How The Odyssey Reveals the Mythmaking Behind Jesus

Be Scofield, M.Div Jul 20, 2026

At the end of Christopher NolanrCOs The Odyssey, Matt DamonrCOs Odysseus returns to his own kingdom disguised as a beggar. Disheveled, with a
scarf pulled over his head, he moves through the palace unrecognized.
People soon mock and shove him while others insult him.

Odysseus is actually the rightful kingrCopowerful, wise beyond measure, and finally home. The disguise serves as a test of character. How do people
treat a stranger when they believe he has no status and no power?

ItrCOs a powerful moral story, and itrCOs one found throughout Greek myth, known as theoxeny. ItrCOs also the central story of Christianity.

Jesus is the rightful king rCLdisguisedrCY as an ordinary peasant from Galilee. He is repeatedly misunderstood by the villagers, his relatives
and disciples, and religious authorities. Jesus is seen as a mere son of
a carpenter, a troublemaking preacher, a wandering healer, and, finally,
a condemned criminal. rCLKing of the Jews,rCY the placard above his head on the cross says mockingly.

His journey is similar to OdysseusrCOs. Both move through the world in
lowly disguise. They are mocked by those who fail to recognize them. They
are both moving toward the throne that rightfully belongs to them.
