors weren’t just rude guests, they were threat too so to push them away was too hard and they might kill her son Telemachus
To make matters worse, the sacred rules of Xenia (ancient Greek hospitality) forbade her from simply throwing them out
Only the male head of the household which is Odysseus himself held that authority
Breaking those rules wasn’t just impolite… it was an open insult to the gods.

@FuriousNovaAV What crap is this? It’s even more racist than just saying you don’t find her attractive.
The scarring (POST-TROY) was Nolan’s way of showing that Paris’ action caused harm to everyone, that even his own prize was ultimately ruined by the act of theft & betrayal of Zeus’ law.
“the mcu has gotten too confusing” easy fix .. have luis recap the multiverse saga. Boom. Now everybody caught up without suffering thru secret slopvasion
A three week vacation ended when ICE pulled his car over in Florida. He was two days away from getting on a plane back to his family.
Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran is the third ICE-related death in a single week. #AbolishICE
Do we understand that Mitch McConnell isn’t just another trending topic? He’s a US senator who disappeared into the back of an ambulance 37 days ago and left his constituents without representation, while his own staff won’t say whether they’ve even spoken to him since.
🚨WHERE IS THE MEDIA???
Mitch McConnell’s senior advisor was just asked if Mitch should prove he’s alive with a video AND HE RAN AWAY.
This is fucking ridiculous. Call the special election now!!!
