In January, the New York Times asked President Donald Trump if there were any limits on his global powers. “Yeah,” the president responded, “there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” That was eight months ago, but fortunately Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster adaptation of “The Odyssey” has made ancient Greek literature newly relevant.
