What The Odyssey Is Actually About
"Well, who wrote an open letter to Hollywood saying, "Why are none of us in the film?" The Greeks. The Greeks don't appear at all in the casting list of Nolan's Odyssey, which for all its historic realism, to their mind shows an acute lack of interest in Greek culture and Greek actors."
David Butterfield claims Greek figures in the cultural sector wrote an open letter to Hollywood questioning why no Greek actors appear in the casting for Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming film adaptation of The Odyssey. Butterfield presents this as evidence that modern Greece is being sidelined in major screen retellings of Greek antiquity, even when productions market themselves as historically grounded.
