We know for a fact that Odysseus at least went to Hades. There’s no other way he would know of Agamemnon’s death, or get the lot. I don’t think the “it was all just a dream” explanation works in this one

Zendaya is absolutely not the goddess Athena. She plays Odysseus's guilt manifested as the goddess Athena. The real goddess Athena is in the movie, but not played by Zendaya.

RedemptionX :
The Odyssey is metaphor for Odysseus's struggle with the grief and trauma of war, and his long journey toward healing. Athena was an innocent life he'd taken. A ghost of shame. Each monster and obstacle reflects a different psychological challenge. The Lotus-Eaters symbolize the temptation to numb pain and escape painful memories through forgetfulness. The Sirens represent destructive thoughts that promise relief but ultimately lead to self-destruction. Scylla and Charybdis embody the impossible choices grief often demands, where every path carries some form of unavoidable loss. The Cyclops, Polyphemus, represents the brutal, dehumanizing violence of war. A force that cannot be defeated through strength alone, but only through wisdom and restraint. Circe symbolizes the temptation to stop moving forward, remaining in a place where responsibility, growth, and suffering are suspended. The Odyssey is not simply the story of a man trying to sail home from Troy. It is the story of a man learning how to return home as someone transformed. Odysseus begins the journey proud, impulsive, and defined by war. By the time he reaches Ithaca, he has become more patient, disciplined, and self-aware; finally capable of reclaiming his place as a husband, father, and king.

Nobody talking about the fact thay Ody shot at the cyclops without twanging his string first to give him a chance like he always does, indicating his lack of honor in this moment, his hubris, and ultimately his downfall... (Nolan clearly did this on purpose and not for no reason)

I liked that the gods weren’t personified in this iteration it felt like Nolan did what many poets did in the past. He created his own version of the Odyssey and retold it his way which I thought was pretty cool. People have to realize this is a story that isn’t written in stone it’s a tale that was retold 100’s of times so whose to say what actually happened.

the old man beating the younger suitors actually makes a lot of sense to me as 1. hes a hardened war veteran 2. hes spent his time since leaving troy having to fight, hunt, survive etc 3. those suitors have done sweet fuck all in terms of fighting, they've been partying pretty much every night Nolan even shows most of them actually gave up and got on their knees during the fight, they were cowards and just pretending to be strong.

I don’t think that the actual Athena looks like Zendaya. I think that Athena is taking the form of the girl (possibly a priestess) that was killed in front of him. (As shown in the scene were he is recapping the sacking of the Holly city of Troy to Penelope) I think Athena servers as a personification of not only Odysseus’s conscious, but also his ptsd.

I feel like it should be. It’s Greek mythology. Removing the Gods and the mythical stuff just makes it meh

this is a bad way to view art. even if the story is "about" ptsd and the horrors of war, that doesn't mean there's a "real" literal story hidden underneath the non literal one we are seeing. In the poem, the gods are real, plain as day. this movie is from a more human perspective and we still see the gods at work

What’s interesting is the movie (spoilers ahead) shows Odysseus falling over on the steps of Troy while it’s burning to the ground and we see him noticing something but it’s never revealed what until the final shot of the film, he was looking at the burning Trogan horse. It made it seem like he never really left Troy and everything after that was just in his head.

Unlike the ring in, inception, the broach doesn’t have the same meaning. Throughout the movie we are slowly being led to the truth. Which is that Odysseus don’t want to go home. When he finally gets home, he doesn’t tell his wife about a cyclops, a witch, nor giants. All he tells her is about the fall of Troy. Because that is the source of his trauma. Athena, who has been talking to him throughout the movie, is just a girl that got killed in Athena’s temple. Which has manifested as his guilt. She only disappears after he forgives himself. All the supernatural stuff in this movie, exclusively happens during the journey home. Of which Odysseus is the only survivor. All the things encountered are just things he manifested in his mind as an obstacle to get home. What actually happened, I don’t think we’re supposed to know. But the entire movie is centered on his guilt and trauma and how he overcomes it.

I think the “it’s all in his head” idea is absolutely ridiculous I don’t know why that is even a discussion.

Brett Commanda :
So many of these takes seem to not understand what adaptation is. Nolan didn’t write the odyssey he adapted it, all of these elements are in the poem. It’s called pov the majority of the poem is in third person, then in the middle, it switches to first person when Odysseus recounts his tale. In film this is often called a flashback. So of course Odysseus seems to be an unreliable narrator. That can only be done in first person. It’s literally the whole point, Odysseus is an antihero, who breaks the law of hospitality, almost half the time he’s gone he’s on an island banging a sea nymph and then returns home, and redeems himself by defending the law of hospitality. Odysseus is Walt White, he’s Jack Sparrow, he’s Han Solo, Tony Soprano, Severus Snape.
