The Odyssey by Homer

THE ODYSSEY BY HOMER

The journey that shaped every journey after it.

The world is rediscovering The Odyssey.

From the acclaimed Greek team that brought you “The Birds” by Aristophanes.

A visionary director. An internationally acclaimed composer. A master illustrator. A distinguished dramaturg. A studio behind landmark cultural projects. Some of Greece's finest artists have joined forces on the land where the myths were born, to bring Homer home.

THE ARTISTS

Diamantis Karanastasis, director, actor & producer - creator and soul of the project. Stavros Gasparatos, internationally acclaimed composer - an original score performed on acoustic instruments. Ilias Sounas, designer & illustrator - a meticulously crafted 2D aesthetic born of ancient Greek art. Elena Triantafyllopoulou, distinguished theatrologist & dramaturg. Digital Innovation, the studio behind major successful cultural products.

Every image, every note, every word, crafted like a work of art.

THE JOURNEY

Follow Odysseus from Troy to Ithaca. Face the Cyclops. Resist the Sirens. Encounter Circe and Calypso. Descend into the Underworld. Cross seas ruled by gods, monsters, and fate. Because the greatest challenge is not to survive, it is to return home.

Listen to the story in English or Greek, as original illustrations, interactive moments, on-screen text, and music composed and performed with acoustic instruments bring Homer’s world to life.
