Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Is a Sequel to the Epic Movie He Turned Down Over 20 Years Ago

Homer’s famous poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, tell the story of the Trojan War from beginning to end. The Iliad centers on the ten-year battle at Troy, fueled by the anger of heroes like Achilles and the efforts of Prince Hector to defend his city. The Odyssey, on the other hand, follows Odysseus’ difficult ten-year journey home to Ithaca after the war. It examines the lasting effects of conflict, the hardships of returning home, and the struggle to rebuild one’s life after experiencing great trauma. Essentially, The Iliad portrays the war itself, while The Odyssey explores what happens in its wake. A 2004 film, Troy, adapted The Iliad; Christopher Nolan was once considered as the director.
