Akala's Odyssey

In Akala's Odyssey we follow UK Hip Hop artist and writer AKALA on a personal journey from the ruins of Delphi to the tiny Island of Ithaca as he explores the world of Homer and The Odyssey and writes a new song inspired by the ancient work. He discovers how this epic poem became the cornerstone of Western literature and how his own experiences as an artist have been impacted by a 3,000-year-old classic. He looks at how language can create national identity and how The Odyssey endures today as the inspiration for so much that followed it.
