About The Odyssey
The Odyssey is a point-and-click adventure based on Homer's myth. You play as the Greek hero Odysseus (Ulysses), trying to return home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy. His journey takes ten years, following the ten-year Trojan War, and includes danger from mythical creatures and ancient gods.
The journey home
You escape from Goddess Calypso's island, blind Cyclops Polyphemus and face the witch-Goddess Circe. You travel to the land of the dead to seek an oracle, avoid the Siren mermaids, pass between the six-headed monster Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis, and visit the Sun God's island.
At the end of the journey, you murder the suitors and reunite with your wife, Penelope, and your son, Telemachus. The game presents the myth as an adventure and an opportunity to learn about it.
