But Mr Nolan's film has drawn controversy from classicists and cultural critics due to his casting choices, particularly Lupita Nyong'o, who is of Kenyan descent, as Helen of Troy. Mr Swallow took aim at Elon Musk, who accused Mr Nolan of being an 'anti-White racist' and suggested that he could create a 'historically accurate' Odyssey using his artificial intelligence (AI) platform, Grok. Mr Swallow writes: “At the end of the movie – Odysseus and Penelope [his wife] see their entire Bronze Age Greek civilisation collapsing. If Nolan’s film really is 'woke', this is why – because it’s fundamentally a film about the value of multilateralism produced for an increasingly nationalistic world. Following the Mycenaean collapse Mr Swallow refers to, warfare continued to be a major feature of Greek civilisation.
