Worlds · The ancient voyage

The Odyssey

One story, retold across music, fiction, film, and an interactive journey home.

The shared source

A world older than any one medium

Homer's The Odyssey is the world beneath this cycle: a story of identity, memory, temptation, consequence, and the long struggle to return home.

Home to Ithaca is Thermopyle Lost's evolving interpretation of that journey. The album, game and songs are different entrances into the same voyage, with fiction and film able to join them as the project grows.

Images from the voyage

The sea, the wreckage, the way onward

Three visual impressions of the journey’s uncertainty and the pull toward home.

A solitary figure facing the sea beneath a luminous vortex
The threshold
A voyager at the shore beside a wrecked ship in the rain
After the storm
A voyager facing a temple and a ship beyond turbulent water
The distant shore

Home to Ithaca · Fourteen stations

Trace the long way home

The stations form the album's narrative route and a growing story archive. They are one map through the Odyssey, not the boundary of the world itself.

The cost hidden inside the victory at Troy.
