@_olgaevagorou_: Replying to @Trevor Prowse 🇦🇺🇩🇪 “It’s fiction!” Yes! And? It’s our fiction! Our Folklore! And we take offence when it’s misrepresented and we are completely sidelined. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey misses a huge opportunity to feature Greek and Greek origin artists’ work and create a significant cultural moment completely contradicting itself in the conversation about representation. I discuss a lot more arguments about this production in my other two videos and I make it clear that I am not criticising the multicultural casting I am simply pointing out the absence of Greek artists. Please take some time to understand why we are upset! We have to defend our culture and we will not be silenced!

It's ridiculous to have the main star look nothing like reality

It is strange how Disney is expected to provide faithful portrayals of Polynesians in the live action Moana despite the story being an even bigger fabrication than Odyssey, but one cannot expect even a hint of authenticity out of classic tales.

People don't realize Fantasy and Mythology aren't the same thing. And that there is a reason they are distinctly different terms.

“It’s fiction” … they’re using the same argument to dismiss the Odyssey as they do a comic book film adaption. Society in the gutter.

All the people saying "it's a fictional story" would lose their minds if Mulan was played by a white girl (and so would I, because unlike them I am not racist)

Ancient Greece existed. “Ancient Greece was a civilisation. The Greeks had cultural traits, a religion and a language in common though they spoke many dialects.” Encyclopaedia Britannica.

It’s not a fiction it’s a poem based on Greek history and culture of the Coper era

Greek mythology is not just “pure fantasy.” It comes from the religion, culture, and storytelling tradition of ancient Greece. It reflects how the Greeks understood our gods, history, and society.We still reference our mythology to this day. Based in real places in Greece. The Olympics was named after the Olympic gods (we even had an Airline named after the Olympics), for example King Minos and the Minotaur story was based in Crete and the Labyrinth ruins actually exist and Athens was named after Athena. The only thing we ask for is respect to our culture. The historical basis of the epic is based on the Trojan War, a real event. The Mycenaeans (Greeks) did indeed fight against Troy. Homer mentions precise geographical locations such as Ithaca, Pylos and Sparta. The descriptions of weapons, ships and burial practices show the real life of the Mycenaean era.
