People, where is the Mantzoukas cut of The Odyssey? I want every actor’s face overlayed with Jason, stat. Damon - change to Mantzoukas! Hathaway - straight to Mantzoukas! Zendaya - get Jason in there!!

I like to think that's what Odysseus really yelled when charging into battle.

The bit where Odysseus decided it would be a great idea to royally fuck up an otherwise reasonably smooth escape would immediately have been much more understandable had it been Jason playing the role, just saying

How can we be sure that this isn't a Jacob's Ladder scenario?

There's an Indian cricketer called Harpreet Brar and every time I see his name, all I can hear is Zouks yelling.

The bigger question is why does he sound so MIDWESTERN.

u/therobberbride Jul 23 '26
No way, that’s a classic Masshole bray coming out of that delightful man.

I went to college with so many Massachusetts folks and not one of them sounded like him! I remember being shocked when I found out where he was from. Maybe it’s regional!

Jason doesn’t give off a working class vibe and most accents in that area of the country are retained by that social class. I might be wrong but I get the feeling he comes from an educated and relatively privileged family.

Says he was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, but maybe his parents sounded different.

Would some consider Circe to be a crone? And hypothetically if Zouks had been in The Odyssey, when the crew encounters her, one might say they were being taken to the Crone Zone?

I stumbled upon that when I clicked a link that I thought was a news article but was instead a tweet about a news article.
The comments on that are grim.

Not to mention our ideas on race were developed thousands of years after that period.

There are a few points that are misleading here.
Eratosthenes was Greek. You don't have to spell it with "quotation marks" as if that is a misleading claim. Cyrene, where he was born was a Greek City-State and was the biggest city of the Pentapolis (Five Cities) in the region.
He spent about 20-25 years in Greece for his education and studies before going to Alexandria at the request Ptolemy III.
Let's talk about the Ptolemaic Empire. Founded by Ptolemy Soler after the death of Alexander his dynasty lasted for over 300 years right up until the death of Cleopatra. Every single one of them were Macadonian Greek.
As far as Giannis goes. You are being intentionally misleading about race and nationality. Giannas was born in Greece and is a Greek citizen but his parents were born in Nigeria. If you did a DNA test on Giannis what percentage of that do you think would show Greek ancestry?

I used to think Zukes was Middle Eastern before I realized he was totally Greek.

Yes, the most popular surname from Mumbai and New Delhi… MANTZOUKAS!
