kinda nuts there’s an alternate universe in which i decide to move to nyc after school and work in finance and marry a nice man who also works in finance and relocate to connecticut to have kids and live the new england housewife dream with gingham outfits and hydrangea bouquets and tennis lessons in the summer

The whole theme of Homer’s Odyssey — to me, the greatest story ever written — is homecoming (Gk, “nostos”)

You can not “come home” if you didn’t once leave it.

+ Why do we leave home?
+ Is coming home better than having stayed?
+ What draws us back home?
+ What is home, anyway?

This all awaits…

The Odyssey certainly is very powerful story. As soon as I saw your cast I pulled my copy of the book. Love these differences in the translation. 
I read this book published by Vintage Books.

Has he been cast as that? It'd be a good one

I also think Hugh Jackman at ~45 could work

I can no longer picture Odysseus without it being Russell Crowe
