daily-dose-of-hiddles:The Odyssey. It gets me every time. Odysseus spends ten years in Troy, like everyone else. But unlike everyone else, it takes him a further ten years to get home. His resolve and determination is tested beyond the limits of imagination by the gods’ bitter twists of fate: he is tempted by the Sirens, held captive by Calypso, he is dared to sails past the six-headed monster Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis, his men are drugged and turned into pigs by a witch called Circe, and he has get past the Cyclops.

And finally father and son join forces and quell the rebellion. It’s the most romantic, epic, heroic myth of all time.- Tom Hiddleston being his usual awesome self -- source link
