TELL US: HAS CHRISTOPHER NOLAN’S THE ODYSSEY STOKED YOUR INTEREST IN CLASSICS AND POETRY?

The Guardian’s Culture section has launched a public appeal, asking readers who watched Christopher Nolan’s film adaptation of Homer’s *The Odyssey* to share how the movie has sparked or deepened their interest in poetry or classics. The call comes as UK poetry sales are projected to hit a record high this year, with the blockbuster credited as a driving factor.

According to the article, the Guardian invites anyone whose enthusiasm for Homer's epic or for poetry in general has grown after seeing the film to submit their personal experiences. While the piece highlights the sales boost, it does not provide specific figures or quotations from the film’s creators. The piece is framed as a reader‑response feature, encouraging a range of perspectives from casual viewers to scholars of classical literature.

Nolan’s *The Odyssey* is an example of how contemporary cinema can revitalize interest in ancient texts, a phenomenon that can translate into tangible sales for modern publishers of poetry and classical works.
