42 years ago, Miyazaki gave The Odyssey's overlooked princess her own epic adventure
With Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" now in cinemas, attention has turned to Hayao Miyazaki's animated take on the same Greek epic from 42 years ago, which placed one of the story's overlooked female characters at the centre. Homer's epic has inspired countless filmmakers, writers and artists over the centuries, and Nolan is simply the latest to attempt an adaptation. The piece highlights how the story has remained emotionally resonant across shifts in culture, language and medium.
