Two of the oldest literary works, Iliad and Odyssey, were written in the seventh century B.C. by Homer, a Greek poet. Now, a film adaptation of Homer’s epic tale, The Odyssey, is set to be released in summer 2026. The story focuses on Odysseus, the Greek King of Ithaka, and his 10-year journey home after the Trojan War.
