We, the undersigned, Hellenes, Philhellenes, and all people concerned with the value and due respect to Hellenic culture and to all Western culture and civilization, declare that the disrespectful and insulting cultural appropriation and implicitly parodic defacement that Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" constitutes, must be frontally and formally rejected. 

1)  The Greek government decided to spend 6,5 Million Euros to finance a work that blatantly distorts and implicitly mocks the original worth and transcendence of one of the greatest masterpieces of Greek and universal poetic literature, culture, axiology, spirituality, and civilization, and it owes a formal explanation to the Hellenic people and to the whole international community about the reasons that made it take such decision. 

An internal investigation should be initiated IF any anomaly could be suspected to have happened during that process, since that a national government could decide to use public funds to finance a foreign millionaire film director and a foreign billionaire commercial movie company seems to be at least questionable, specially in the case of the production of a work that is openly disrespectful to the people that the government represents. 

2)  IF Christopher Nolan or his representatives deceived the Greek government in any way, obtaining such financing by providing false or misguiding information about the film, he and his production company should be sued for the largest possible amount of money, as the Greek government must defend its reputation and, above all, demand respect to Greece and its invaluable and incomparable culture. 

3)  Since the film is expected to have a revenue from 650 to 900 million U.S. dollars as a minimum, a sue of at least that amount should be initiated, as all that profit would be obtained at the expense of a national and ethnic due respect, which should not ever be negotiable. 

A sum of 1 Billion U.S. dollars could be an adequate point of departure, given the transcence and seriousness of all that it is involved in this so extremely condemnable affair. 

4)  We propose that such capital should be used to completely finance the development of a new Greek film of The Odyssey, created by the greatest possible contemporary Greek film Director, and giving all correct preferences to Greek actors, actresses, photographers, designers and musicians, with the mission of creating the most important poetic cinematographic adaptation of Homer's incomparable masterpiece, creating with it an affirming testimony and enrapturing homage to the majesty and grandeur that Hellas has been and keeps on being. 

The remaining capital should be used to finance full student scholarships, and the most intense promotion and support of population growth of the Greek people, affected by decades of virtually unbearable administrative and economical problems. 

3)  The Greek government must express its firmest condemnation of this cynical act of cultural appropriation, this 'convenient' ethnic erasure of abhorrent levels, and this cultural distortion that is, above all, an unacceptable mockery and a blatant abuse of gigantic aberrant proportions. 

It is the OBLIGATION of the Greek government to DEFEND, in the clearest and most forceful manner, the RESPECT due to the cultural heritage of Hellas, and indeed, that of the entire Western civilization that originated from Her. 

Now more than ever, the Greek government have the historical DUTY to make it clear that Hellas is NOT to be trifled with, and that Her national and ethnic treasures are not to be savagely pillaged and distorted with impunity by anybody. 

Too many acts of anti-Hellenic cultural vandalism have been perpetrated for millennia, and they keep on being committed, so it is time to clearly state that enough is enough. 

4)  This deserves all axiological and ethical condemnation because it is an act of cultural high treason against Hellas, and culture is a nation greatest human treasure as it constitutes its essence. 

To let a nation to be publicly disrespected and even hiddenly and hypocritically mocked, it is to open a potential door to its future assimilation or elimination, as nobody would care about a people that has turned irrelevant or invisible. 

This has happened, and even keeps on happening to other peoples, and it must NEVER happen to Hellas as it has been the Light of the World, and that She continues on being it. 

This is way more serious that the umpteenth case of "woke" disrespect, cultural appropriation and robbery.  This is at the bottom, nothing but the most outdated postmodernist travesty cliche, and the lamest and worst obsolete cultural Marxism, with the corresponding ideological subversion, perverse attempts to establish a poisonous social engineering normalization, and all inferiority complexes that this always involves.

It is at the end an intentional evil act of anti-Hellenic racism and plainly hateful ethnical and cultural abuse that deserves the strongest possible public condemnation. 

This pseudo-intellectual pretentious felony must make us all remember that it is Hellenic philosophy that teaches us that Truth is the correct and total correspondence between thought and reality, Goodness is the due accordance between what is done and what is due, and Beauty is the fulfillment of what corresponds to the greatest possible essential harmony of being, and as Plato clearly expresses, "The Splendor of Truth". Therefore, there can be no beauty where the most abject and hideous ugliness prevails, built on the most insulting and deforming lies.

Christopher Nolan though that he was so 'clever' as to dare to listen to the Syrens' chant, not while striving to return to Ithaca, but through embarking himself and all the people that careless and selfishly followed him in the most cynical ego trip into the somber sea of his confused mind, without asking them first to put beeswax on their ears and tie him to the mastil of his multimillionaire absurdly misplaced ruinous Viking longship.   

He arrogantly chose to attempt to appropriate and deform something that never could have belonged to him, and which he should have approached with nothing less that reverence, committing an absolute detestable and abominable act of hubris.  

Now he should see what happens after the Syrens invade his delusional echo chamber, and what are the consequences to dare to disrespect the majestic long-sighted clairvoyance and the Winged Words of the Immortal Homer.
