Robert Pattinson rumoured to play Greek God in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey”

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated upcoming Hollywood films, with a steady stream of behind-the-scenes pictures emerging from the sets in Italy. Based on the 8th-century poem by Homer, the movie is expected to be a grand adaptation of the Greek epic.

 According to Italian magazine Chi, Robert Pattinson is reportedly playing the role of Hermes, the Greek god known for his speed and wit. In Greek mythology, Hermes is the son of Zeus, the king of the gods, and the mortal woman Maia. After impressing Zeus with his cleverness, Hermes is granted full godhood and appointed as the messenger of the gods. The film will follow the long and perilous sea voyage of Odysseus, who is cursed by Poseidon after the Greeks win the Trojan War. Throughout the tale, Hermes aids Odysseus on multiple occasions, guiding and protecting him during his journey. Earlier rumours suggested Pattinson might be playing the ghost of Achilles, the famed warrior who fought beside Odysseus in the Trojan War but died before it ended.   (Agencies)
