Greek Professor of Political Philosophy Vana Nikolaidou-Kyrianidou critiques contemporary, identity-driven adaptations of Homeric epics as "anachronistic," arguing that such interpretations superimpose modern neo-feminist or ideological narratives onto ancient works, thereby stripping the foundational texts of their vital historical, philosophical, and cultural context.

Elon Musk was added to the many people who have “attacked” director Christopher Nolan over his casting choices in the cinematic adaptation of Homer’s “Odyssey”.

A clay tablet inscribed with 13 verses of Homer's "Odyssey" found at Ancient Olympia in July made the list of the Top 10 Discoveries of 2018 of the current issue of Archaeology, the magazine of the Archaeological Institute of America.
According to preliminary assessments, the tablet belongs to the Roman era, possibly earlier than the 3rd century AD, and was found with other Roman-era remains near the Sanctuary of Ancient Olympia during a surface survey.
