I really should watch the Odyssey; I immediately knew what movie and scene this was from without even having seen the trailer because it lines up so well with what I imagined from reading that scene, that’s often the sign of a very good adaptation.
It is good. There is a certain narrative that isn’t exactly a part of the book but I think is perfectly logical to ascribe without feeling like a different thing, and I think it makes it better. That’s just about the only thing I could see someone not enjoying if they are a huge fan of the book. Well, I was not the biggest fan of Menelaus or Telemachus’ casting either but that’s a nitpick.
