Ten years after the sack of Troy, Zeus is alone on Olympus, with only his daughter Athena remaining at his side. She tries to convince her father to help Odysseus, the last Greek fighter who has not yet returned home to Ithaca.

Devastated by the meaningless of the war on Troy, Odysseus is angry at the Gods for having stood by and let the carnage unfurl. All he wants to do is go home. But his journey will be an odyssey...

Odysseus and his companions are trapped in the Cyclops’ cave. But he is a man with a plan. He carves out a stake and, after having drunk Polyphemus under the table, drives it into his one eye. But outwitting the monster is just one of many challenges that awaits him and his men.

In Ithaca, Queen Penelope has been putting up with the advances of suitors who covet her hand, and her husband's throne. As she thinks of ways to put them off, Odysseus is still on his long journey back home, and must now face off against the witch Circe.

A year has passed. It is time for Odysseus and his men to leave the witch Circe’s island and return to Ithaca. To do so, they must first go to meet the prophet Tiresias in the Underworld. Only he can tell them what to do to appease Poseidon's wrath so that they can return to the seas. But by going to Hell, Odysseus now runs the risk of provoking the almighty Zeus.

Odysseus delves into the depths of the Underworld, where he meets the souls of the Greek heroes who fought with him in the city of Troy. He manages to return to his ship, but now his crew must face sirens and sea monsters.

Odysseus' fleet tries to avoid Charybdis, but then Scylla, a horrible multi-headed creature, destroys three of his ships. The crew are desperate for rest on the island of Helios, which is now in sight. But they'll never make it off the island.

Odysseus has been living peacefully with Calypso for seven years. But he's tormented with the memories of the family waiting for him back home, and the Gods want him to go back. He decides to leave, but Poseidon is still obsessed with revenge. His journey back won't be smooth sailing.

Queen Penelope is betrayed by one of her servants, who tells her many suitors that she's been stalling them this entire time. They lock her up as Odysseus finally goes home - albeit in disguise.

Penelope is now forced to choose a husband among the suitors. She offers them a test to decide who among them is the most worthy: with the bow of Odysseus, they must shoot an arrow and pass it through twelve axe heads. But none succeed, until the beggar tries his luck. He is successful, and reveals his true face: he is Odysseus, the legitimate king of Ithaca.
