This One Detail Ruined Christopher Nolans Odyssey [wawb4x0nlzT]
I just saw Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, and boy do I have many thoughts. Nolan may have gotten one of the most important aspects of Odysseus completely wrong—and it’s all because he read Emily Wilson’s terrible translation. Today, I get into why Nolan’s film is good but not stellar and why you should never read the Emily Wilson “translation” of the Odyssey. _______________________________________________________________________ If you’re new here, my name’s Liza, and you’ve found the coolest literary corner on the Internet.
