The Women of the Odyssey

Homer's Odyssey is populated by a vast cast of women - goddesses, monsters, royalty, slaves, wives, and shades. Christopher Nolan's new film adaptation reduces this diverse group to a select few, and dramatically transforms those who remain. Join Dr Elena Theodorakopoulos (Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of Birmingham) to find out what we lose, and what we might learn, when we return to Homer's text.
