Who is Telemachus, again? Circe? A guide to the characters of Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of 'The Odyssey' introduces modern actors to classical characters, aiming to make the ancient epic accessible to contemporary audiences. Matt Damon portrays Odysseus, the cunning king of Ithaca whose journey home is central to the story. Anne Hathaway plays Penelope, the queen who waits for her husband for 20 years amid suitors seeking her hand. Tom Holland embodies Telemachus, Odysseus's son who embarks on a parallel quest to find his father. Robert Pattinson takes on the role of Antinous, one of the suitors competing for Penelope's affection. The film blends elements of a homecoming tale with a coming-of-age narrative, focusing on themes of identity, loyalty, and personal growth.
