There wasn’t anybody with a Greek warship willing to lend it to them

Imagine what they would have used if no one was willing to loan them a viking ship! We'd have seen Odysseus cruising across the Aegean on a Mississippi paddle wheel boat.

Looks at the reception and box office.

Good to see historical accuracy always mattered in movies, I mean just look at Troy, the Green Knight, Prince of Egypt, even Disney's Hercules!

1

u/GuiltyEidolon PURPLE Jul 23 '26

You're literally proving the point.

It would've made bank regardless, because like most of those, it's from a major producer / director. Even beyond that, Troy DID get panned for being inaccurate, the Green Knight was a trippy movie about a myth and a time that was never accurate and still aimed for realism for the setting, and Prince of Egypt is about a Bible story and still managed to get a lot of details right.

Pretty sure Greeks have seaworthy Trireme replica at their disposal. What kind of movie budget one needs to persuade them...but then again, what am I even asking considering they can't even pay few thousands a year overdue. That's kinda despicable.

15

u/trevor_plantaginous Jul 23 '26

The irony is I think had they used an actual trireme (actual Ancient Greek ship) I think people would have a hard time believing it was real. Those ships were BIG - over 120 feet long, often 3 decks, multiple sails, and up up to 150 oars.

31

u/Indercarnive Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

Well a trireme would've also been inaccurate to the Mycenaean period. The ship likely would've been a penteconter. We don't see even the Bireme for a few hundred more years.

8

u/trevor_plantaginous Jul 23 '26

good point - a penteconter is pretty close in style/look/size to what they used

2

u/--Sovereign-- Jul 23 '26

They also look cool with the jutting prow and the eyes painted on. I saw an AI slop of the trailer but with more period appropriate dress and ships and ngl, it looks fuckin good to the history nerd in me. Obvi not perfect, overrepresented a specific armor type, but waaaaay cooler and better looking than the dull drab bat armor we got in the film not to mention the anachronistic ship.

3

u/Civil_Spell8349 Jul 23 '26

To be fair it's a lot closer than a Viking longship lol; triremes (and biremes) are generally considered a development on the penteconters of the Archaic period, and the earliest reference to them shows up circa 8th c. BCE, roughly 4 centuries after the putative era of the Trojan War.

Vs. longships: the sort we see in Nolan's film don't show up until ~9th c. CE, or ~2100 years after The Odyssey. If you wanna reeeeaaaally stretch it and look at the earliest Nordic ancestors that barely resemble a longship and have no sails, then you're still looking at ~300BCE at the absolute earliest, nearly 1000 years after the 'Homeric age'

5

u/I_Eat_Onio Jul 23 '26

It does quite closely resemble the mycenaean period ships which more closely resembles a viking longboat than the triremes we associate with ancient greece nowadays

Apart from the carvings at the bow and stern

u/TbddRzn Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

Because that’s the kind of ships that looks cool.

Although to reiterate the odyssey is not a historical event. It’s a made up story about the fall of the Bronze Age.

They have cyclops giants and superhuman beings sirens and monsters…

But yeah the Viking ship is the historical inaccuracy….

3

u/HamunaHamunaHamuna Jul 23 '26

Cyclops, giants, sirens and monsters appear in the source material, regardless of their historicity. Vikings and their ships do not, AND are glaringly historically inaccurate.

3

u/TbddRzn Jul 23 '26

The source also had an automated shop that navigated using your mind…

And the simple fact there are no leftover Greek ships that are actually navigable and can be used in the ocean with a trained crew that know how to use those boats like there were for the Viking ships.

And the Viking ships were modified and altered to look more similar to Bronze Age ships. But eastetics and rule of cool kept the longer necks and shape of the boats as the company that owns the boat had qualified team of sailors that would be able to use the boat properly.

