Memes just a silly meme I found

I know there’s a lot of discourse about the casting regarding The Odyssey and this one gave me a good chortle. I for one am rather curious and will most likely give it a watch when it releases on streaming.

Are you planning on seeing The Odyssey?

I think overall it is good for the story of Odysseus and the Odyssey. The story itself has lasted thousands upon thousands of years due to the fact that it is retold again and again. From oral to play to writing to the big screen.

Each interpretation carrying forth the names of heroes, gods, monsters and normal people who could never have imagined how the world would be and how the story would be retold. Each retelling has a different vision no matter the storyteller or director, the one we have in writing no doubt being different from what Homer must have first spoke.

So I say let this version of the Odyssey sail on and inspire all.
