Wealth and intelligence are not correlated
Although the President of the United States is an example of wealth ≠ intelligence, this post is not about him
Another man that qualifies is Elon Musk
Who announced that he would have AI make a “historically accurate” Odyssey movie by the end of the year.
Forgive me if I LAUGHED out loud at the idea of “historically accurate” Gods, Cyclops, sirens, monsters and witches
While some appearances are described by Homer (and not in great detail), others, of course. are entirely up to your imagination, including Helen of Troy whose appearance (besides beautiful) is not detailed in the Odyssey.
Not to mention, the Ancient Greeks did not imagine these creatures and their Gods to look like them, like the average Joe on the street in Athens
So unless race, age, eyes, hair or other features are specifically mentioned - feel free to imagine the Gods as you wish
Why not, many Christians imagine Jesus as blond and blue eyed - highly unlikely to be “historically accurate”
So yes, I am very curious how Elon Musk will ensure that the mythological characters of the Odyssey are “historically accurate”
Clearly, in this guy’s case, his wealth does not correlate with intelligence
