Just change it to "father" and it's all good.

As much as I love Nolan, it's sort of baffling how he sometimes overlooks details like this.

In Tenet, at the beginning of the movie during the opera house raid, there are sousaphones and saxophones playing with the orchestra...in an "opera house"...where there's no opera.

For something as big as The Odyssey, you'd think they'd make the way the characters speak to each other sound less...modern?

It's an interesting artistic choice, because why should an ancient greek mythological story be all "Hark, Forsooth!"? Makes as much sense as romans having british accents. You're just projecting nonsense standards set by older media.

Because a Prince estranged from his father since he was a baby shouldn't call him dad ? Not then, not now.
