The Odyssey
tells of the epic journey home of Odysseus, King of
Ithaca, after the Trojan War. Odysseus fought with the
Greeks to rescue Queen Helen, and after ten years of battle
he invented the famous Trojan Horse trick, which enabled the
Greeks to capture and destroy the city of Troy. However, his
journey home was to take another ten years,
as he and his men suffered one disaster after another.
In this game you play the role of Odysseus, commanding a fleet of 12 ships heading for home after the war. On each step of your journey you will have to decide the best course of action when faced with 3 options. Beware - one of the options will always lead to the end of your adventure, either happily or...not so happily! If you choose
the same option as Odysseus did in the original story, you
will see this button on the page that appears. You will be
faced with beautiful goddesses and hideous creatures,
witches and warriors, life and death. Are you brave enough
to meet the challenge? If you are
ready, noble warrior, begin your journey home
