Every Monster in The Odyssey, Explained (Real Mythology)

The Odyssey just hit theaters — but almost every monster in it looks nothing like the myth actually describes. In this video, we go through every creature Odysseus meets on his ten-year journey home, in the order he actually meets them, and break down what Homer really wrote versus what Nolan put on screen. From the Cyclops Polyphemus to the witch Circe, from the Sirens' deadly song to the six-headed nightmare of Scylla, this is the real mythology behind The Odyssey's most talked-about scenes — including the moments the trailers never showed you. Watched Troy before this dropped? This is the next chapter of that story. Odysseus's ten-year war is over — now his ten-year journey home begins, and it's even worse.
