Summer Review Contest

Review Competition #1: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey is expected to become one of the most widely discussed modern engagements with Homer in recent decades. Epic Threads invites reviews that thoughtfully examine Nolan's interpretation of the Odyssey, its relationship to ancient sources, its engagement with modern scholarship, and its success as both a film and a contemporary retelling of Homer's epic.

Review Competition #2: Jeff Wright's The Full Disclosure Iliad

Jeff Wright's The Full Disclosure Iliad offers a bold and imaginative engagement with the Trojan War tradition with classical material rearranged into one continuous story and the conclusion of each chapter offering deeper insight into the source material. Epic Threads invites reviews that assess Wright's interpretation of Homeric material, his creative decisions, his use of ancient and modern sources, and the effectiveness of his work in bringing the world of the Iliad to contemporary readers.
