You've seen the Odyssey, now embark on a journey of your own accompanied by two leading Cambridge Classicists with @CambPressAssess. Professor Richard Hunter from @TrinityCollegeCambridge1546 and Professor Rebecca Laemmle from @Pembroke1347 both give their take on Christopher Nolan's new film while taking a punt trip down the River Cam. What did the film miss and what did it get right when bringing to life Homer's epic poem? Best viewed via a Virtual Reality (VR) headset but can be enjoyed as a podcast listen too. If viewing as a normal video you can move the camera around yourself.
