La 'Odisea' de Nolan genera debate y aumenta ventas de Homero

La clásica traductora Emily Wilson calificó la película de Christopher Nolan "La Odisea" como superficial y carente de profundidad, criticando el desarrollo de los personajes, aunque reconoció que ha reavivado el interés por el poema antiguo, según Yahoo. La adaptación, rodada íntegramente en formato IMAX 70 mm, se estrenó en cines y recibió reacciones mixtas de académicos y público. Generó polémica por decisiones de casting, como Lupita Nyong'o como Helena, y por el uso de acentos estadounidenses contemporáneos; Nolan desestimó la crítica inicial como irrelevante.

El actor Tom Cruise elogió la película tras una proyección anticipada. El estreno provocó un notable aumento en las ventas de libros impresos y en la escucha de audiolibros de la "Odisea" de Homero en Estados Unidos y Reino Unido, informó la BBC, y elevó la visibilidad de traducciones modernas, con la versión de Emily Wilson de 2017 superando el millón de copias, según Inquirer. Educadores griegos subrayaron la larga tradición de reinterpretación del épico, y Variety señaló que la película revitalizó el género espada y sandalia.
