ATTRIBUTED DETAILS FROM AVAILABLE COVERAGE:
- Arts + Culture – The Conversatio: Warning: this article contains spoilers for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
- Arts + Culture – The Conversatio: In Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Odysseus (played by Matt Damon) is lost not only at sea, but within his own memories.
- Arts + Culture – The Conversatio: On the island of the nymph Calypso (Charlize Theron), eating lotus flowers offers him relief from the trauma of Troy, allowing him to forget the war, his comrades – and eventually even his wife and son.
- Arts + Culture – The Conversatio: While it’s a point of focus in Nolan’s film, the episode of the so-called “Lotus eaters” is, in the scheme of Homer’s Odyssey, very minor.
- Arts + Culture – The Conversatio: Occupying scarcely more than 20 lines of verse in a poem of over 12,000, the story of the magical, memory-wiping fruit is no more than an unfortunate escapade.
