Budget and Location of Film

The filming of The Odyssey will take place in Greece off the coast of Athens and in Turkey.

We are filming in these places because that is where most of his journeys took place.

The budget for the movie will be $150 Million dollars.

The Theme and the GoalEvery story needs a theme and this one has a

little bit of every thing. Including action , drama, history, romance and war.

The goal of the documentary is to educate people on the story of The Odyssey and how the Greeks viewed death. But we also want the to have “fun.”

Odysseus Visits the UnderworldOdysseus and his men were getting tired of

roaming the sea in search for their home so they went to go see Teiresias the oracle in the underworld.

When in the underworld they saw many men that had fallen at the Trojan hands of the army. It was worse for Odysseus because he saw his mother and Achilles.

Odysseus Visits the UnderworldTeiresias told Odysseus to sail past the

Siren Singers, Besides the Clashing Rocks, Beneath the lair of the horrible Scylla, and past Charybdis the bottomless whirlpool and this will send him on the path home.

When they got out of the underworld the headed for the Siren Singers.

Odysseus and his men were the first to ever visit the underworld and come back alive.

HadesHades was the God of the Underworld.In Christian theology, the term Hades refers

to the quarters of the dead or sheol (Hell), where the dead await judgment day either at peace or in torment.

Judge of the Underworld Minos the Prince was a mythical king of

Crete, son of Zeus and Europa. After his death Minos became a judge of the dead in the underworld.

Judge of the Underworld Rhadamanthus was also the son of Zeus and

Europa.Rhadamanthus ruled Crete before his brother

Minso and was driven out and when he died he was made one of the judges of the dead in the lower world He was supposed to judge the souls of Asians, Aeacus those of Europeans.

Judge of the Underworld Aeacus was the son of Zeus and Aegina.Aeacus was the mythological king of the

island of Aegina in the Saronic Gulf.After Aeacus died he became one of the three

judges in the underworld along side his brothers.

Rhadamanthus, Minos, and Aeacus in the Underworld

Homeric’s BeliefWhen a person died, their consciousness

would have left their body to enter the palace of Hades or in other words the underworld.

Once their consciousness it had left the body it only existed as a phantom image, detectable but untouchable.

Homer-

Homeric’s BeliefGradually their consciousness would became a

true soul separate from the body.The soul serving as the source of personality and

the primary instigator of life's important moral decisions.

Concerns about what happened after death made people give a rich assortment of burial rituals and commemorative practices.

Homer-

The Greeks Belief The Greeks believed that if a person were to

a die and not be buried properly then in the underworld you would be nameless and the other spirits would not speak to you.

If you are never buried the you are doomed to live in the underworld and be alone and unknown for ever.
