Screenplay file ↔ Odyssey, Books 1–24
Compare the screenplay with Homer's Odyssey, passage by passage
A panel-reviewed connection is a link that the review process accepted between a screenplay passage and one or more specific passages in the Odyssey. This study documents 475 such connections, along with 244 places where the screenplay changes a Homer-linked scene or has no specific counterpart in the epic. A marks shared wording or a specific statement; B marks a shared event or claim; C marks a broader similarity in setting or situation; and D marks a broad theme. N1 marks new or contradictory material within a scene linked to Homer. N2 marks material for which this study found no specific Odyssey passage. These labels describe the relationship and do not grade artistic quality or prove direct borrowing. The supplied screenplay file has not been independently authenticated as an official publication.
Screenplay order and Odyssey order
Connection map: story sections and Odyssey books
Rows follow the reconstructed order of the screenplay, and columns show the Odyssey's 24 books. The ten rows are story sections created for this study. Choose a square to see the documented connections for that story section and book. A connection that cites more than one book appears in more than one square. The map counts connections; it does not measure faithfulness.

Each result gives the screenplay reference, the reason for the connection, and the relevant Odyssey lines.
244 recorded screenplay changes
Where the screenplay changes or goes beyond the Odyssey
N1 identifies new or contradictory material within a scene already connected to Homer. N2 means that this study found no specific counterpart in the Odyssey's 24 books. An N2 result applies only to the Odyssey; the material may occur elsewhere in Greek myth or later traditions.
