I was told it was a modern journey of the soul through Homer's eyes. I'm not sure if Ill finish it. It doesn't really speak to me. At least yet.
Does this cartoon have any resemblance?

That's neat about the name, I never knew that. The cartoon is a futuristic, version perhaps, based on that book. It's about the journey of Ulysses and his son Telemecus, on the space ship called the Odessey. He killed the cyclops and the gods punished him by putting his crew into a sleep state, and he can't recue them until he journeys to find the kingdom of Hades.
The funny thing, is it has the Latin name of a Greek book, animated by Japan and broadcast in French, re dubbed in English.
