I have virtually zero knowledge of The Odyssey as a Greek mythology, save for a few recognisable names like the Helen of Troy, the Trojan War etc. I do want to enjoy the movie to its fullest, and if learning about the plot material is essential to it, then so be it. Is there a good resource giving a summarized version of the plot enough to understand the film? If so, I would really appreciate it if you shared it here.
You don’t need to do anything, at all. I will tell you, the girl who captures Odysseus is named Calypso. She’s a nymph, not a full god. That was the only thing I didn’t know. You already know who Zeus and Poseidon are.
