“No one could stand between my men and home. Not even me.”
To this I call bullshit. Odysseus (Matt Damon) and his men were away for 20 effing years — the 10-year Trojan War plus another ten years of roaming around and getting into this and that adventure (cyclops, sirens, et. al.). I’d say that after a decade of fighting the Trojan War, Odysseus did stand between his men and home, and for a helluva long time at that.
You heard it here first — there’s a distinct possibility that The Odysssey is going to turn out to be a turgid, self-important whiff.
