I mean, you’re not wrong. Nolan is trying to be inclusive… unfortunately, that’s not how the world worked in 7th century BC, which is when the Odyssey was written

TBF it’s the Mediterranean Sea area, so pretty much the entire shitty beige rainbow loitered around there, unless he’s trying to add in some Samurai or native North/South Americans or something- the Japanese were pretty insular back then. (Even Vikings and other Norse people were hanging around as mercs back in the doy).

The Vikings became known to the eastern Roman empire in around 800 AD. The odyssey was written in around 800 BC.

Yeah but the vibes are the same.

Not till Byzentine era. Norse peoples in 2000BC were practically non-existant, as the migration of the people hasn't happened for another 1000 years.

True but the vibes are the same anyway

[u/LeavesInsults1291 → u/Grimdark-Waterbender]

??? The odyssey is Greek

[u/earwig2000 → u/LeavesInsults1291]

Do tell, what is the body of water that Greece borders (don't try saying aegean sea we all know that's not what I mean)

[u/FriskyWhiskey_Manpo → u/Grimdark-Waterbender]

This predates both of those eras by over 1000 years

[u/Grimdark-Waterbender → u/FriskyWhiskey_Manpo]

Correct but the vibes are the same.
