The Odyssey
Odysseus, king of Ithaca and a figure of legend, embarks on a long, perilous quest to return home after the Trojan War. Across his travels, he confronts the capricious whims of the gods, battles with mythic beasts, and endures trials that test both his wits and his humanity to the breaking point.

Monty Python couldn't improve on this. Suffice to say, someone doesn't know their classical Greek history too well. They have excavated skulls from the site of Troy and undertaken facial recreations. Would it surprise anyone to know they looked Greek? Would it surprise anyone, too, to know the main historical figures of Troy were described clearly, as Greek, in classical literature? Upsides include reasonable acting, great sets, okay action and top locations. In summary, I wonder what actual Greeks make of this reimagining of their proud past? For me, what I can say is history is what it is, not what revisionists want it to be. Enough said.