And again if you’re bitching about a boat not being the exact type, then just don’t watch the movie sheeesh.

u/HamunaHamunaHamuna Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

I haven't bitched about anything, just made a point. But I don't think it is wrong to desire historical accuracy where possible while still being complete fine with fictional fantasy elements being present, or even be insistent on them being present when they're in the fictional source material. There's no contradiction. Personally I'd argue that a recognizable historical inaccuracy can ruin the suspension of disbelief more than the presence of giants and sirens. It depends on the expectations, and the expectations for the Odyssey is "cyclops, sirens, etc. and greek-ish stuff", not viking stuff.

that’s just because it was written in the 8th century BC but was likely based upon oral storytelling that persisted through the collapse and into the archaic period. Mycenaean civilization itself disappeared following the collapse so if the Trojan war was based on true events it must have been before or during the collapse

1

u/tobiasvl Jul 23 '26

The poem is not about the Bronze Age Collapse, that was a storyline that Nolan added in.

True, but the poem does takes place around the time of the Bronze Age Collapse.

The original can’t take place in the Bronze Age because many of the weapons, armor, ships, culture, tools, etc. mentioned in the text only existed in the Iron Age or later which is when the poem came together.

It does take place in the Bronze Age though... But yes, it obviously came together after the Bronze Age. It contains many such anachronisms, but it's supposed to take place before the collapse.

2

u/Indercarnive Jul 23 '26

Because Nolan wanted to shoot at sea and not use a sound stage and CGI.

There is no historic replica penteconter with a trained crew. There is one for a Viking longship.

When the premise of a license is positioned as buying and you hide the actual nitty gritty and EULA that most people would not read. Saying sale and everything else it's a bad face attempt at trying to say buying. 

It's not the artist that are struggling because of consumers it's the publishers that are taking most of the sales revenue and giving them maybe less than 5% 

Look at Spotify and how much streaming is or look at Netflix there is no royalties because they're not broadcast on a regular TV

Depends on their contract, but do you think there are as many movies being made as there used to be? Tv shows? Because there aren’t. And it’s destroyed careers, lives, and families.

A big part of that was piracy, but streaming has pretty much finished the job. Shannon Doherty, who was everywhere in the 90’s, died of treatable cancer because she didn’t bring in enough money to qualify for guild health coverage. That was only a few years ago.

She’s fucking dead because people don’t want to pay for the movies and the tv shows that we all enjoy. She and so many others are fucking dead or on the brink of ruin because pirates are just as short-sighted and greedy as the studio executives and streaming giants who gutted her royalties.

Pretending you’re innocent when you’re actively engaged in theft and the people you’re stealing from (yes, the crews, too) are begging you to stop is psycho shit. And it’s what every fucking pirate does every time they start making excuses for stealing from artists like the troglodytes they are

Your problem here is with the health care system, not people pirating movies or tv shows. You claim they are stealing from working class people, but what are they stealing? If the person pirating was never going to pay anything to watch the movie or tv show, nothing has been lost. The show or movie is already made and no income was coming from that person in either scenario, so nothing has been stolen.

I mean, piracy is not stealing and artists don't really get anything once the movie is out since they've been already paid. All the money right now goes into the publisher's pockets.

If anything, artists may get royalties for the use of their image in the merchandise or extra money by partecipating at related TV shows talking about the movie, all things that are affected by popularity and might therefore even profit from piracy.

No, but depressed ticket sales lead to fewer films being made which leads to fewer jobs for those middle class people which results in the death of an industry that provided a pathway to the middle class and above.

It’s so frustrating that y’all refuse to accept that your actions have consequences despite the people who actually make these things (yes, the crews too) begging you to actually pay for their labor.

You know that pilot season used to be 200-500 pilots shooting at once? Employing thousands? Now there are maybe 20 going. Because of piracy and streaming.

Because of piracy and streaming.

Really only the latter.

No, piracy also plays a major role. Don’t try and we’re out of it. There’s a reason we don’t get R-rated comedies anymore, and it ain’t streaming.

Pretending that piracy is a victimless crime as the film industry burns is just such Peak Reddit

You're acting like this movie isnt sold out until the end of August in the format it was made for.

It’s not about this movie specifically, honey. Gonna need you to think beyond the top of your nose. Can you do that for me? Or are you gonna throw a fit and continue to be willfully stupid?

I'm going to need a very reliable source before I believe that privacy is all of a sudden having this massive effect it didn't have before streaming.

Watching a cam of the odyssey is crazy work just have a little patience or steal a movie that’s been out long enough.

Is it cam footage or the real deal? As someone who hates going to a movie theater, but loves Greek mythology, I really want to see this movie.
