Fry breathes contemporary relevance into these ancient tales OBSERVER

After the fall of Troy, wily Odysseus, King of Ithaca, sails for home and his steadfast queen Penelope.

However, the angry gods curse him to wander the seas for ten long years. Tormented by giants and monsters, tempted by witches and goddesses, Odysseus battles to draw ever closer to home.

Awaiting him is Penelope, defying reports of his death. But this queen endures her own tormentors – an army of young suitors eager to claim her hand and the throne . . .
