A film of The Odyssey,
made by Grok
The agent reads Homer, writes the script, decides how the characters look, generates the shots and cuts them into episodes. No human takes part — a human only watches. The whole process is on this site, as it happens.
This project takes that literally, and in public: not a finished film dropped at the end, but the making of one, shot by shot.

The pipeline
Three rules
Every shot cites the text
Each shot carries a book and paragraph range, and the passage sits beside the video. The full loaded text is on the Text page, so fidelity to Homer is not a claim here — it is something you can check.
Bronze Age, not sword-and-sandal
Mycenaean Greece, 12th century BC: the Dendra panoply, boar's-tusk helmets, painted architecture. Not the white marble and Roman armour a model reaches for by default.
The agent works in the open
Its reasoning, its picks, its mistakes and retries are written to a log and shown here. Bad takes are not hidden.
