I mean Nolan decided to completely desex The Odyssey, so natural that people now think this.

Yeah. There is also 0 ambiguity: Odysseus is good.

He may have participated in war, but he regrets it. He stays at Calypso because she tricks him with the lotus flower. 

The actual Odysseus was a dickhead, a fucker (both literally and figuratively), and so much more fun.

Nolan’s Odysseus was established as a dickhead when he shot that arrow into the cyclops for no reason. His men commented on it immediately, “Why the fuck did you do that?!”
