Animated retelling of 'The Odyssey' by Homer set in the 31st century.

The story begins with Ulysses about to leave a spacestation orbiting the planet Troy to return to Earth before the next comet passes. If he is not back by then, his wife Penelope will have to remarry. The trip home turns out to be far from routine though. Early on his son Telemachus is kidnapped by worshippers of the mighty Cyclops, a creature made by the ancient god of Poseidon.

Ulysses and Telemachus' pet robot, Nono, free him and two other prisoners named Yumi and Numinor. In the process they kill the Cyclops, which angers the gods. Poseidon calls upon Zeus to punish them. Zues transfers them to the far reaches of space, deletes their databanks and tells them that their only hope of ever seeing earth again is to find the Kingdom of Hades. And here their quest begins.
