Good morning everyone!
Today’s a big day for cinemas (and Spurs fans, tangentially). Odyssey is hitting the big screens!
The epic film (with an equally epic nearly three-hour run time) follows the Greek mythologic figure Odysseus, a veteran of the Trojan war and his long journey home.
It features a lot of the characters I read about during my Latin classes: Athena, Agamemnon, Sinon, Poseidon, Polybus, Telemachus, Penelope, and many others.
You need a lot of actors for something like this, but there’s only one that matters for us: Tom Holland.
The Tottenham Hotspur fan plays Telemachus, son of Odysseus and Penelope, and prince of Ithaca. Telemachus plays a major role in The Odyssey and I wonder how heavily it’ll focus on Holland’s character considering the trailer featured only a snippet of him.
I think we can all agree that the more Tom Holland, the better. And boy are we in luck because apparently there’s another Spiderman coming out in a couple weeks (spoiler alert: Holland players Spiderman).
Your hoddler-in-chief is off to the cinema later this evening for The Odyssey. He’ll report back next week.
