The film adaptation  of Homer's epic poem of the same name about the adventures of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, will be partially filmed in Sicily, which, according to scholars, was the place of Odysseus' travels in the epic written in the 8th century BC.

In particular, Christopher Nolan will travel to Favignana Island, known as the "goat island.
