It's all Ancient Greek to me

This Bluesky post made me laugh:

a film poster featuring Matt Damon as Odysseus, the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, the title "The Odyssey" written in the Greek alphabet, and its cast including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and others

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.”

Above is the film poster for The Odyssey, which is coming out on *squints at the Roman numerals* 17th July 2026. The title is written in Greek letters but the problem is that the letters aren’t direct replacements for Latin letters so it doesn’t actually mean the same thing.
