In this episode of 'Read Me Next', Carina and Pili peel back layers of myth and modern storytelling. You’ll hear them discuss the shift from a cunning, divine-guided Odysseus in the poem to a trauma-ridden, regretful hero in Hollywood. We analyze key scenes like the Cyclops, Sirens, and Calypso, and reveal how the representation of gods and monsters impacts the story’s message. Plus, we tackle questions like: Why does Odysseus reject immortality? What lessons does the Cyclops teach? And does Telemachus grow up or remain a passive boy?
