How accurate is Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey to Homer’s original epic?

Dr. Sarah Brown Ferrario, Associate Professor of Greek and Latin and Chair of the Department of Ancient and Medieval Languages and Cultures at The Catholic University of America, reacts to The Odyssey trailer and examines what the film appears to get right, what may have been changed, and what Homer’s poem actually tells us about Odysseus and his journey.

From costumes, armor, and ancient warfare to characters, mythology, and the world of Homeric Greece, Dr. Ferrario breaks down the historical and literary details behind Christopher Nolan’s adaptation.
