Ulysses 31
Ulysses 31
Ulysses 31 is a sci-fi reworking of the ancient Greek and Roman tales of Odysseus or Ulysses, and famous from James Joyce's novel Ulysses. I used to think this was an amazing cartoon when I was younger, and unlike some children's cartoons, it only gets better with age.
Ulysses angers the Gods by killing the giant Cyclops. As punishment they freeze the crew of his ship and sentence him to travel the Universe until he find Hades, where upon his crew will awaken and he can return to Earth.
This series is full of action but also makes you think, especially if you have read Ulysses by James Joyce. It also happens to have one of the best theme tunes ever!

Ulysses 31's TV Theme Tune Lyrics
It is the 31st century, Ulysses killed the giant Cyclops when he rescued the children and his son Telemachus. But the ancient gods of Olympus are angry and threaten a terrible revenge...
Zeus: Mortals, you defy the Gods? I sentence you to travel among unknown stars. Until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.
Sherka: Ulysses, the way back to earth has been wiped from my memory.
Telemachus: Father, oh, Father!
Ulysses: You are alive my son.
Ulysses, Ulysses, soaring through all the galaxies, in search of Earth, flying in to the night.
Ulysses, no-one else can do the things you do.
Ulysses, like a bolt of thunder from the blue.
Ulysses, always fighting all the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all.
It's me Nono small robot you know, friend of Ulysses.
It's me Nono small robot you know, friend of Ulysses.
