This movie was based on the epic poem by Homer. The Odyssey was a great movie. I loved the way the war was fought . The Wooden Horse was amazing. I wouldn't thought of that in a million years.The mountains in greece is rockyand the and the land was, too.They ate flat bread and the palace was open with all the animals inside it.They grew olives and made oils from it. Then Odysseus thinks that he was so clever that he could live with out the gods. So when Poseidon hears it, he cursed him so he couldn't see his home land for many years. While he is trying to get home, he meets some interesting people and islands like the Cyclopes and he out smarts it. Next he lands on another island of aeolos ,the wind god, and he tries to help him, but one of his men opens the bag and let all the wind out. Lands on the island of Circe and stays with her for five years, while he thinks it is five days. Then he goes to the underworld to find a blind prophet, sees his mother,and leaves. Meets the two creatures, one is a five headed hydra and the other is a gigantic mouth underwater. That's how the rest of his crew dies. Then lands on another island and there he meets Calypso. Stays two years ,when he leaves he sees Poseidon and he "broke" him, then he can sail homewards.Now he lands on another island and the king of that island helps him by getting him a boat. Sails home,and sees his son, goes home, fix the contest. And the rest is history. That's is what I like the most about the story.
