## Resource

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is sparking heated debate among scholars, who argue the film misrepresents Odysseus by stripping away his cunning, humor, and charm—core traits from Homer’s epic. Critics like Emily Wilson and Daniel Mendelsohn say Nolan prioritized spectacle over substance, reshaping Odysseus into a tormented everyman rather than the wily trickster of the original. While praising the film’s visual power, they insist the changes fundamentally alter the story’s soul, leaving purists wondering if this is truly an adaptation—or something entirely new.
