Synopsis
Ulysses defeated the Trojans by hiding his soldiers in a wooden horse inside the walls of Troy. After the battle, Ulysses begins to become too sure and powerful, so the gods and the three parties decide that he must learn humility and understanding by traveling by sea for a period of twenty years, in which he will have to overcome many trials. Waiting for the return of Ulysses, his wife Penelope spends her time weaving a canvas. After many years, three suitors, they decide that Ulysses is dead and they think to ask the hand of Penelope.
