The DVD is an in-depth study of four literary masterworks by Homer, Milton and Chaucer that includes expert commentary, critical analysis, and atmospheric dramatized scenes. "The Odyssey" tells of the wanderings of Odysseus on his adventurous way back to Ithaca. The program explores the background to the author, a mysterious figure that some say was blind, others that he never existed at all.
