Christopher Nolan Relied on a 2017 Translation of Homer's Odyssey as the Sole Source for his Upcoming Film

Christopher Nolan chose Emily Wilson's 2017 translation of Homer's Odyssey as the sole source for his upcoming film, a version critics called radical for stripping away traditional embellishments in favor of modern language, including words like "daddy," "playtime is over," "canapés," "pep talk," and "tote bag."

Wilson told The New Yorker in 2023 that Homer "didn't sound archaic to the Greeks."

Is Nolan's Odyssey already doomed by its source material, or is a modern translation exactly what the story needs on the big screen?
