Emily Wilson, a classicist who translated The Odyssey in 2017, was asked about the film by the Associated Press.

Wilson said she is happy that more people know about The Odyssey, but she thinks Nolan missed some important themes from the poem.

Nolan said Wilson's work inspired him, especially the first line of Homer's poem, 'Tell me about a complicated man'.

It is very hard to fit all of The Odyssey's 12,000 lines into a three-hour film, but Nolan included the main events and characters.

Wilson's translation looked at the roles of women in The Odyssey, like Penelope and Circe, and Nolan's film gives women more important roles.

It is interesting to hear what scholars think about The Odyssey, a story that has been retold in many ways for thousands of years.

We will never know what Homer thinks, and we should not speak for him.

The Odyssey film is now in theaters.
