The Odyssey Is Hidden Inside the Bible

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey hits theaters July 17 — but Homer's epic already shaped the most influential book in history: the Bible. In this documentary, MythVision traces how the Gospel of Mark borrowed from Homer's Odyssey and Iliad, from the Legion demoniac's echo of the Cyclops Polyphemus to the crucifixion's parallels with the death of Hector. We go back even further — to Gilgamesh, the flood tablet George Smith deciphered in 1872, and the ancient storytelling tradition that runs from Mesopotamia through Homer into the New Testament. Drawing on the work of Dennis R. MacDonald and decades of classical scholarship, this is the story millions will watch on IMAX screens without knowing it helped build their religion. Before you see Nolan's Odyssey starring Matt Damon, watch this. ============================ FIND ALL LINKS HERE 👉 https://linktr.ee/mythvision ============================ RECOMMENDED ONLINE COURSES HERE 👉👉 Checkout MVP Courses to find new and upcoming online courses: https://mvp-courses.com/ Sign up for Dr. James Tabor’s Course, “The Quest for the Historical Paul: Apostle or Apostate?” - - https://mythvisionpodcast.com/histori...
