Its been a while but doesn't Odysseus fuck some goddess and get trapped on an island for like 10 years.

Odysseus getting Odyslaid while cockblocking his whole crew would be on brand

Also I don’t think the majority of Odysseus’ crew made it anywhere close to 20 years 💀

7 years yes, and all his men are dead by the time he gets there around year 2. And before that, rape, yes.

In the Homeric version, yes. Nolan changes up the details quite a bit, not for the better imo.

Sounds like some of those people should have read The Iliad cuz the kidnapping and raping women is kind of a subplot.
