I have virtually zero knowledge of The Odyssey as a Greek mythology, save for a few recognisable names like the Helen of Troy, the Trojan War etc. I do want to enjoy the movie to its fullest, and if learning about the plot material is essential to it, then so be it. Is there a good resource giving a summarized version of the plot enough to understand the film? If so, I would really appreciate it if you shared it here.
You’re in luck, it all takes place after that. Like immediately, Odysseus is coming (odysseying) back from Troy.
It’s so episodic they can’t possibly fuck up the exposition. Just general stuff about how the Greeks lived, what each of the gods did and what a nymph is would help, although who knows how much of that Hollywood has “adapted”, as well.
