We, the undersigned Hellenes, Philhellenes, and all people concerned with the value of and due respect for Hellenic culture, and for 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 provide financial support to 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.  It owes a formal explanation to the Hellenic people and to the entire international community about the reasons that led it to make such a decision, and, in the corresponding case, an official apology. 

An internal investigation should be initiated IF any anomaly is suspected to have occurred during that process.  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, at the very least, questionable—especially 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 misleading 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 for Greece and its invaluable and incomparable culture. 

3.  Since the film is expected to generate an initial revenue of 650 to 900 million U.S. dollars at a minimum, a lawsuit of at least that amount should be initiated, as any final profit would be obtained at the expense of national and ethnic respect, which should never be negotiable. 

A sum of 1 billion U.S. dollars could be an adequate point of departure, given the transcendence and seriousness of everything involved in this extremely condemnable affair, and taking into account the immense economic capacity of the producing company, blatantly used to disrespect not only the Hellenic nation, but the whole of European and Western culture. 

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 full preference to Greek actors, actresses, cinematographers, 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 continues to be. 

The remaining capital should be used to finance full student scholarships, as well as the most intense promotion and support of population growth for the Greek people, who have been affected by decades of virtually unbearable administrative and economic problems. 

4.  The Greek government must express its firmest condemnation of this cynical act of cultural appropriation, this 'convenient' virtual 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 has 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 continue to be committed, so it is time to clearly state that enough is enough. 

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

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

This has happened, and even continues to happen to other peoples, and it must NEVER happen to Hellas, as she has been the Light of the World, and she must continue to be so. 

This is way more serious than the umpteenth case of 'woke' disrespect, cultural appropriation, and robbery. 

This is, at its core, nothing but the most outdated postmodernist travesty cliché, and the lamest and worst obsolete cultural Marxism, with the corresponding ideological subversion, perverse attempts to establish a poisonous social engineering normalization, and all the inferiority complexes that this always involves. 

It is, in the end, an intentional, evil act of anti-Hellenic, anti-European, and anti-White racism, and plainly hateful ethnic and cultural abuse that deserves the strongest possible public condemnation. 

This pseudo-intellectual, pretentious felony must remind us all 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 thought that he was so 'clever' as to dare to listen to the Sirens' chant, not while striving to return to Ithaca, but by embarking himself and all the people who carelessly and selfishly followed him on the most cynical ego trip into the somber sea of his confused mind—without asking them first to put beeswax in their ears and tie him to the mast of his multimillion-dollar, absurdly misplaced, ruinous Viking longship. 

He arrogantly chose to attempt to appropriate and deform something that could never have belonged to him personally—because he is just a blatant traitor to Western culture—and which he should have approached with nothing less than reverence, committing an absolutely detestable and abominable act of hubris, which, in the Hellenic cosmovision, is the source of the greatest evils. 

This is not only a Hellenic or 'nationalistic' issue, but one that must concern the whole of Western culture, since essentially, attacking a civilization's foundations has no other objective but to attempt to demolish its entire structure, even if it is done in such a hypocritical and 'convenient' manner. 

No valuable culture, ethnicity, or nation on Earth deserves this kind of disrespect and abuse, as every one of them deserves all due respect and care, each one of them being irreplaceable; and obviously, this does not exclude the Hellenic, 
European, and White people at all. 

This ordinary, glorified, and self-deluded film director is oblivious to the fact that, as the Hellenes know, the Goddess Nemesis persecutes any act of hubris, and that Justice is protected, in the Hellenic view, by two Goddesses:  Themis, wife of Zeus himself, and also by their daughter Dike. 

This merchant has dared to disrespect not only the divine Demigoddess that Helen of Sparta is—being also a daughter of Zeus—sung by the incomparable poets Homer and Sappho, and also by a plethora of inspired bards from Euripides to Elytis, but even more, the Goddess Pallas Athena herself, to whom the entire Western civilization owes its existence as such. For without her protected City we would not have our highest values, the Persians would not have been finally defeated at Marathon, Salamis, and Plataea after the Greeks had heroically resisted them at Thermopylae, and we personally would not even be here now, debating at this virtual agora. 

Now this 'complicated', egotistic and inflated little man must see what happens after the Sirens invade his delusional echo chamber, and what the rock-crashing consequences are of daring to disrespect the majestic, long-sighted clairvoyance and the Winged Words of the Immortal Homer.
