In the wake of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, there has been enormous interest in Homer’s ancient Greek epic—and in Odysseus, the hero at its center.
Who was Odysseus, why has The Odyssey remained relevant for nearly 3,000 years, and what does this story have to say about human nature today?
We also explore what Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is trying to tell us, how it compares with Homer’s original story, and whether Nolan has captured what makes Odysseus such a fascinating and enduring character. Classicist and Homer expert Joel Christensen joins the podcast to explore The Odyssey, Greek mythology, Odysseus, and why this ancient story still resonates today.
