Homer’s Odyssey is an ancient Greek poem about Odysseus, a warrior trying to get home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. His journey takes many years, while his wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, wait for him.
Christopher Nolan’s film adapts that story for modern cinema, with Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope and Tom Holland as Telemachus. The poem has inspired many retellings, and its themes of travel, family and homecoming help explain its lasting place in literature and popular culture.
