  1. Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/; from Ancient Greek ὕβρις (húbris) 'pride, insolence, outrage'), or less frequently hybris (/ˈhaɪbrɪs/), is extreme or excessive pride or dangerous overconfidence and complacency, often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance.

  2. As a Greek, Nolan is attacking my culture and history, which is European culture and history! He kneeled down to DEI and wokeness. No orchestra because there was no orchestra then, but black Helen, trans Achilles, latin and everyone but a Greek actor in this joke of a film, because??? The film is based on a self proclaimed feminist's adaptation of the Odyssey who is describing Odysseus as "problematic" and the whole opus as full of patriarchy. I know of not a single Greek who is going to watch this garbage! Oh, and a black rapper as the bard who tells the story? Really? WTF!

  3. People are forgetting, the Odyssey is a poem, it is not a historical document. The Gods in Greek mythology took many forms so it makes sense that they would manifest with many races. I'm interested to see this movie.

  4. If you want to know what Odyssey is about then read a good translation of the book along with a thousand commenteries on it.
    If you think you can condense it into a mindless movie then you are leaving out all the good essence which lies in the depths of the book.
    Why make this movie? Why risk getting it wrong??

  5. Someone help me out please because I’m apparently out of the loop on what’s going on. Every comment section etc I see online about the Odyssey there seems to be a lot of negativity. A lot of people saying they won’t go see the movie or that it will flop etc. What is all this about? I don’t understand. I thought people would be stoked for this movie?

  6. The white supremacist movement, also known as MAGA, will pretend to care about "historical accuracy." Meanwhile, these are the same people who lie about the causes of The Civil War. It's really sad when a bunch of trolls get bent out of shape over the casting of a black woman to play one character who probably only has one or two scenes in the entire movie. I feel sorry for these people. Just how much hate do you have to have in your heart to get upset over a fictional character in a fantasy movie? How do these people function in the real world when they're so full of rage?
