Why Homer's Odyssey Still Resonates

Did a short interview for Campus Insights Media on "Why Homer's Odyssey Still Resonates Nearly 3,000 Years Later."

"Nearly 3,000 Years Later Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey has renewed interest in one of the world's most enduring stories. Richard Utz, professor and senior associate dean in Georgia Tech's Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, explains why Homer's epic poem is considered difficult to adapt for film, how modern audiences can connect with its themes, and why the story has remained influential for centuries. From ancient Greece and Rome to James Joyce, Margaret Atwood, and modern pop culture, Utz explores the lasting appeal of Odysseus' journey and its influence on the way humans tell stories." Thanks to the great folks at Ivan Allen College Communications for recording the interview.
