You can stream The Odyssey (1991) on Amazon Prime with a subscription.

After the Trojan War a legendary hero Odysseus makes his valiant voyage at sea, trying to reach the shores of his beloved home. While he and his crew are protected by the goddess Athena, the sea god Poseidon is avenging the harm done to his son, the giant Cyclops, by inflicting such wrathful enemies as Circe and Scylla upon the men.

Dreamlike animation captures the surreal, hallucinatory terror of a hero lost in a world of gods and monsters. This odyssey feels less like a history lesson and more like a fever dream of salt, magic, and ancient wrath.
