Everything you need to know about The Odyssey
Directed by Christopher Nolan, the film is another adaptation of Homer's classic heroic poem, a continuation of The Iliad that tells the story of Odysseus (Ulysses in some translations), trying for 10 years to return home to Ithaca after victory in the Trojan War. Enraged, the god of the seas, Poseidon, does everything he can to keep him from returning to his wife, Penelope.
Matt Damon plays Odysseus. Anne Hathaway plays the character's wife, Penelope. Meanwhile, Tom Holland plays Telemachus, Ulysses' son, with Zendaya playing the goddess Athena, Charlize Theron as Calypso, Benny Safdie as Agamemnon, and Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra — or Clitemnestra —, Agamemnon's wife.
The Odyssey is now playing in theaters.
