A tale which has been mesmerising audiences now for over 3,000 yearsWill Odysseus, hero of the Trojan War and inventor of the wooden horse, be able to make it home to Ithaca in time to wreak revenge on the vicious gang of suitors who are besieging his palace, fighting for his beloved wife, Penelopes hand in marriage and threatening to kill his son? But In order to do so he must first outwit Polyphemus, the one-eyed giant Cyclops who eats men for breakfast; Circe the deadly witch who turns men into livestock; the Sirens whose divine and irresistible song lures men to a pitiful end; Scylla the six-headed serpent and Lord Poseidon, the Earth-Shaker who pursues Odysseus across the wide-seas in a vendetta-fuelled rage. And Odysseus must use all his famed ingenuity to defy death and descend down to the underworld there in the Halls of Hades to commune with the blind prophet Tiresias.
