Staroveké Grécko bolo biele, tvrdia internety

Christopher Nolan mal zrušiť premiéru Odysey! Absolventky a absolventi detašovaných pracovísk Vysokej školy života Elona Muska totiž úmorne študovali mykénske obdobie Grécka a Homérove daktylské hexametre. Poďme sa teda pozrieť na ich „argumenty“.
Helenu nemôže hrať černoška (Lupita Nyong’o), lebo slepý Homér ju opisuje ako bieloramennú.

Nolan však nenakrúca ani dokument, ani historický film
