The Odyssey and its DEI cast include a black African woman as the blonde goddess Helen of Troy. Her face launched a thousand ships. Another DEI, Eliot Page, is a petite woman-turned-small man who plays the part of the greatest warrior, Sinon, who did not exist in Homer’s tale. Actor John Leguizamo said he has been fighting for Latino representation in Hollywood.
What’s wrong with Greeks playing Greeks? Why do we need Africans and Hispanics playing Greeks?
Allegedly, 134 people signed onto Rotten Tomatoes and gave it rave reviews. It hasn’t been released yet, so who are these people? Comic Book Movie dot com says it’s Christopher Nolan’s best-reviewed movie.
This has Greek people online very upset. And people who appreciate Homer are not pleased, partly because the Helen of Troy actress is panning Homer.
I’m not pleased. I have a Bachelor’s in English Literature and am very concerned that great literature is being replaced in American classrooms with poorly written woke junk. They are doing it in the movies as well.
Elon Musk panned it because Christopher Nolan “desecrated Homer.”
Elon Musk salms Christopher Nolan ahead of the Odyssey premiere:
“Chris Nolan desecrated Homer and groveled on his knees just to meet the woke rules required to win an Oscar. What a worm.”

This German poster writes:
The Black Helen has spoken.
Lupita Nyong’o accuses Homer of misogyny and whines about too little “screen time” for women in the Odyssey.
Yes, exactly. The man who, nearly 3,000 years ago, created the foundation of all of Western literature is being lectured by a mediocre Hollywood actress.
Absolute stupidity and cultural ignorance squared.
Die schwarze Helena hat gesprochen.
Lupita Nyong’o wirft Homer Frauenfeindlichkeit vor und jammert über zu wenig „Bildschirmzeit“ für Frauen in der Odyssee.
Ja genau. Der Mann, der vor fast 3000 Jahren die Grundlage der gesamten westlichen Literatur geschaffen hat, wird von… pic.twitter.com/LhCnRr3jiA

A Greek woman weighed in:
🇬🇷 As a Greek woman, I cannot stay silent… I owe this to my Ancestors !
❌️ BOYCOTT Nolan’s “The Odyssey” that has completely altered Homer’s epic ❌
Helen of Troy , the most beautiful woman in the world , was described by Homer with golden blonde hair, dazzling white skin… https://t.co/rMWAb2clsS pic.twitter.com/b02yuze3ot

Victor Davis Hanson doesn’t think much of it:
Victor Davis Hanson: ‘The Odyssey’ is disappearing from American education, or at least the version Homer wrote.
And if universities do teach the Greek play, it’s filled with a deliberate effort to make the work anything but what Homer intended. Exhibit A? Lupita Nyong’o as… pic.twitter.com/bSviVOcSGz

A poster named Homer Pavlos says Holywood is a cancer:
“Okay, I’ve come to the conclusion that these people, and especially the racist Christopher Nolan, really do hate us Greeks, and there’s no longer any excuse. In the last month, from the cast playing our Greek ancestors, we’ve heard:
Leguizamo: “fighting for Latino representation”. The hypocrisy from a racist (while not a single Greek is playing in The Odyssey).
Lupita: She wants to ask Homer why he wasn’t a feminist and woke, and she has opinions about the greatest work of the West even though she’s never read it in her life
Christopher Nolan: “I want to change the way and the style in which the heroes speak in Homer’s poem and adapt it to modern contemporary standards.” He thinks this is art, distorting a work while using its name and story to make millions off the back of Greek civilization.
Now tell me.
How would you feel if you were Greek and heard a Colombian complaining about the lack of Latino representation in Hollywood at the exact same time he’s playing a Greek character?
How would you feel if Lupita insulted your culture and one of the greatest figures in your history? How would you feel if Christopher Nolan came to your country, asked for 6 million from the taxpayers’ money to shoot a film, without telling you anything about the cast, the script, or how he would present your culture, and in the end took the money, trashed your culture, and didn’t even honor you during his worldwide promotional tour? How would you feel about this mockery?
Hollywood is a cancer. It has the power to distort history, destroy, and humiliate the image of an entire civilization. It has enormous power to push any agenda onto the sheep. And we can’t do anything about it. We can only awaken the world against the cultural Marxism that is poisoning people’s souls.
They have humiliated our culture and history by promoting a homosexual and African ancient Greece. Well, we didn’t have Black people living with Greeks inside our cities in Ancient Greece, nor was homosexuality an institution; there are no primary sources to support any of these pseudo-scientific theories. We hate anyone who hates us and distorts our history to promote their disgusting anti-Hellenic agenda in service of their ideology.
Shame on those Western university academics who, for all these decades, remained silent or helped in the distortion and humiliation of Greece. You will find us standing in front of you.
