"The Odyssey" comes to the cinema by Christopher Nolan: what is real and what is myth in the story of Odysseus

It notes that while there is no definitive proof that Odysseus existed or completed his journey from Troy to Ithaca, some scholars suggest the story may have roots in real historical events, including the Trojan War. The article highlights that the work attributed to Homer originated from oral tradition and remains debated as either legend or documented fact. It also mentions archaeological findings at Hisarlik in Turkey, which suggest that Troy was a real city, though the war described in Homer's works may not have occurred exactly as depicted.
