It is the 31st century.

Ulysses killed the giant Cyclops

when he rescued the children and his son Telemachus,

but the ancient Gods of Olympus are angry

and threaten a terrible revenge.

Mortals, you defy the Gods?

I sentence you to travel among unknown stars.

Until you find the Kingdom of Hades,

your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.

Ulysses, the way back to Earth has been wiped from my memory.

Father, oh father!

You are alive my son.

What a shame that you have to leave our

splendid base here at Troy Ulysses.

I know that the situation is bad on Earth.

Impatient Princes threaten the peace.

Yes Priam.

You know the conditions.

But if I don't return before the next comet streaks across the sky

my wife Penelope must choose another husband for herself.

I know Penelope. She'll devise ways for waiting.

Before you leave, let's give Telemachus his party.

What is this? What's going on?

Yes, happy birthday my son.

All our friends here in Troy want to celebrate with you.

What a super cake. Thanks father!

I promised you a surprise for your birthday, remember?

All right, go on, blow out your candles.

Uh!

Oh, ho. I'm the surprise!

Hello Telemachus.

Telemachus, let me introduce Nono.

Your own robot!

Ah, a robot for me?

That's right, a robot, all your own.

Here maybe you'd like to munch on a small bolt.

Oh wow, he's super.

Thanks father, thanks!

We are all delighted that you are pleased.

Be careful my friend, just be careful.

- Don't worry Priam. - All the same, be careful.

You can rest easy.

With Nestor and Euryclea, we couldn't be better protected.

All will be well.

Remember Ulysses, you're always welcome here.

I will never forget that Priam.

Goodbye Telemachus. Goodbye my friends.

Goodbye.

Well, are you ready?

Shirka, Euryclea is going to give you

the coordinates of our space trajectory.

Very well, Ulysses.

Shirka, trajectory 10-25.

The direct route. Photonic energy drive at maximum.

Objective: Earth.

Trajectory 10-25. Iris opening programmed.

Maximum acceleration attained.

We are leaving the orbit of Troy.

Whoa!

Odyssey crew on alert call.

Attention. Attention.

Ulysses I suggest visual display on central screen.

Why? What is it? Is something wrong?

I detect an uncharted planet across our trajectory 10-25.

That's strange.

There aren't supposed to be any planets in this zone.

I have run a total scan.

This planet is not entered in any of my memory banks.

Well then?

Shirka have you checked our space heading?

We're on 10-25.

I have already verified our position.

Very strange the Odyssey will maintain its original trajectory.

Enter this planet into file diary

and store data in main memory bank.

Data recording programmed.

The mass of vapour. It seems headed right for us.

Affirmative. Vapour will collide with the ship in 30 seconds.

Activate protection screen Shirka.

Protection screen programmed.

Stand by for landing.

Hooo-o-o-o!

Aaaah!

Look Nono. Look at that fantastic light.

It's coming at us!

Right through the screen!

- Aaaaarrrrrrghhhh! - Aarghh!

The bright vapour has just left on a trajectory

vertical to the ship's main garden.

Give me the emergency channel.

Class A alert. Standby!

Seems to have taken something with it.

Shirka, a close-up.

Telemachus! No!

No!

My son.

Another child?

Look Yumi. A human from the planet Earth.

How handsome he is.

His colour is returning. He seems to be waking up.

Oh! Uh! Huh?

Where am I? Who are you?

Please don't be afraid.

My name is Yumi.

And this is my brother Numinor.

We're from Zotra.

Some call it the white planet.

Ah, Zotra.

What's your name. Where are you from?

From planet Earth. My name is Telemachus.

So he does come from Earth.

But that's far from here.

You must be like us…

Prisoners of the Disciple of the Cyclops.

Prisoners of the Cyclops?

The creature they worship here.

It gives them light. Come and see.

There's their idol, the Cyclops.

It steals children and takes away their energy

and gives it back to its disciples. They need it.

But why?

To give them light. That's why we were stolen.

Very soon I'm afraid it'll be our turn.

But why such a sacrifice.

Why children?

I don't like it.

Without the Cyclops they'd all be blind.

Agh!

It must be an alert.

They're all being called somewhere.

Look it's our spaceship, the Odyssey.

Surely my father's in there.

If only there was a way that I could let him know that I'm here.

There is.

How Yumi?

Call out for help.

If your voice isn't strong enough

then your brain has enough power to reach him.

Go on close your eyes.

You will understand.

Think hard of the place you left.

Think of your spaceship.

Think of your father.

Think of them.

Telemachus?

I can hear his voice.

What is it?

Telemachus?

It is his voice!

He's calling me.

He is a prisoner in the Temple… of…

‥of the Disciples of Cyclops.

They're all blind.

By the great galaxy he's going to be sacrificed!

Ah!

Stand by. I have to get there.

O thou great Cyclops.

Creation of the God Poseidon, awake!

Bestow on us the light of life!

Woo-o-o-o-o-o!

Box of light, the Cyclops!

O mighty Cyclops, bestow light on us.

Give us sight!

