Homer's Odyssey and Christopher Nolan's adaptation (II)
6 novembro 2026, 10:00 • Irene Bulla
Today we continued our work on Homer’s Odyssey. We examined four well-known English translations of the poem’s opening, or proem, and compared them in terms of style, register, and vocabulary. We focused particularly on the different ways of rendering polytropos, the Greek word used to describe Odysseus’s defining quality, in English (pp. 5–6 of the Odyssey worksheet, available in the Week 8 folder). We then moved on to the final section (p. 7), where we discussed some of the issues raised by a recently released AI-generated version of the Odyssey.

Today we began working on our third case study: Homer’s Odyssey and Christopher Nolan’s 2026 film adaptation. We watched the film’s trailer, read the two articles on pp. 1–4, and completed the chart on p. 4 of the worksheet titled “Nolan’s Odyssey and the ‘daddy debate,’ English translations, and Grok” (available in the Week 8 folder).
