In 'Odyssey,' Music Maps Odysseus' Shattered Inner Life

In 'Odyssey,' Music Maps Odysseus' Shattered Inner Life

I'm captivated by film music. Music can sometimes reveal a character's intimate emotions that images and dialogue alone cannot convey. It can also open a window onto a creator's hidden intent. For me, understanding a film through its music is one way of reaching the movie itself.

One of the most striking scenes in 〈Odyssey〉 is the one-eyed giant Cyclops that Odysseus and his group encounter in a cave they enter after chasing a ram. With his enormous body blocking the cave like a huge boulder, he devours the humans inside two at a time each day, then sleeps.
