the odyssey will never be adapted perfectly! it's too long, it's too dense, it's too long in scope, it's too contradictory. so much happens but also in another way almost nothing happens. the world it portrays is so foreign to us it's difficult to adapt the values and context needed to understand. you're never going to get it all onto a screen it just doesn't fit. and once you accept that it only deepens your appreciation of the original text and allows you to accept each adaptation for its own purposes and limitations

some of y'all just want a book report on a nearly 3,000 year old story and some of us want to see a man's personal interpretation of one of the oldest written stories we still have even if it's flawed

In light of the Odyssey movie coming out this is my formal PSA that Helen of Troy is actually Helen of Sparta, Troy is the city she was stolen and brought to. The entire Trojan war is the Greeks trying to get her back from Troy, because she is from Sparta. I feel like we all collectively forget this.

The bow being plucked in the odyssey was the sound of a period accurate lyre by the way. Exactly like how bards would emphasize beats and motifs and movements in their retelling of myths. If you even care.

Guys, I’m obsessed with the soundtrack. Anyone else???

The Oddessy (2026) having its central theme being that the moment society allows justification of an immoral action that violets civic, moral and ethical law, even if it reaches the outcome needed to achieve a goal- there is no ability for that society to take back that justification- to its future detrament. The symbolism of the Trojan Horse also burning, indicated to Odysseus that while he won the battle, he sacrificed the rest of the world by making it okay to cross a line.

It's incredibly important to me that men in the Odyssey will just break down in tears at a moments notice. Every time anyone mentions Odysseus everyone starts crying. Telemachus cries because he misses his dad and when he finds his dad and when he hugs his dad, Peisistratus is crying just because Telemachus is, Menelaus is bawling his eyes out so much Helen needs to sedate him. Odysseus cries when he's happy and when he's sad and when he meets his parents and when he misses his home and when he returns to his home and when he sees just any land at all and when he has to think about any of the terrible things that happened to him. And in a media enviroment where I predominantly see a guy shed a single tear at the death of his entire family I find that very yummy
