According to Greek legend, Helen of Troy was the daughter of Zeus. Because of her unparalleled fair-skinned beauty, dozens of Greek kings sought her hand in marriage.

So:

The first image shows Helen in the 2004 film Troy, directed by Wolfgang Petersen. (Superb, and highly recommended.)

And now(!)...

The second image is Helen in the new film The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan. It's not been publicly released yet, but the trailer has become famous for getting over 700,000 dislikes on YouTube, universally lampooned by online critics.

There's a reason more and more people are turning away from streaming services to buy DVD's.

I did LOL at those Odyssey posts!
And the likes vs. dislike count, along with the comments on YouTube of the Odyssey Trailer are showing that this movie release promises to be a full on disaster!

There are also some funny memes of Elliot Page who has the role of a fierce greek soldier who is the cousin of Odysseus.

I read that some Greek people who value their cultural literary heritage and this classic are rather outraged that 0 persons of greek ethnicity were cast at all, and that a Kenyan was chosen to portray Helen of Troy.

They also use 'modern' English (and US accents) in the dialogue. For Homer! All that beautiful lyrical nuance lost. What's next, Shakespeare ghetto style? These people have lost their minds. It's a bloody disgrace. I hope if flops spectacularly.

Well, rapper Travis Scott is in the movie as a bard doing his "poetry" thing...

Every person living in a western nation needs to listen to every word of this

Katherine Berbalsingh went to the University of Oxford and is Headmaster at Michaela Community School in London, UK

She PERFECTLY explains the mass indoctrination into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, and of hating White People

I will write only some of this out because it’s very important, however you should listen to it so you can hear the passion:

“The culture shift comes from what children learn at school and online. Ask any young person what history they learned at school, and they’ll tell you, Hitler. Ask them what else? Slavery. Ask them what else? American civil rights.

In fact, what little they know of history will be all about Black and brown people fighting for equality against the white man, women fighting men for the vote, gay and trans people fighting for various rights. Our young people have been taught that history is simply one long story about various groups struggling under the oppressive dead white man.

— History is taught through an oppressor lens. The triangular slave trade, white men held the power. What about Britain ending the slave trade? More than a quick mention, if at all? Mm, no.

What of the Arab slave trade that lasted 3 times as long as the triangular slave trade? Mm, no.

Okay, so GCSE history in Britain is often taught as migration through time, so the idea that Britain has always been a land of immigrants is embedded in our children’s heads. Most schools would prefer to concentrate learning about the tiny number of Black people who existed in Tudor England over a thorough analysis of England’s break from Rome.

— Not to mention weeks on King Mansa Musa of Mali because he was a Black Muslim. His bearing on British institutions, laws, and faith is nonexistent. And the fact that he is said to have been the richest man in history, thanks in part to his massive slave-owning society, is a detail somehow that teachers rarely ever teach.

But it isn’t just our schools. It’s our general culture too. Take your kids to a museum or an art gallery in any Western country, and you’ll find the same narrative.

As an example, when learning about aviation in London’s Science Museum and the extraordinary feat that is man making massive machines move in the sky, a write-up on the wall explains that women and Black people were historically barred from aviation schools and the military. Similarly, James Watt, the man who invented the steam engine and is considered the founder of the Industrial Revolution, has a write-up on the wall explaining that his early career involved slave trafficking, with a bonus analysis of the whole of Britain’s complicity in the slave trade.

They flatten the entire human story and all of its complexities into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, leaving young people unable to see the world in any other terms.”

We have to end the mass indoctrination

Talking of the manipulation of language, the use of 'me and thee', 'thy and my', 'mine and thine' etc. suggested a closeness of human experience in the rhyme. There's a subtle shift of consciousness when these terms are used, I'm single so I can't perform the experiment but if I was in a couple I would try using the terms with my partner, I think it might enrich a relationship,
