Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey isn’t just an IMAX spectacle, It’s a three thousand year old story that somehow explains Gaza, Iraq, and Afghanistan without ever naming them. In this episode of OnePath Unfiltered, we break down what Homer’s epic actually teaches about war, homecoming, and the language societies use to justify violence.
