Homer’s classic epic poem about the travels of Ulisses after his conquest of Troy is brought to the small screen. However, the gods seize the opportunity to make Odysseus and his crew a domino in their games forcing him to take detours that add years to his trip and throw him into conflict with Circe, the Cyclops, Poseidon, and ultimately to Hades itself. Meanwhile, Odysseus’ wife, Penelope, is forced to hold off suitors trying to claim his property in the thought that Odysseus has died. Nonetheless, Odysseus keeps trying to find his way back with the aid of Athena. |

Natural changes have the clans moving. Iza, medicine woman of the “Clan of the Cave Bear” finds little Ayla from the “other”’s clan – tradition would have the clan kill Ayla immediately, but Iza insists on keeping her. When the little one finds a most needed new cave, she may stay – for now. As it turns out later, she’s a bright child, but has a hard time to keep her place in a clan with different customs. She has to hide her intelligence because she’s a woman. |
