My review of Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, the emerging battle over the artistic interpretation of antiquity, and why this matters for liberalism and the left....

I think this is what AI will take from us, knowledge like this, the ability to converse like this on topics that you have deep knowledge of, because why bother spending years deepening your understanding of something when you can just ask AI to spew it out for you. And most of our conversations of length these days are done over typed message. No one really has these type of conversations face to face anymore. When was the last time you really chewed it out on a topic with a friend irl?

What is “Zeus’ law”?

In the new Odyssey movie, Christopher Nolan presents “Zeus’ law” as a sign of civilization, a moral standard that governs guest and host, and even an equivalent to Christ’s golden rule—do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

But is this true?

What is the so-called “Zeus’ law” in Homer’s Odyssey?

Let’s look at the truth of this ancient ritual in Homer, the Bible, and in Christianity.

Mostly indigenous actors from the Yucatán Peninsula were cast for Apocalypto, and the entire movie is spoken in Yucatec Maya.

Lmao. Nolan basically admitting nobody else read a single page. they just heard the name and signed. the Romans really were right about actors.
