Why this matters in The El Paso
El Paso 's own community of educators and classicists are likely to be among those capitalizing on the expected surge in interest in classical studies sparked by Christopher Nolan's adaptation of "La Odisea". Local schools and universities may see a renewed enthusiasm for courses in Latin, Greek, and classical history, as students become inspired by the epic tale of Odysseus' journey. The El Paso area is home to a diverse population with a rich cultural heritage, and the story of "La Odisea" may resonate particularly strongly with students who are eager to explore the roots of Western literature and culture. As the film's release approaches, local educators and museum professionals would do well to prepare their own events and programming to capitalize on the expected wave of interest, and to provide El Paso students with a deeper understanding of the ancient world and its enduring legacy.
