Sam Raimi exploits the famous Greek tale of Ulysses on returning to Ithaca after the long ten years of bloodshed battle at siege of Troy, ours Goddess Xena and Gabrielle find out themselves in the middle a fight between Ulysses and the pirates on the beach, aftermaths Xena offers himself to aid Ulysses in your homecoming against the might Poseidon, after a bit faltering Ulysses agrees also having Gabrielle neither, the first task is taken the ship of pirates to cross the sea lurking around of Poseidon's domain, as the sirens in a island.
In the journey Gabrielle hurts to much on sea-sickness meanwhile already aware by own Poseidon over his wife Penelope was dead, thus in between the fights arouse in Ulysses a love interest in Xena, actually a mutual one, however just arriving in Ithaca Ulysses is notified that Marguerite...I mean Penelope (Rachel Blakely) still alive, then following the story Ulysses get inside the house disguise as a humble peasant, when Penelope pressed by the countless applicants to marry the widow she enforces a hard task, who got bend Ulysses's bow will get her hands for a wedding.
Well everybody already knows the story, although a neuralgic matter comes to surface allowed to us concerning a remote possibility of a sexual relationship over Xena and his closest mate Gabrielle, something stays unspoken in some dialogues upon the sudden affair of Xena and Ulysses, I shall confess that never agreed over such understanding implied by many reviewers here, now I'm puzzled indeed.
