How Matt Damon Got Ripped For Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey
Odysseus is the template for the mythic hero, which means any actor who steps into those sandals has to look the part. Enter Matt Damon, who leaned down, shredded up, and embarked on his own physical odyssey.

Do you think Matt Damon was the right choice for Odysseus?

That's the basic first step and most important. Diet.

History professor here. The fact that people are still making movies on the epic poem from 2700 years ago, shows how remarkable a work it is. . If anyone wants some background as to the story of the Odyssey and the history of the real war that the poem is based on, I have a lecture that covers it. The Odyssey Explained (Before You Watch the Movie…or Even If You Never Do!) I do wonder if there has been anything written in the last 150 years that people will still be reading 2500 years from now
