[Quoting a friend]
As an unabashed Christopher Nolan fangirl, even I was surprised at the cultural relevance and impact of The Odyssey. Who knew that a 2,000+ year old story still had something to say about our current political climate? 😬
I've been reading all the takes, and so far my favorites have come from The NY Times (!!!). Ezra Klein's podcast is a good one, but my favorite is probably David French's : https://archive.ph/VbXFr . Namely the last line, which is pertinent to this group specifically: "Heedless people, you will pay for what you destroy."
