One tragic aspect of the Odyssey that I've never really seen handled by any adaptation is the link between Odysseus' marriage and the Trojan War itself.

When Helen was of age to be married, all the Lords of Greece came to seek her hand. This was an issue for her stepfather the King of Sparta who could only pick one husband and then would have to deal with the far greater number of angry rejected suitors.

One suitor was Odysseus, then a younger man. He quickly ascertained that he had no chance of marrying Helen. Ithaca was too poor for him to even bring any proper gifts, let alone a dowry. But he did catch the eye of the King's niece, one Penelope.

Now Penelope was still a bit out of Odysseus' league, but not so much as Helen was. So he makes a deal with the King of Sparta. Support my bid to marry Penelope, and I'll give you a solution to this suitors problem. The King agrees, so Odysseus suggests all the suitors swear an oath to defend Helen's marriage from anyone who might strike against it. They all, including Odysseus, so swear, and Helen is married to Menelaus. The King proves as good as his word, and Penelope is wed to Odysseus.

Of course this means that Odysseus has now bound himself to fight for Helen and Menelaus. After an attempt to feign madness he is forced to fulfill his duty.

So his own plan, to marry Penelope and stop a hoard of ravenous suitors, ends with him forced to defend his own marriage from a hoard of ravenous suitors.

Not to mention that when they came to get him to force him to fufill his oath, during his whole ploy of fake madness- they try to get him to kill his infant son, to prove he has truely gone mad. Which of course he refuses to do near instantly, thus breaking his theater level act and having to go to war. His son will live, because he refused to kill him, but now he will have to live and grow up without him. Not to mention the gods force him to kill another baby at some point (for morally complex reasons depending on how you personally view it), which is such a heartshattering parellel that doesn't get the acknowledgement that it should.

Christopher Nolan being like "uhh the Nobody pun woUldNt WOrK iN moDErN LAnGuAgE!!1!" meanwhile our homeboy TE Shaw busting out a translation "I am No-Man!" one hundred years ago, where the modern audience of average intellect can draw the tongue-in-cheek reference to Norman, a name that actually exists in English, thus Odysseus posing as someone and no-one at the same time, and delivering the pun as well.

Dude. I knew Nolan's film would be a steaming pile of trash ever since it got announced, but that he would disrespect not only Greek culture, but also the long line of translators delivering that culture to modern audience in his own native tongue so that even he can understand - how ignorant can one person be.

Completely missing the point of hubris - the cornerstone of ancient Greek culture! That will tell you all you need to know about his latest flick.

Soon in your local theatre.

Ah, sorry— while writing my NINAH fanfic, I got my fandom wires crossed, these might as well be just for me.

Ah well, when a poem makes you sad about your blorbo, what can you do?

[paintedimagery]

Just a silly thought I had

[hiitspussyhands]

You know when there's like, a straight show and everyone's like "it's full of queer subtext between the main straight dudes, and this character is obviously autistic and they really meant to say trans rights"? And then there's a queer show and all of a sudden it's "no but they weren't sensitive about this character's trauma and the queer sex scenes are too short and they're all problematic as fuck, i can't even watch"? And then our shit doesn't get renewed, and we hated on it the whole way for not embodying the perfection we'd never dream of demanding from the straight show?

Yeah, something like that
