Tom HollandEnglish actor cast as Telemachus
Holland argues that Ogygia is a mythical place outside geography and time rather than a real location, contrary to Plutarch.
“in truth, Aegigia is a place that transcends geography and, in fact, time. Because its meaning in Greek, aegigios, it means primal, before the dawn of time”
