Did Ulysses ever find the way home?

He and his companions find their way home, but before this, Ulysses has to stand a very last trial of the gods: Hades "offered" him that he and the kids may return home, but his companions had to serve as his slaves.

Ulysses refused this bargain instantly and asked the gods why do they never keep their pormises. Altough, confronted with erternal perdition, he swore never to break a given promis.
When Ulysses made this oath his body began to "freeze".

Ulysses was already making his last goodbye to his friends...

To make ist short:

The gods realesed him (or Hades on behalf of Zeus) explained that he passed all trails and is allowed to return home with all his companions. In the last secene you see the Odyssey leaving the Olymp by passing the galactic glacier.

PS: In my language Ulysses is called Odysseus, quite like his ship and the work of Homer.

From Wiki:

The Odyssey (Greek: ’Οδύσσεια, Odusseia) is one of the two major ancient Greek epic poems (the other being the Iliad), attributed to the poet Homer. The poem is commonly dated to between 800 and 600 BC. The poem is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, and concerns the events that befall the Greek hero Odysseus in his long journey back to his native land Ithaca after the fall of Troy.

It takes Odysseus ten years to return to his native land of Ithaca after 10 years of war; during his 20-year absence, his son Telemachus and his wife Penelope must deal with a group of unruly suitors who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage, since it is assumed that Odysseus has died.

and


Odysseùs Laërtiádēs (Greek: Ὀδυσσεὺς Λαερτιάδης', 'son of Laertes'), or simply Odysseus, is a character in Greek mythology, other variants: Olysseus (Ὀλυσσεύς), Oulixeus (Οὐλιξεύς), Oulixes (Οὐλίξης) known as Ulysses or Ulixes in Roman mythology

Some critics:

Ulysses 31 is one of my favourite animes(!), but some aspects could have been better. Why does all gods are evil or at least against him? Athena, one of the mightest goddess of the Olymp was his patroness. This aspect, that some gods was in favour for Ulysses, are lacking completely.

Then, Poseidon (the patrone of the cyclopse) was the nemesis of Ulysses, not Zeus. Zeus was rather neutral.
Poseidon wanted revange (Ulysses claimed the victory over Troy for the race of men, by doing so he was disavowing the involments of the gods. This shown arrogance enrage the gods and they punished him), Athena was protecting him and Zeus was a rather a kind of jugde/referee who was taking care that some rules were kept by both sides.
So Athena asked Zeus to intervene. He sent Hermes to convince Calypso to release Odysseus, and she reluctantly agreed. Odysseus left to be with his beloved wife Penelope who waited for him at home even though Calypso had promised him immortality if he stayed.

Then why Heratos instead of Terisias?! (But Atnia was a real eye candy).


Anyway, a great show.

Don't be too harsh to me over my critics, because it was the wish that Athena would have taken a part in it, just like in Homer's Odyssey.

Even the sidekick No-No was just funny and none of the other characters annoyed me. That's rare.
