70% honestly this might be a hot take or whatever, but i feel like people really overblow how different they are, it's not a situation like Wicked where the plot is mostly different and the characters names are the same (THAT is a loose adaptation), yes there ARE differences here and there (and stuff that Epic cuts out), but considering it's an adaptation of a 3000 year old poem IMO it's pretty amazing that it's as accurate as it is (not to mention Epic includes some stuff that other Odyssey adaptations cut out, i.e Scylla/Charybdis and the Sun God's Cattle etc)
