Papernelope - Un viaggio Epico

A parody of "The Odyssey", in which Penelope, tired of waiting for Odysseus, secretly sets out to join him in her own boat and, unbeknown to him, guides him back to Ithaca. The episodes recounted are: the opening of the wineskin of the winds, the fall into a pit on the Island of Mists (the underworld?), Polyphemus, Scylla and Charybdis, and the Mermaids. Among the episodes omitted are those involving Circe, Calypso and the final slaughter of the suitors, but in general, all violent and gruesome elements are absent.
