I named USA states and territories with their rough equivalent country or dependancy in size.

They're not all perfect matches obviously, but most are pretty close. Also, the second image is the numbers if you're curious.

Made this after realizing Nolan's Odyssey was shot across six countries that don't overlap with where the story is traditionally set.

The locations in the movie are beautiful and dramatic and allow for one to be fully immersed in the story; this is all for sheer curiosities sake. Also loved reading the Odyssey as a kid and never watched any of the other interpretations filmed.

This is an interactive map with two toggleable routes: the mythic journey (Troy → Ithaca, 14 stops, using the commonly cited traditional locations; these are debated among classicists, Homer's geography wasn't meant to be literal) and the actual 2025 shooting locations Nolan's production used (Morocco, Greece, Sicily, Iceland, Scotland, Western Sahara, and reshoots in LA).

Built with Leaflet + embedded map data. Click either route on/off, click any numbered stop for details.

Made this for myself, but felt others might find this interesting!
