''L'Odissea'' was an Italian TV miniseries broadcast on RAI (Italian state TV) in 1968 and based on Homer's ''Odyssey''. An Italian, Yugoslavian, German and French (Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française) coproduction, it was directed by Franco Rossi, Piero Schivazappa and Mario Bava; the cast included Bekim Fehmiu as Ulysses and Irene Papas as Penelope, Samson Burke as the Cyclops, as well as Barbara Bach and Gerard Herter (of ''Caltiki'' fame). There were 8 episodes. Each episode was preceded by an introduction in which poet Giuseppe Ungaretti read some verses of the original poem. The adaptation was quite faithful, apart from the absence of the passage of the strait of Messina and the encounter with Scylla and Charybdis. Special effects were designed by Mario Bava (who, in particular, directed the episode of Polyphemus) and Carlo Rambaldi. The show ran on television in Europe between 1968 and 1970, and a theatrical version was released to European theatres as well. The film was also dubbed into English. The television series, however, was dubbed into English and ran on the TVO network in Ontario, Canada in the late 1970s. ==Plot== After the Trojan War, Odysseus for last ten years is despaired in the Mediterranean Sea.
