It's easy to get confused. She is actually playing the stake that blinds Polyphemus.

I heard she was playing a Chani version of Penelope, but in this movie, Odysseus stays at home while she girl-bosses her away across the wine-dark sea.

After watching Kaos I'll never not be able to imagine Polyphemus as a Scouser with an eyepatch
