## Description

Troy has fallen. After ten years of war, Odysseus dreams of lying in the arms of his beloved wife Penelope, and of teaching his son Telemachus a warrior’s ways. However, gods toy with the desires of little mortals. Angered by this upstart’s presumption, Poseidon – God of the ocean realms – curses our hero to wander the seas for ten long years. Encountering one-eyed giants, six-headed monsters, terrible storms, titanic whirlpools, hypnotic sirens, seductive witches and jealous goddesses, Odysseus is tempted and tormented beyond any man’s endurance. Yet he is no mere mortal – and the lure of his wife and son draws him, step by step, stroke by stroke, ever closer to home and to his destiny . . .
