Fan Casting Daughters of Ithaca

The story follows Callista (Dua Lipa) and Thalia (Hailee Steinfeld), two warriors who join Odysseus' legendary army as it sails to Troy to lay siege to the city. Callista, a skilled archer who carries the weight of her family’s disgrace, and Thalia, a daring swordswoman seeking to prove herself in a world dominated by men, form an unlikely alliance as they fight both on the battlefield and within their own ranks. As the war drags on, the two women face betrayal, loss, and impossible choices that challenge their loyalty—not only to Ithaca and Odysseus, but to each other. In a climactic final act, Callista and Thalia must decide whether to follow the orders of their king or forge their own path, shaping their destiny in a world that seeks to erase their story.
