One epic. Two interpretations. Two mediums. Two very different commutes. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey sails into theatres this weekend. It is the latest adaptation of the Homeric tale. Let us know in the comments who did it better: Nolan or Joyce. Only kidding! Enjoy the movie 🍿😎🛥️

This day is important for many reasons, two of which are directly related to Joyce. #OTD in 1849, Joyce's father, John Stanislaus, was born (third photo). In 1931, Joyce got married to Nora Barnacle in London (fourth photo). To all our American friends, have a Happy Fourth of July!
