THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Sumantra Maitra) - Misunderstanding the Odyssey
Nolan’s Odyssey is neither Homer’s material nor a modern morality play. The post Misunderstanding the Odyssey appeared first on The American Conservative .
Culture Misunderstanding the Odyssey Nolan’s Odyssey is neither Homer’s material nor a modern morality play. No character study of Odysseus comes closer to perfection than Tennyson’s: And tho’ We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. The Ulysses of Tennyson—and for that matter, of Alexander Pope—is a cunning and amoral man in rebellion against fate and time. Cleverest and wittiest of all heroes, he surpasses even the Olympians in arrogance and ego, and in consequence is disfavored and punished by them all (excepting only gray-eyed…Open

The empire he destroyed was his own. Today’s oracles are far less discerning. When pastors gathered in the Oval Office this past March to lay hands on the president and pray for war, not one paused to warn him of the cost. Yet this modern hubris was not born in a vacuum. The crisis was a decade in the making.…Open

Politics The Fight Inside Trump’s State Department Is About Power—Not Expertise The president needs diplomats willing to advance his America First agenda. Photo by STR/NurPhoto via Getty Images At last count, President Donald Trump had named only nine career Foreign Service officers (FSOs) as ambassadors. Six had been confirmed, while three remained waiting for Senate confirmation. That strikingly small number has predictably put the Foreign Service establishment inside the State Department on the warpath. Under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the breakdown was roughly 70 percent career diplomats to 30 percent political appointees. Under Joe Biden, it was about 60–40. Even during the first Trump administration, the split…Open
