Fantastic article. I literally had an argument with a friend recently, who never read the story. I mentioned that what he should truly be upset about is the historically inaccurate cyclops. Haha. I for one am excited. Nolan hasn't let me down yet.

So pleased to have an essay in the Chicago Sun Times today on the issues around telling a “true” story in the Odyssey

Look! @joegoodkin.bsky.social remaking epic into lyric @gettymuseum.bsky.social

In person is sold out but it will be streamed via the link at the listing here.

Let’s go…!

Can’t wait to perform and talk Odyssey as part of this awesome event with @sentantiq.bsky.social et al

Love this story about combining two of my passions: endurance running and Homer’s Odyssey

I wrote about performing the Blues of Achilles and the Odyssey back to back and what I think my performances capture that textual translations can’t joesodyssey.com/blog/blog/72...

“But an aquarium is not a river just like a text is not a performance.” Thx to @sentantiq.bsky.social for leading the way with Homeric analogies. AncientBluesky joesodyssey.com/blog/blog/72...

Typically elegant stuff. I’ve been thinking of the text of the epics as an aquarium whereas performances were a river.
