Unraveling Homer's Odyssey: The Greatest Myth In Human History? | The Odyssey

For over 3,000 years, the Odyssey has been celebrated as the foundational masterpiece of Western literature. But to the ancient Greeks, this was far more than a thrilling survival story of monsters, ghosts, and mythical islands. It was a profound philosophical blueprint exploring what it truly means to be mortal. In this premium documentary, we follow Odysseus’s harrowing decade-long voyage from the blood-soaked ruins of Troy back to his kingdom of Ithaca.
