On his way he ends up insulting Poseidon (Saturn) and the god in his anger adds many years to the Greek hero's trip. In his journey home, Ulysses and his crew get caught up with goddesses, sirens, get caught in areas where time slows down, facing mighty cyclops giants and even descending to the gates of Tartarus to save one of his crew. Meanwhile at home, men are contending for the heroes' throne and when he returns home, he must fight for what is his, even his wife.
