Grab some cinematic snacks because in this bonus episode, we’re talking about one of the Summer’s biggest blockbusters: The Odyssey ⛵️ Back in the Greek Lore era of Synergy to Synastry Season 3, we hadn't followed the thread of Penelope’s shroud nor the many stories in Homer’s famous epic. Hear about Renee’s IMAX experience, thoughts on the film, and in-depth character analysis of Athena, Odysseus, Circe, Antinous, and Helen. She discusses reviews of the adaptation (including from translator Emily Wilson!), provides her own feminist analysis, extracts the major themes, and breaks down the ending. 🚨 This episode contains spoilers of both the poem and film starting at 8:01min, if you’d like to avoid them for now. After you’ve read The Odyssey and/or immersed yourself in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation, make sure to come back for the complete listen-through!
