The Odyssey movie
Definition
A film or television adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic poem 'The Odyssey,' chronicling the hero Odysseus's perilous ten-year journey home after the Trojan War, filled with mythical creatures, gods, and epic detours.
Most popularly, the 1997 Hallmark miniseries directed by Andrei Konchalovsky, starring Armand Assante as a brooding Odysseus, which turned cyclopes into budget CGI stars and sirens into questionable vocalists.
