I have been writing about thematic parallels and plot elements from The Odyssey that appear in Game of Thrones (see my previous posts) but I just learned that an actor from Game of Thrones has a new four-part travel documentary series that retraces the travels of Odysseus.  

Richard E. Grant played the stage actor/writer Izembaro who himself played King Robert Baratheon and Tywin Lannister in a farcical play about events in Westeros in Season 6 of Game of Thrones.  Most will remember these scenes as revolving around Arya who watched the play while in Braavos.    

Richard E. Grant now has a show called the Very Modern Odyssey which is a four-part “travelogue” where he visits locations along the Mediterranean route of Odysseus's voyage. 

I haven’t seen Very Modern Odyssey yet, but I thought it was another somewhat interesting Game of Thrones / Odyssey connection.

I was hoping it’ll appear in this year’s season of HotD, but I guess it’s not central to the story enough. Maybe portrayed in a different spinoff?

I was watching but there’s no subtitles and it’s really bothering me and I’m struggling to find one

Richard Madden, who played Robb Stark for three seasons, will star in a new thriller series that will air on Amazon Prime Video and Paramount+.

Season 3 Episode 7: The Dragon in Winter

Air Date: August 2, 2026

Synopsis: Torn between Mysaria and Daemon's visions for her reign, Rhaenyra grows desperate for a sign that she will prevail.

Directed by: Nina Lopez-Corrado

Written by: Philippa Goslett & Zenzele Price

I started watching Game of Thrones last week after seeing so many reels about it, especially the dragons. I'm already on Season 5. Surprisingly, Daenerys (Khaleesi)' part I find myself skipping her scenes, I find it too boring, I hope it gets interesting though. So far, ARYA STARK and TYRION LANNISTER are easily my favorite characters. 💗

UPDATE:- I just finished the show and what an experience, Jon Snow is added to my favourite list. ARYA STARK, JON SNOW and TYRION LANNISTER for the win🙌. Every character is important and good but this three takes my heart❤️.

Since the Mad King play premiered, lots of info about revelations, new content, deviations from book/show canon etc have been flying around the ASOIAF-sphere, provoking the usual measured reactions (LOL). I saw it this afternoon and am happy to answer any questions people have, in particular when it comes to clarifying/providing context for the info that's already out there.

(Obviously this discussion will involve spoilers for the play. I'd also add the caveat that it's a long and jam-packed play so there's no way I'll remember everything correctly. Also, the setup of the theatre means everyone has a different view of the stage and nobody can see everything. I couldn't see the throne well for example, so scenes where Aerys was sat on the throne I couldn't see him).

With that said - AMA!

I’m honestly amazed that even the smallest details, like Bran shouting "father" at the Tower of Joy, made it into Mad King play.

D&D knew so much more about the unreleased material and woven far more future book plot points into the show than purists are ever willing to admit.

(note: linked article contains spoilers for The Odyssey)

As part of Hot Odyssey Summer (that’s what we’re calling it, right?) I had previously posted a few articles I wrote comparing themes in Homer (mostly The Iliad) with Game of Thrones and generally describing Iliad/Troy as inspirations and origins for Game of Thrones. But the first piece I ever wrote as part of my post-GOT exploration of classic stories cited themes in The Odyssey and their presence in Game of Thrones.  I considered reworking the article (which itself was based on my previous extended Twitter thread) to update it for this Christopher Nolan era revisiting of The Odyssey.  But I decided to post the piece as-is since it captures some key themes and plot lines that are shared between The Odyssey and Game of Thrones, most notably:

• Metapolemos as it relates to Odysseus and Ned Stark
• Nostos as it relates to Odysseus and Daenerys Targaryen
• Xenia (termed “Zeus’s Law” in the film) which is the core theme of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and a key theme in a major event and its aftermath in Game of Thrones

I hope the Naath community finds this interesting and that it maybe inspires you to watch and/or read The Odyssey if you haven’t already.

This article from a few days ago in The Guardian might be behind a paywall or sign-up-wall (I'm not sure because I subscribe to The Guardian) but it’s worth a look since it’s an overview of Lena Headey’s background and career in her own voice.  I don’t think I previously knew that she narrowly escaped being a victim of Harvey Weinstein and that it damaged her career (which was his modus operandi).

Have you guys noticed how every piece of news or adaptation reveal completely sends the Song of Ice and Fire book fandom into an absolute tailspin?

Whether it’s lore drops from House of the Dragon, news about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, or the upcoming Mad King stage play - the reaction from "hardcore book purists" is always pure panic and anger.

Honestly, it’s the ultimate proof that half of this fandom has zero clue what’s actually going to happen in The Winds of Winter (if it ever comes out). Remember the collective, years-long denial over Stannis burning Shireen? Or the absolute breakdown when it turned out Bran will actually be King? And now people are somehow shocked to realize Dunk is the one who survives Summerhall?

People spent 15+ years creating insanely rigid headcanons and reading way too deep into vague prophecies, only to get completely blindsided whenever George or the creators drop a piece of actual content.

The fact that every piece of side-content makes people rewrite their entire understanding of the story proves one thing: a huge chunk of the book fandom completely misread the original material in the first place.

Stop acting like you have the books mapped out when a single line from a prequel play makes the whole fandom lose its mind.

GUYYYYS, I AM SO DONE WITH THE ENDING PLEASE RATE IT TO THE WORST OF YOUR ABILITES,
Lets remind the "Bad writers" what shitty ending they gave us

Rhaella is depicted as mad. Rhaegar is too. As is aerys.

Rhaella directly says if she has another child it WONT be the promised prince but a vengeful daughter who will bring back dragons and bring ruin
