When most people hear the name Heisenberg, they think of uncertainty, quantum mechanics, and one of the twentieth century's greatest physicists.

Few realize that before Werner Heisenberg revolutionized our understanding of nature, he grew up in a household devoted to an entirely different pursuit: preserving ancient knowledge.

His father, August Heisenberg (1869–1930), was one of Germany's foremost Byzantine philologists.

At first glance, that seems worlds away from quantum physics. But it raises an intriguing question:

What exactly is Byzantine philology, and what does it have to do with Homer's The Odyssey—or even Christopher Nolan's upcoming film adaptation?

The answer is: quite a lot.
