A 2,800-year-old story has been brought back to life by Christopher Nolan. No points for guessing it is "The Odyssey." You might be a mythology geek comparing the film and the book to tea, or this might be your first encounter with Homer’s epic, which tells the tale of Odysseus’ return to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Or you might have read the story in school and wondered if Troy is real.
Hisarlik, in present-day northwestern Turkey, is widely claimed to be the original site of Troy, as Heinrich Schliemann excavated the site. The film, shot across six different countries, incorporates much of the dramatic landscape and the raging seas that Homer describes in his poetry.
Here are some of the places where the film was shot that you can actually travel to get the feel of the film.
