Though it was written 2700 years ago, we keep retelling Homer’s Odyssey, revising it, remixing it, and incorporating it into modern fiction and film. From the Coen Brothers' movie, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, to James Joyce’s monumental novel Ulysses to Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad, which centers the tale around the hero’s wife, the story of Odysseus and his 10-year-long voyage home from the Trojan War continues to occupy our 21st century imaginations. This session will look at how the themes and episodes of The Odyssey keep making their way into our modern entertainment.
