Overview

The first in the epic series of war and legends Greece is in turmoil, divided by feuding kingdoms desiring wealth, power... and revenge. When Eperitus, a young exiled soldier, comes to the aid of a group of warriors in battle, little does he know what's in store. He is about to join the charismatic Odysseus, Prince of Ithaca, on a vital quest to save his homeland. Odysseus travels to Sparta to join the most famous heroes in paying suit to the sensuous Helen.
