@morninggloria She was the daughter of Zeus (disguised as a swan) and the Spartan Queen Leda. After hatching from an egg…….

Helen of Troy was the daughter of Zeus and a swan. Is there a historically accurate color for a swan-god baby?
Taya Bass@travelingflying
Imagine the outrage if a historically non-White character like Pocahontas were made White in a movie. Yet it’s considered acceptable to make all historically White characters non-White in movies. This is racism against White people.

@nick_lindquist Oh dear Nick, there’s a huge problem here. The roof should be festoned woth solar panels and coild be improved with the addition of wind turbines at each corner. Need that power.

@thescottbarber Zeus never played Helen of Troy dressed as a swan. The actress born from an egg bit, I can get behind.

Achilles is not bisexual. There is no textual evidence he is attracted to women.
Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs)@agraybee
The Iliad does have a trad hero in Hector, the warrior-patriot-family man. But the right has gone all in on Achilles, a bisexual with histrionic personality disorder.

@JamesCleverly It has sunk in. Now explain why you think it is a problem. This is a council office, its buisness is with the likes of bins and pot holes. Its focus should be the local community.

One of the first decisions made by Essex Reform was to remove the Ukrainian flag from County Council HQ.
Let that sink in.

@NeilJ94163976 @saint_witch_ West side story is a transposition of Romeo and Juliet, it takes hyper specific themes (love, tribalism, youth, fueds) and localizes it.
The odyssey is a foundational myth based on a civilization.
Same reason why you wouldn’t cast a blonde girl in Moana. It steals identity

@NeilJ94163976 @MN_Vikings_Pete @saint_witch_ Ptolemy was a redhead. The gene stayed in the family. Cleopatra VII, 300 years later, redhead
Alexander's father Philip had two generals named Kleitos. One was Kleitos the Red, 1 guess why

@FBI_Table43 @saint_witch_ Alfred, calm down. I agree with you. But the consequences ought to be not going to see the film, not hordes of AI and memes in a pile on. Some of the stuff is just nasty.

@NeilJ94163976 @saint_witch_ It's not an original work moron, its taking massive liberties with someone else's original work. He didn't write the Odyssey.
The cast is also complicit, aware of, and happy with the aspect of making it woke. So they should share the blame and face the consequences.

@CultureExploreX The key is the last sentence. You must work hard to have equal opportunity for everyone. This is not achieved by ensuring equal outcomes for everyone, because you then remove any opportunity to strive for.
English

The flaw in this argument is that it treats wealth creators as if they create wealth alone.
No billionaire builds a company without workers and a society stable enough for business to function.
A society can create enormous wealth while millions of workers remain unable to afford rent, healthcare, childcare, or education.
The existence of billionaires proves that wealth exists.
It does not prove that the system distributes opportunity fairly.

@MN_Vikings_Pete @saint_witch_ Helen was a freckled lass with fiery red hair who was a lovely lady and could also drink you under the table and back you up in a bar fight.
English

@saint_witch_ An Ancient Greek could understand someone having African heritage.
But their minds are going to explode when you explain about what and where Ireland is.
English

@TheAliceSmith I thought it was boring. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion I guess. What I would say is that at least Christopher Nolan is trying to make original films. Sadly, a bit like M Night Shyamalan, all his films aren’t masterpieces.
English

Extremist Lucy Connolly has deleted a post calling Keir Starmer a “child rapist”
Not that he covered up for a child rapist or defended a child rapist
But that HE is a child rapist. With zero evidence.
I suspect she may be in breach of her bail conditions

@ZackPolanski Aside from nationalising water - a monopoly, which is effectively what it is in each area - is not a good candidate for privatisation, the rest of this is ill thought out. What do you mean by taxing wealth? I don’t think you know.
