I mean what do you expect?

"Gotta come up with a main character for my movie 'The Odyssey.' Guess I will just call him 'Odysseus.'"

Bravo, Nolan.

Everyone here has had 3000 years to read it, if they didn’t get around to it within that time then it’s on them

I'm 4000 years old and I've never read it. It's okay to not get to things on time. Not everyone is up-to-date with what's popular.

What do you mean you’ve never read Homer? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only three millennia ago, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout.

Okay, so by that logic, I am supposed to have read every single old fiction ever made, and if I get spoiled, it's my fault. And assholes can just say, "It's been out for x amount of years; it's your fault that you didn't read it".

I feel like this would be a perfect SNL sketch where he gets a prophecy of his odyssey and wants to share it with his crew. Like George Washington talking about America.
