Well, to Achilles or to maybe heroes that we might be more used to on screen or in stories.
And I'll be getting to the film adaptation.
But he's a trickster.
He finds ways of getting around what he wants to do, including, you know, something that's only mentioned, but the idea of the Trojan horse to win the Trojan War.
targets him Matthew when I heard that Christopher Nolan was making this film adaptation I wondered why he was making the sequel first and not doing the Iliad first and researching this I realised that it isn't actually a sequel and that it's a much more complicated story than that well I mean I think that's true but in some ways I think you're exactly right because the Odyssey is always consciously positioning itself as coming after the Iliad um
I can understand now why Christopher Nolan decided to turn it into a film because it very much suits his style of filmmaking.
There are flashbacks.
It's not as simple a story as it might first appear.
There are twists.
There are ways that you can pull the rug from under the feet of the people watching it.

Catherine, Matthew there mentioned Telemachus, the son of Odysseus and Penelope.
And there are these crucial characters in it, the son, the wife, Penelope.
Is Odysseus the main character or is this a story where there are multiple kind of main characters?
Alexandra, something that Catherine said there struck me.
She mentioned the goddess Athena.
And that's something that, again, is maybe showing how this is a story from the ancient world.
The idea that you are having gods and goddesses in this story, that there is these different dimensions that are a little unfamiliar to us, perhaps in the 21st century.
George, can we talk about Hades?
And you're an expert on the politics of Hades in the work of Homer.
