The movie starts with queen Penelope having birth to her son. She names him . His dad,Oddyseus, had to go to a war in Persia. He said that if he did not return by the time that Telemaches grew a beard that she should remarry. He got to fight with Hercules. He was sad when Hercules died. His army lost all hope.
But Odysseus created a plan that would win the Land. His plan was to build a giant horse and they would hide inside until the people they were fighting took it throw there gates. Once they did that, Odyseus’s army would get out of the Horse and destroy all all of the land with fire. It took them 10 years to win the battle. The plan worked and they took over the land.
The gods got mad at him because he thought he did it all by himself when really if it wasn’t for the gods his plan would not of worked. So they made his ship get lost.
They landed on a weird island. They found food in a cave. Once they started to eat it they felt the ground tremble. And a giant thing came into the cave which they found out was a Cyclops. He ate a lot of Odyseus’s men. Then Odysseus thought up another plan. He gave some wine to the Cyclops. The Cyclops fell asleep. Then Odysseus made a giant poker and with the help of his companions they poked the cyclops’s eye. He couldn’t see so they escaped.
They traveled for many days on water until they found another island. They stopped there since they thought they could find some food. Some of his men went out to find food. But they didn’t return. So Odysseus went out to find them. But before he left they found a pig and one of the men that went to find food returned and said not to hurt the pig since it was one of there men.
The others didn’t believe him but Odysseus did. He told them not to harm it unless he didn’t return. So Odysseus went off. He saw a cliff on which he had to climb. When he was 4/5ths done climbing the cliff, Hermes, a messenger for the gods, told him that on top of the cliff there was a sorceress that would offer him wine. Then he would turn into an animal. He wouldn’t if he excepted a vegetable that the gods gave to Hermes to give to Odysseus. Odysseus excepted it and went inside the sorceress’s castle. There he met the sorceress and just like Hermes said. She offered him wine. He excepted it since Hermes had given him. The sorceress was scared when he did not turn into an animal that she made a deal with him. She said if he took her to bed that she would release all of his men. He excepts and he goes to bed for five days. She kept her end of the bargain and changed his men back. When he was in bed he asked how he could get home and she said to travel to the under world and ask the master. The men and Oddyseus spent what seemed like 5 days but in the castle time was fast so it really had been 5 years. Oddyseus and what was left of his men left the island.
After more days on sea they landed on another island. They found the wind god on that island. He gave them wind to blow back home. But they weren't allowed to use it until a period of 9 days was completed. On the 8th day one of the men that did not know what was in the bag wanted to see what was in it. So he opened it. The period of time was not over so they blew farther away from his home land of Ithaca. He remembered what the sorceress had said and so he went towards the underworld. Once he got there he went in.
He knew a tale that if any one person went to the underworld for to long that he would become dead them self. So he didn’t want to stay for too long. He went in and found the master and asked him how to get home. He said they had to keep on going straight until they reached an island and if you survived you could go home. So he left.
They found the island and went into a cave. There was a monster in the cave and it ate almost all of his men. The few that survived fell down a waterfall and only Oddyseus survived.
He floated on a log until he reached the island of Cylipso. The people on that island would not let him go until Hermes the messenger god said that they must let him free. So they did and he got home.
But ever since he was gone other princes came to get his wife kingdom. So he killed them all.
The End
