A rare remake film based on the principle of restoring the epic, but it is still necessary to summarize the difference from the original

change

Number of ships in the Kepharenia fleet: 12 → 1

Aeoros identity: mortal → god

Odysseus's stay in Aye (Island of Circe): 1 year → 5 years

When the suitor came: Year 7 after the end of the Trojan War → Year 5 after the end of the Trojan War

Cause of death for those who were on the same boat as Odysseus: drowned in retaliation after eating the sacred cow of Helios → drowned when passing through Charybdis

Menelaus' reply to Telemachus' search for his father: Paraphrasing Proteus' description, telling Odysseus that he survived but was prevented from returning → Tell Telemachus that Odysseus has passed through logical reasoning Die (so in order to set off Odysseus' love for Penelope, Megne lost again x)

Duration of Tremacos' father-hunting journey: about 1 month → 1 year

The reason why Odysseus pretended to test his family and servants: admonished/entrusted by Agamemnon → seriously ill

The time point when Odysseus was changed from old age to prime age by Athena: after revenge → before revenge

added plot

Before setting sail from Ithaca, Odysseus asked Penelope to wait for him (in the original book, Odysseus told his wife that he might not survive)

Antiquelea's preaching to Penelope

Anticlea committed suicide because she missed Odysseus (the original only mentioned that her love for Odysseus took her life)

Antiphos dies trying to save El Penor from playing the flute to attract the Cyclops

Aeoros sends Odysseus home in retaliation for Poseidon

Eurylochus protects his teammates who were turned into pigs by Circe (in the original book, it was he who instigated the crew to eat Helios' sacred cow, which caused the tragedy)

On the island of Circe, 1 day is equal to 1 year (this makes Odysseus 5 years younger in disguise)

Calypso said "the last time I saw a man was 100 years ago"

abridged plot

Carcones

Odysseus pretended to be nobody, making the other cyclops reluctant to rescue Polyphemus

Lesteriogones

El Penor falls to his death in Aeiai

In the Nekyia chapter, Odysseus communicates with Antiquelea, ancient heroes, and deceased comrades It is harmless to delete it, and the deletion of Agamemnon's exhortation to Odysseus directly makes Odyssey 15-24 volumes lose their meaning).

Telemachus tries to place the bowstring

At the beginning of volume 24, the soul of the suitor came to the underworld to talk to Agamemnon and others

Odysseus, who still likes incompetence and fury, is still Menelaus, who has not restored his blonde hair. Since it is divided into two parts, many important plots can actually be preserved. Should it be said that it is Britain and not Greece? year level.
