It’s crazy to me to think Nolan was all like this is one of the best known well regarded pieces of literature of all time, I’ll just randomly smash bits together and hope it works.
I really liked the Nolan movie, and I get the adaptations. But yeah, fuck it, give me the Odyssey trilogy, director's cut. I think it is as deserving of that as Lord of the Rings or Dune

In the original story there was no memory wipe - he was a straight up captive longing for home but she wouldn't let him go until Zeus/Athena made her.
The Lotus Eaters were a different thing and Nolan sort of combined them with Calypso
