Product: The Odyssey [VHS] (1997)
Rating: 5.0
Excellent mini-series for mythology lovers
I first watched this mini-series when I was 11 years old and I have loved it ever since. The series begins near the end of Homer's The Iliad and then continues through Homer's The Odyssey. I read The Odyssey and I have studied mythology for years. When watching a movie or mini-series, differences are expected. Given these considerations, the epic and the series are extremely similar. I do not believe the differences diminish the affect of the series in this case.I do not recommend this series if you expect Homer's exact epic in cinematic form. However, if you like mythology, the references and the story of this epic will keep you enthralled. If you do not like mythology, you may be interested in the action of the series. Either way, I believe it is an excellent choice for entertainment and learning purposes. I hope you enjoy.
