Before Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," there was Homer's original epic poem. Kelly Olson, graduate chair of the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Western Ontario, joins CBS News
Then people who read it will realize that the movie is nothing like the book. There's lots of stuff in the book that's not in the movie, and lots of stuff in the movie that's not in the book. I did not like it and saw at least two people leave the theater who did not come back
The trailer edit alone is SACRILIGIOUS! To tear the head off the mermaid of the bow on your own ship?? These movie makers are unabashedly barbaric at movie-making and have made of that less of their Homeric opportunity.
I remember first being aquainted with Homer and The Odyssey in high school about a million years ago, and I loved it! So happy they've made this movie, can't wait to see it!

Too bad cuts in federal funding to higher ed since the 80s means no one is literate anymore and any department competent to reach Homer has been annihilated. Well done America.
0:55 Read the book first and hack that abomination later. At 12 I was reading Plato, The Odysee and the Theory of Relativity.

My question is if all is ok why didn't you show the address in it's entirety and let the people be the jury unless yiu feel your viewers are not intelligent enough to form an independent opinion. Just a thought Dare you to respond!!!!;
Hard to believe this was the best “expert” for this classic work. “It’s a long read.” “When Homer actually wrote it down.” Huh?
