I'm ridiculously late to @sturdyalex.bsky.social's @alexpodyssey.bsky.social Roaring with laughter this morning at his tale of Sisyphus. When I was a little kid in Glasgow mum would often describe annoying things as Sisyphean. I was always baffled :) Ta Alex podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

If you have even the slightest interest in Greek mythology, art, culture, academia and the pure joy of listening to deeply thoughtful and intelligent podcasts then you should check out @alexpodyssey.bsky.social. I‘m delving into the two parter on Persephone and it‘s brilliant.

Odyssey definitely worth seeing - but not necessarily on IMAX. It's pretty in your face anyway, and a bit OTT at 19.7mx15.9m. Lots of stuff you can connect to current and past US politics, but if you want the best analysis, listen to @sturdyalex.bsky.social et al on open.spotify.com/episode/4WtT...

Now that I've seen the film, I was able to listen to this. A thoughtful and cordial discussion that's totally worth your time. I'm a bit of a Nolan apologist, and although none of his films - not even this one - are perfect, I enjoy them all. I agree with all the strengths and flaws identified here

Just caught up with this incredible podcast from @sturdyalex.bsky.social I loved the movie. I have never read the poem. So it was amazing to listen to classicists and film buffs swap notes together. The most accessible Nolan film gets the most accessible review 👏👏👏

Loved the film and powerful contemporary messages. Thoroughly recommend @alexpodyssey.bsky.social for an in depth discussion of The Odyssey led by Alex Andreou who is originally from Greece, includes experts in Greek mythology and relating the themes to today’s world plus the Greek view of the film.

Saw the film yesterday and the first thing I wanted to do is listen to my fellow Greek @sturdyalex.bsky.social talk about it. As much as I loved the scale and vision of Nolan’s film for me it lacked the heart of the Odyssey… the Gods, the sex, the humour and some .. Greekness.

This is a very enjoyable follow up to seeing the film. Being familiar only with some of the most famous elements of the story it was interesting to hear about what was missing and what was different.

Even more remarkable given his back story. Eumaeus was of royal birth, abducted from the island of Syros as a child, and sold to King Laertes, but was raised with kindness as a brother to Odysseus. (Maybe acknowledgement of paternity issues?) This is why 'Zeus's Law' (Xenia) is paramount to Eumaeus.

“While the emotional worlds of Penelope and Telemachus are muddled by court intrigue and notions of royal duty, Leguizamo's blind swineherd Eumaeus and the dog Argos - just as in Homer's poem - are the true heart of Ithaca. They love Odysseus most purely and ache for his return with no agenda.”

I was just as excited to listen to this episode as I was to see the film itself, and it didn’t disappoint. What a fascinating conversation about the themes of The Odyssey and the compromises involved in adapting it into a three-hour film. It flew by and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you!

“I have no issue with Nolan making this as a ‘Summer Blockbuster’. I actually think: Good on you! If you can make such beautiful cinema and make a lot of money in the process, so that companies back other projects like it, well done. It brings audiences back to the movies and back to the Classics.”

This episode is fabulous. Highly recommend for anyone who has seen The Odyssey… and you should see The Odyssey. One point brought up was the colour palette being very Nolan and not so Ancient Greece. I loved the film but definitely wish it had been vibrantly coloured. It’s very grey.

“The Gods are principal character of the Odyseey. There is a force working against him. His efforts to get home are actively derailed by divine will. If you remove them it becomes a story about a dude who refuses to ask for directions... Perhaps the most human story of all.”

Absolutely loved discussing this with the Podyssey crew. We didn’t all agree on everything, but that is what made it so fascinating. Being a sort of classicist at the moment means people asking for recommendations and, honestly, Podyssey is a great place to start, not least for the storytelling.
