Episode Details

Christopher Nolan’s epic retelling of “The Odyssey” is stirring global conversation, with Matt Damon as Odysseus and a dazzling cast bringing Homer’s timeless tale to life. While Greek educators use the original to spark moral debates among students, audiences in Greece seem unfazed by casting choices — they’re used to Hollywood stars portraying ancient heroes. Nolan dismisses pre-release criticism, insisting his goal was to make the myth feel fresh and relatable. At its core, “The Odyssey” endures because great stories transcend time and culture — they’re universal, adaptable, and forever relevant.
