Homer's Odyssey is amongst civilisation's oldest and most studied works of literature. Its storied pages recount the epic tale of Ulysses's decades-long voyage home from the Trojan War, and offers a mythic depiction of the Mediterranean world in 13th Century BC.

Today, archaeologists, geologists and palaeontologists are using cutting-edge tech to investigate the truth behind the legend. Did Ulysses – the story's iconic hero – truly exist? And could he really have encountered the mythical Sirens, Scylla, Lotus-Eaters and Cyclops? What emerges from their studies is a fascinating glimpse at the real-life empires and peoples who populated the Mediterranean’s choppy waters and craggy landscapes all those thousands of years ago.

With access to exciting new excavations and jaw-dropping CGI from the studio behind the 200-million-selling Assassin's Creed franchise, witness the world of The Odyssey brought to life like never before.
