This week on *History Hyenas*, the boys dive into Homer’s *Odyssey* — the legendary journey of Odysseus, Greek mythology, monsters, gods, and why this ancient story still shapes modern movies today.

Yannis and Chris break down Christopher Nolan’s upcoming *The Odyssey*, the internet reaction to the casting choices, and why every big Hollywood adaptation turns into a culture war before filming even ends. Plus: Cyclopses, sirens, Greek masculinity, and whether Odysseus was the original Hyena.
