More than three millennia have passed since the works attributed to Homer emerged, yet no subsequent era, including our own, has knocked them from their pedestal. They are undoubtedly part of those timeless cultural monuments whose aura remains inexhaustible and whose power of fascination remains intact. The place the Odyssey occupies in recent news, through Christopher Nolan's latest film, is further proof of this force. Perhaps it is because this breathless epic still possesses that breath which inspires respect and allows it to speak to all generations. Christopher Nolan thus offers us, despite controversies surrounding wokism, another opportunity to savor Ulysses' journey. Cinema becomes the medium, the channel through which great lessons about life and the human condition can flow. The ten-year return journey to Ithaca, repeatedly thwarted after the ten years of the Trojan War, will speak to us once more. But unlike before, it now benefits from the power of buzz. This film currently flooding social media will offer those under twenty, as well as the older generation, knowledge of this Homeric narrative and its inexhaustible potential as a source of existential reflection. To admire Ulysses is to witness the deployment of his intelligence, the same intelligence that earlier imagined the formidable stratagem of the Trojan Horse. Watching Nolan's film will be a true contemplation of the manifestation of this intelligence, or metis, which takes precedence over brute force. Seeing Ulysses use his reason to adapt to different situations can speak to us as much as reading Aristotle's texts on phronesis, that capacity to find the right action at the opportune moment. Penelope's faithfulness is also a model of heroism that time has never been able to erase. "Do not shorten your voyage: / better that it lasts many long years, / and that you finally reach your island in your old age, / rich with all you have gained along the way, / without waiting for Ithaca to enrich you," wrote Greek poet Constantine Cavafy. These verses highlight the invaluable worth of the journey, reminding us that the path often matters more than the destination itself. Living the odyssey, whether it is the voyage to Ithaca or the path strewn with experiences of our own lives, constitutes our true source of wealth.
