11 hours ago|

By Chris Hewitt Verified |Today’s News-Herald Verified

For a guy who’s been dead more than 2,000 years, Homer is suddenly very, very hot. The ancient Greek poet is credited as the author of “The Odyssey,” a movie version of which is soon to be playing on just about every movie screen in the country and stars just about every big-name actor in Hollywood. Screenings begin Thursday and if you don’t see it over the weekend, you’re going to be behind. kAmw@H 5:5 2 46?EFC:6D\@=5 >JE9 E92E 2=C625J 92D 366? E96 :?DA:C2E:@?

Henry and Edgar Allan Poe, and absolutely nothing like his new “Country People.” His latest is built for pleasure.
