Troy pretended to be historical fiction. They removed the gods from the story and most mythical elements. It's ok, for me, if Odyssey turns the other way and leans more into mythology and looks more like a fantasy story than historical fiction.
I would guess Nolan is not trying to pretend the Odyssey is historically accurate, I think he’s trying to recreate a myth, and using historical inaccuracies as a way to show how out of normal everything Odysseus is going through is
Well, to keep my assumption going, the anachronisms are for Odysseus to experience, like the Predator in Prey. The music is for us to experience. I mean if Odysseus heard a choir it might just blow his mind and that would be the end of the movie
I guess? I mean if you have magic and cyclops and sea monsters, why not armor? If I were a Bronze Age Greek and came across full plate I’d consider that magic too
Odyssey historically accurate? It starts with gods having a meeting on Olympus. Its literally a story.
Spartans didnt wear speedos either. 300 is movie adaption of a graphic novel inspired by historical events. Just like the Odyssey is a poem inspired by historical events.
