• ... that the television series The Owl's Legacy was modeled after the ancient Greek symposium? Source: "Marker’s model is the symposium, which, in ancient Greece, was a banquet in which wine was served to ease the flow of ideas." (The New York Times)
  • ALT1: ... that the television series The Owl's Legacy was stopped for several years because of a dispute over the relationship between modern and ancient Greece? Source: "Pourquoi ce film, électrisant d'intelligence, a-t-il mis autant de temps à nous parvenir ? Parce que George Steiner avait par une autre de ses saillies heurté la sensibilité de la fondation Onassis, qui avait financé le film. La Grèce moderne est un petit pays qui n'a rien à voir avec la Grèce antique, avait-il lancé comme un énorme rocher dans la mer Égée..." [Why did this electrifyingly intelligent film take so long to reach us?

QPQ: Done.

Overall: I feel French cinema and television is one of the topics poorly covered on the English Wikipedia so thanks for the article. I verified both hooks; I personally think Alt1 is perhaps a little more intriguing to average readers. However I suggest rewording "stopped for several years" to "blocked from distribution for years" -- as the latter is more precise. BorgQueen (talk) 12:09, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
