In this episode of Dialogue Unbound, Caroline Kline talks with literary scholar Michael Austin and filmmaker Daniel Foster Smith about The Odyssey, modern adaptation, and the stories cultures tell about their heroes. From Odysseus’s hubris and moral complexity to Nephi, the killing of Laban, and the mythology surrounding Mormon historical figures, they explore what happens when ancient stories are reshaped to reflect contemporary values—and when complicated people are transformed into uncomplicated heroes.
