Trivia
The game closely follows in the footsteps of Homer's description of Odysseus' travels, trials and tribulations. Like Odysseus, Heriseus (aka Heritias) visits the walls of Troy, the wind god Aeolus, the land of the drugged Lotus-eaters, the man-eating Cyclops and Laestrygonians, the sorceress Circe and her pigs, the nymph Calypso, and the god Hermes. He also descends into the Underworld, seeking out soothsayer Tiresias. Heriseus is constantly pursued by god of the sea Poseidon, and sometimes helped by the latter's adversary goddess Pallas Athena. Homer's episodes with the Sirens, and the sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis were left out, however, and Heriseus' confrontation with the petrifying Gorgon is taken from the completely different myth of Perseus.
