The Odyssey

Synopsis

The greatest epic of the ancient world, Homer’s Odyssey is magnificently recreated for television. Homer’s engaging and edifying tale recounts the journey of Odysseus, king of Ithaca and mastermind of the Greek victory in the Trojan War, survives ten years of trials and temptations thrown in his way by angry gods. He makes his way home to his kingdom, his loyal wife and son with something more valuable than the spoils of war — wisdom.
