Based off of the story of Homer铆s _Odyssey_, _Son of Ithaca_ is set on the ancient Greek island of Ithaca. 听Odysseus, hero of Greece, was called to serve in the Trojan War, leaving behind his son Telemachus. 听Now an adult, Telemachus is charged by Mentor, the goddess Athena in disguise, to go forth and rescue his father from the clutches of Poseidon. 听To this end, Telemachus receives the Athena bracelet, a magical device that can instantly summon and dismiss his father铆s sword, shield, and bow.
By chaining different combinations of horizontal, vertical, and bow attacks, Telemachus can provide up to sixteen different attacks including five powerful finishing moves. 听Players can outmaneuver or overpower the minions of Poseidon, including the vicious and deadly Mermen, the giant brutish Cyclops, and eventually the god of the seas himself.
