Features: The smoke of war has long faded, and Troy has been destroyed for ten years, yet the clever hero Odysseus has not yet returned to his homeland, Ithaca. He is still adrift at sea. Why is the journey home so difficult? It is because the sea god is against him. Fate has destined Odysseus' ten years of wandering and his near-death experiences. His wife, the beautiful and loyal Penelope, does not know if he is alive and is still enduring, yet she is surrounded by arrogant suitors; his young son Telemachus has grown up and is in danger. The journey home is long and arduous, and life is unpredictable. It takes courage and perseverance, but more importantly, it takes wisdom to become an invincible hero.
