legendary places such as the cave of the Cyclops, Calypso’s island and the
Sirens’ tavern…

You are on a long journey in search of your homeland Ithaca. There your
beloved wife Penelope has been awaiting for many years for your return.

Troy has fallen by your hands but the gods are not pleased with that action.
They decided Ulysses needs to pay dearly for this mistake. In order to appease
Poseidon you will have to undergo many tests during your way home.

Fortunately not all of the gods want to see you suffer. The Goddess Athena is
on your side, and thanks to her advice you might once again be able to see the
coasts of Ithaca. But if so, new troubles awaits you…

You’ve been away for twenty years, a long time. meanwhile, the Proci have been
courting your wife Penelope with the option of marriage in order to rob you of
your throne and thereby your island dominion. In order to get the Queen’s hand
there is an archery contest to be taken: one must successfully draw back the
King’s magic bow and demonstrate his supremacy in this archery contest.

Who among the participants will succeed this test? Ulysses’ son? Telemachus?
Or you? If you are able to return in time…
