Briefly

Flogging a wooden horse: how faithful will Christopher Nolan's Odyssey be?
"The new trailer for The Odyssey shows glimpses of the Cyclops, the whirlpool Charybdis, and Odysseus summoning the spirits of the dead, highlighting key moments from the epic."
"Robert Pattinson portrays Antinous, the most odious of the suitors tormenting Odysseus' wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, adding a layer of conflict to the narrative."
"Nolan's adaptation includes the famous wooden horse, a ruse devised by Odysseus, which is alluded to in the original text but not directly told in the Odyssey."
Christopher Nolan's adaptation of the Odyssey is set to release on July 17, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus. The film includes key characters and scenes, such as the Cyclops and Charybdis. Robert Pattinson plays Antinous, a suitor vying for Penelope's affection. The wooden horse, although not part of the original Odyssey narrative, is included in the film. Trailers and prologues have been released, revealing glimpses of the story and its characters, while the depiction of Circe remains to be seen.
