Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has people packing theaters, and Clay understands why. While he has a few reservations, he calls it a spectacular film.

But the movie also inspired him to return to Homer, and that’s his real recommendation. If you’ve seen the film, now’s the perfect time to pick up The Odyssey and experience the story that started it all.

Homer on Life and Death

Jasper Griffin

Clarendon Press, 1980 - Literary Criticism - 218 pages

This book demonstrates how Homeric poetry manages to confer significance on persons and actions, interpreting the world and the lives of the people who inhabit it. Taking central themes like characterization, death, and the gods, the author argues that current ideas of the limitations of "oral poetry" are unreal, and that Homer embodies a view of the world both unique and profound.
