The Fear of Black Greeks The reaction to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is a stark reminder that some people would rather see art sacrificed on the altar of ideology than allow it to challenge their prejudices.
Far right pundits have criticized the film for its casting choices, particularly the inclusion of Black and trans actors.
But this backlash is not just about the film; it's about rewriting history and culture in the image of white supremacy. This reaction betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of what art and history represent.
