Archaeologists and Classicists Discuss The Odyssey - Ethno 44
About this episode
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has been out for a few weeks, but how does it hold up to a panel of archaeologists and classicists?
In this episode, I’m joined by archaeologist, author, and YouTuber Raven Todd DaSilva, classicist, researcher, and PhD student Cosima Carnegie, and classicist and ancient dog expert Dr. Alyce Cannon to break down Nolan’s The Odyssey from the perspectives of archaeology, ancient history, and the original Homeric epic.
So how accurate is Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey? And more importantly: does it actually matter? Let us know!
