Amazing. I love all the Greek stuff, but the Odyssey is in a class of it’s own.
Wily Odysseus, faithful Penelope, monsters, trips to the Underworld. Truly the best of the Classics.
Thanks as always for the great posts!
(and of course, those Sirens...Tim Buckley had something to say about that!)

I’m a big John Hartford fan from way back.

I enrolled in an adult poetry class in 2000. We were told Homer and Shelley were not worthy of study, but Shakur was.
I dropped after one session.

In the last ten or so years, digital photography has all but eliminated the commonplace use of film-based cameras, and most of the photos ever taken date from this lovely digital era. Moving pictures of historic events go back to the funeral of Queen Victoria, at least, barely more than a century. The preservation of older source material will only work out due to the use of digital technology and the basically trivial process of its duplication and backup.

Lousy family, addiction and musical talent - quite the trifecta!
Here he is on the ‘Monkees’ with his often covered ‘Song to the Siren’:

PS - Armand Assante is perfectly cast. Miniseries was a good, if zany, interpretation I thought.
Happy Thursday!
