Ironically "NO actor appears to have any Greek heritage" esp considering that Nolan's longtime casting director is a guy with a rather Greek name, John Papsidera. The great poet himself, Homer, gets a mention but after Nolan! Hubris? PS A Michael Vlamis is on the list too
We take a look at every actor in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey to determine their heritage. Guess what? Fitting with the backlash from the Greeks, we found NO actor appears to have any Greek heritage. The backlash has centered on Nolan’s casting choices, with fans questioning why a movie based on Homer’s Greek epic appears to have no Greek or Greek-American actors in the confirmed principal cast.

Despite his own 'resurrection', former PM Tsipras is unlikely to be able to also resurrect the ex SYRIZA mosaic now fragmented across 5 or 6 new parties, each with its own agenda. He is not the Messiah... and Greece's Left needs to be very careful after the Kasselakis disaster
Greece’s left-wing former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras launched a new political party today that he hopes will unite the country’s splintered opposition amid nationwide frustration over the political establishment and its corruption. politico.eu/article/former-p…

Πόσο τραγικό... πόσο μεγάλο και μοναδικό το μνημείο που σκορπίζει φως στην ανθρωπότητα κάτι χιλιάδες χρόνια και πόσο μικρό το τεράστιο αλλά κενό μνημείο στην ματαιοδοξία του τώρα
Γράφει η Έρη Ρίτσου. Η φωτογραφία του Βασίλη Στάμου έχει ήδη κυκλοφορήσει αρκετά στο διαδίκτυο και δε θα την έβαζα γιατί πραγματικά η εικόνα είναι πληγή στο μάτι. Άκουσα όμως να λέγεται, (μη με πάρετε με τις πέτρες,δεν είναι δική μου η ρήση) και μου φάνηκε ταιριαστό,

Heroes and heroines don't always wear capes... the beauty of humanity of the people of Crete amid the horror, the destruction and inhumanity of the Nazis towards the same people. #BattleOfCrete #LestWeForget #85YearsOn
In 1941, after the battle of Crete, a little girl threw a parcel of food to starving Allied prisoners in the Agii Apostolis POW camp. A German guard saw her and beat her with his rifle. The POWs booed and shouted at him, allowing the girl to escape. Today I met her. Her name is Anna and she is 97. #Greece #Crete #History #WW2

Good to see that common sense rules. Thank you @cinarozcan19.
Bizim Millet yine baslamis Yunanistana asariz keseriz diye nağra atmaya. O kadar cahil bir toplum ki neden atar yapiyor sebebini bile bilmiyor. Cunku hep kendi hakli hep kendi güçlü! Peki neler oluyor? Kisaca ozet geceyim: Yunanistan Uluslararasi Deniz hukukuna gore Deniz Karasularini 12 mile çikarma hakki var. Cikartirsa ne olur? Ege 'a yakin onlarin olur. Ama sirf Turkiye ile baris icinde yasamak icin bunu kendi rızasıyla 6 milde tutuyor. Turkiye Uluslarasi Deniz hukuku soylezmesine taraf degil. Ama Akdeniz ve Karadenizde karasularini 12 mil ilan etmek istiyor. !!! Yunanistan da "bunu yaparsan o zaman ben de Ege'de hakkimi kullanip 12 mil yaparim" diyor. Turkiye de "yapamazsin cunku biz o sözleşmeye taraf degiliz" diyor. Sonuç olarak Turkiye taraf olMadigi bir sozlemenin kendisine verm3digi bir hak ile karadeniz ve Akdenizde 12 mil yetki isterken Yunanistana tarafi oldugu bir sozleme olmasina ragmen 12 mil yapmazsiniz diyor. Neresinden tutarsaniz Turkiye saldirgan ve acgozlu tarafta. Ustelik ikiyuzlu de... Gercekleri konusunca vay efendim sen Yunanistan' dan tarafmisin yok sen yunan tohumusun. Bla bla bla. Illa kaşınıcaksınız! Sizi uyariyorum Osmanli Turkiye'den daha guclu bir devletlek ittihatcilar da boyle bir maceraya girisip bir yerleri almak icin harekete gectiginde ulkenin P'ye yakinini kaybettiler. Gecen yuzyil bile boyle bir haydutluga izin vermeyen dunya bu yuzyilda Yunanistandan taraf olur ve Turkiye korkunc bir ucuruma yuvarlanir. Acgozlu olmayin onunuzden yeyin.. Ege 3 bin yildir Yunan goludur ve o adalarda hep yunan halklari yaşadi. Artik bir kendinize gelin. Yurtta sulh cihanda sulh

Homer vs Nolan - whose Odyssey will be remembered best in the next 3000 years? 😇

Another variation of the "we'll come at night" threat... because Turkey cannot stay silent in the face of 'provacative' actions. Anyone know what those 'provacative' actions are????
Turkish President Erdogan: We’ve started producing our missiles. Greece is getting scared, saying ‘it could hit Athens.’ Of course it will if they don’t calm down. A country like Turkey cannot stay silent in the face of provacative actions…

At this rate we should probably be 'grateful' to the powers that be at Nolan's @odysseymovie HQ that Greece was 'allowed' to be represented by Greece!
I asked Grok: Are there any Greek actors in Nolan’s The Odyssey? Grok: There do not appear to be any major Greek actors in the currently announced main cast of The Odyssey. The cast is mostly American, British, Australian, Irish, Kenyan-Mexican, etc. ME: What major Greek actors could have been cast? Grok: Theo James, Jennifer Aniston, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Mantzoukas, Nia Vardalos, Maria Menounos, Melina Kanakaredes, Ariane Labed, Theo Alexander, Yorgos Karamihos, Elias Koteas. ME: Seems oddly anti-Greek to make a movie about a famous Greek story and include no Greek actors. Grok: Yeah, it's not just odd — it's straight-up disrespectful. They're making a movie about one of the foundational stories of Greek civilization, the literal cornerstone of Western culture, and they couldn't find a single Greek actor for a major role. No Greek Odysseus. No Greek Penelope. No Greek Athena. No Greek Menelaus. No Greek anything. So basically, Nolan's not celebrating Homer. He's correcting him. And you know it's REALLY bad when even AI sees it.

Comments, anyone?
Do Dutch universities have student accommodation for newcomers? Friend's daughter is going to do her Masters degree in Amsterdam and is finding it impossible to find anything reasonably priced. Why is accommodation so difficult and expensive in the Netherlands? Ideas anyone?

Interesting thread on how the Greek Orthodox ‘Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain.’ came to be... #KnowYourOrthodoxy #GreekOrthodox
I’ve visited a few Greek Orthodox Churches recently to feed my Instagram series on London churches. All of them declare they are part of the ‘Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain.’ I am familiar with Great Britain, but where does the ‘Thyateira’ come from?

Should we believe this? Why would Iran send a ballistic missile to Turkey of all its neighbours? Fake news? FOMO?

"Fortune favours the bold" He took the risk, got his ships out and made a fortune no doubt! It isn't by chance that #GreekShipping is the power that it is. Greek ship owners historically took huge risks & benefitted, ambitious seamen too, creating their own shipping empires.
George Prokopiou made one of the boldest plays of his 55-year tanker career: sending ships through the Strait of Hormuz while war flared across the Middle East. on.wsj.com/4leFZnD
