In "The Odyssey" (2026), Odysseus speaks with a Boston accent, despite being from Ithaca, which is in New York.

[Noemon Acragas @noemonas]

Homer's Odyssey and Iliad was indeed a diverse melting pot that explicitly mentions "Memnon the Son of the Dawn from Ethiopia" as "the most handsome man on earth" and this being told by Odysseus himself:

"ὃς περὶ πάντων ἦν ἀνδρῶν
κάλλιστος ἰδέσθαι τῶν ἄλλων μετὰ Μέμνονα δῖον"

"he [Eurupulos son of Tilefidis] is the handsomest out of all men I ever saw, all except for Memnon"

2) We do not know the skin colour of Helen. Ancient Greeks used the words "white" to refer to "domesticated good women" and the word "black" to refer to "brave men".

3) This is not just in word but also in pottery and art, men are painted totally black and women totally white, in later periods these absolutely B&W hues lighten up in which men are very brown and women white but not like chalk. But the motif remains with more natural colours.

This never meant that all men were Black-African and all women White-Polish-Lithuanian. It was a style that represented their culture in poetry, art, pottery, etc. White colour for feminine domestication, obedience, black colour for male bravery.

4) Homer's Epics is art more than it is history, it can be interpreted as it has been by several people who look and looked nothing like the Greeks.

5) It is a movie for a global audience retelling a piece of art, not a documentary. It is absolutely fine to be told in a global language for a global audience.

6) The inclusion of more people than just Europeans piques more interest for Homer globally which can only be a good thing.

7) When you are racist against others, it don't matter how you justify it, it still shows.

A mystery that all these people are just dying like this. Any idea who could be responsible, @Reuters ?

Gotta say, did not have "Greece sends warships to defend island from Persian attacks" on my bingo card for this millennium, yet here we are.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.

Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.

These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?

Does anyone really believe that?
