Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey’: The film that launched a thousand tweets
In the 15th century, an Oxford student was strolling through a forest reading Aristotle’s Logic when he was attacked by a wild boar. Legend has it that he shoved the tome down the beast’s throat shouting, “Graecum est” —it’s Greek (hence not readable), a phrase used by medieval scribes when they came across Greek passages in Latin works they were copying. It’s a refreshingly honest attitude, in contrast to the sudden outbreak of social-media Homer expertise following the release of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

In the 15th century, an Oxford student was strolling through a forest reading Aristotle’s Logic when he was attacked by a wild boar.

It’s a refreshingly honest attitude, in contrast to the sudden outbreak of social-media Homer expertise following the release of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. The casting of Lupita Nyong’o, a Black woman, as Helen, launched a thousand tweets.
