In this adaptation of the Iliad, set in 1174 B.C. after a decade of conflict in the Trojan War, the Greek hero Odysseus embarks on a journey back to his homeland. However, instead of a straightforward voyage, he encounters a series of misadventures both at sea and on land. Accompanied by a captured Trojan warrior named Circe and a band of loyal Greek soldiers, Odysseus faces numerous challenges, including battling sea sirens and other mythical creatures, as he strives to return to his island kingdom of Icarus. Meanwhile, his wife Penelope is besieged by a group of suitors eager for her to choose one of them as her new husband.
