In case people are wondering which Homer I'm referring to. I'm not, you know. So there's a Not the Odyssey.

How do you compete with the imagination of people who have read and studied The Odyssey? I mean, it's like you're competing with the idea of The Odyssey in a way.

It's probably the most famous story ever told. I watched it and it's been swirling around in my head, obviously, because of what it represents. But I'm thinking about it as this meditation on aging.

The Odyssey is a long trip.

Talk about the odyssey, man.

Go see The Odyssey. I mean, The Odyssey doesn't need me to pump it. Everyone in the world is going to go see it.

And one of them is Homer who wrote The Iliad and The Odyssey.

Thursday, The Odyssey is coming out. Are you into The Odyssey?

I think it's a great story, a great cast, a great director. These are the hallmarks of something that's going to be a great movie.

I'm excited for the Odyssey though, Zaz.

Oh, don't even get me started yet on the Odyssey. I'm seeing the Odyssey next week. Obviously, I'm seeing it opening night. I always see a movie on opening night.

And he's the one who ends the war. Not Ajax, not Agamemnon, not Achilles. They all fail. He wins with his brain. And it's as if the Greeks, or Homer, are saying that, are saying that this civilization, the only figure that we should really reverence in the end is Odysseus.
