I dare to say that this is the only Odyssey that is so close to the original epos written by Homer. As a Greek and a Classics' teacher I recommend this film to anyone who is interested in The Odyssey. I'm never bored of watching it.

" ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ The show I am talking about has nothing to do with this one, except the tittle and the story. It's an infamous French animation , and I can find anything about it, even on amazon."

""The gods cannot do for man what man must do for himself." Directed by: Andrey Konchalovskiy Starring: Armand Assante, Greta Scacchi, Isabella Rossellini Rating: 6/10 A made for Tv movie epic. It's overall entertaing, despite that it drags a lot and that the special effects are really poor. Even for that time. "
