Praise the Gods! Greek PM thanks Nolan for the 'The Odyssey' spotlight

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis praised filmmaker Christopher Nolan for his film 'The Odyssey,' highlighting its role in boosting global interest in ancient Greek civilization. The film, starring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway, has achieved significant box office success and sparked widespread discussion. While Spotify reports increased audiobook engagement, particularly among younger audiences, some critics, including Elon Musk, have criticized the film for allegedly desecrating the story. In Greece, there has been debate over the lack of local actors in the film, though Mitsotakis acknowledged the economic benefits of filming in regions like Messenia and Corinth. The film's portrayal of classical mythology continues to generate both admiration and controversy.
