As they navigate the high seas, they encounter various obstacles, including a bag of wind from the god Aeolus (Michael J. Pollard) that blows them off course. Undeterred, Odysseus and his men escape, but not before he angers Poseidon by taunting the Cyclops Polyphemus (Reid Asato).

The journey becomes even more treacherous when Odysseus and his men find themselves trapped in a cave with the one-eyed giant Polyphemus. But thanks to Odysseus' cunning, they manage to escape, albeit with some difficulty.

Odysseus' ego gets the better of him as he boasts about defeating the Cyclops without divine intervention, angering Poseidon even further. As a result, the god makes it almost impossible for Odysseus and his men to return home to Penelope (Greta Scacchi).