Companions, I've located the Cyclops.

All of you stand by, I may need you.

We are ready.

- Alien ship! - Alien ship!

Remain calm. We have nothing to fear.

Strike it down Cyclops.

Show your power.

O creature of Poseidon.

No!

Not the ship!

It's too dangerous Nestor.

Maintain your distance.

Send me a research module.

I have to save Telemachus.

As you ordered.

Telemachus, my son!

Nono, find the research module.

Yes. Right away!

Telemachus!

A human, there. Seize him brothers!

He must not escape!

Great Cyclops, grant us light.

He can't hold out for long.

One against so many!

Companions, Ulysses needs us.

Everyone into action, now!

Ulysses where are you? I found the module.

Over here Nono.

Hold on tight, we'll make it.

Ah! Owww!

Ah! Ahh! Ah! Oh!

O great Cyclops, disintegrate that rubbish!

Oh, ah! Ulysses! oh!

Oh! Ah! Oh!

Galloping galaxies, it's dangerous, stop!

Nono, aim the beam directly at the Cyclops' eye.

Right, commander.

Oh!

Uh, my eye, my eye! I am blinded.

I can't see!

- Telemachus, my son. - Good old Telemachus!

Wake up!

He's only fainted.

Nono help me.

Yes, yes. Good old Telemachus!

Ah!

Yumi!

She's alive.

My little Yumi.

Go on, escape.

We'll cover you.

Nestor, companions. No, stop!

Without light from the Cyclops, they're quite harmless.

Ah, misfortune is upon us.

The great Cyclops is dead.

The revenge of the Gods will be terrible.

And you, humans.

You have taken away our Cyclops.

All of you will be destroyed as punishment.

Quick, everybody to the shuttlecraft.

Get away before the whole place blows up!

- Arghh! - Arghh!

O great God Poseidon,

If the Cyclops is truly your creation,

grant that Ulysses will never return home!

Zeus, supreme overlord of Olympus, avenge us.

Show this Earthling, that no one can defy your mighty will--

Arghhhh!

I just saw what looked like a strange face, did you?

Yes, it looked like an ancient Greek god.

A Greek god, in the 31st century?

How could such a thing be possible?

Accelerated regeneration using Iris Photonic Treatment.

Yumi…

Hurry up and get well.

Oh!

I can't make head or tail of this trajectory.

A black hole!

We're being drawn into it!

Shirka, maximum anti-attraction force.

Not possible.

The ship will shake apart.

Shirka, that's an order!

- Argh! - Argh!

Which of you is called Ulysses?

Who calls my name?

Ulysses?

I am Ulysses, why?

Why did you destroy my Cyclops?

Why did your Cyclops steal my son?

Who do you think you are to defy Poseidon?

Listen Poseidon, not even a God has the right to steal a man's son.

Miserable Earthling…

Mighty Zeus, show your power!

Ulysses, something strange is happening.

I'm losing control of the ship.

We're falling-- losing-- energy…

The Iris is going out.

Ulysses, wake up.

Enter the dominion of Olympus.

Unbelievable! It isn't possible!

We must be dreaming!

It's Olympus, right there in front of us!

A dream or nightmare, our only chance of getting away

is to go down to the Iris

and try to reactivate the energy drive.

I'll go. Courage friends!

No matter what, I have to reach the transmission generator.

Ulysses?

Ulysses, come to us.

Whoever dares to defy the will of Zeus…

‥must be punished.

Ulysses…

You'll undergo many trials before you are reunited with your loved ones

in the land of your fathers.

Now…

Come. Shatter the Wall of Galactic Ice.

Enter the universe of Olympus.

Henceforth,

Odyssey will wander among world unknown.

Until they find the Kingdom of Hades…

Their bodies will remain as lifeless as stone.

Ulysses…

‥who dare to defy the Gods of Olympus…

Now you will know full well their terrible revenge.

That's it, the Iris works again.

Nestor run a check.

Nestor?

Nestor?

Euryclea?

Where are you?

Companions?

Companions, where are you?

Companions, answer me!

Vengeance of the Gods as started.

Telemachus!

Oh!

Telemachus!

Oh father.

Alive! You're alive.

Aw!

Father, what happened.

There's nobody here.

We've entered an unknown world.

But, we'll return to Earth one day.

Have courage children.

Let's go and find our companions.

Father.

Ah!

Numinor!

My brother, why are you so still?

Numinor, tell me what's wrong.

Yumi, I promise you, we will save him.

Father, how could this have happened?

The Gods took revenge for the death of Cyclops.

They've turned all our companions to stone.

But we'll find out how to break this curse, I promise.

I will discover the Kingdom of Hades,

and the route back to Earth, I promise you.

- Don't cry Yumi. - Don't cry.

Ulysses?

Ulysses?

The route back to Earth is wiped from my memory.

The ship is now entering unknown space.

And so began, for Ulysses,

Telemachus, Yumi and Nono,

the most fantastic of all voyages

through a mysterious and secret universe ruled by hostile gods.

Lost and helpless in the strange cosmos of Olympus.
