ACT I (35 min) — Opens in the aftermath of the Troy City siege. Od's private security firm has just helped the city government defeat a powerful cartel (Troy Corp, led by "Priam" and his sons). It was a ten-year urban conflict. Od and his crew of twelve should have been home in days. Instead, hubris — Od publicly humiliates Polly Femas and brags about it on social media, naming himself. Posie Drake sees it. The sea closes around Od.
ACT II (65 min) — The gauntlet. Each mythological encounter is a distinct urban set piece. The Lotus District, the Cave District (Polly), the Aeaea Shores Resort (Circle), the Harbor (Sirens), the Strait (Skyler/Carrie), and finally the Ogygia Tower (Callie). Two years pass in the Ogygia sequence. Hermy Messenger arrives with orders from the Chairman that Callie must release Od. Meanwhile Telly, guided by Thena Gray, travels across the city to find word of his father.
ACT III (50 min) — Od returns home in disguise as a vagrant, tests the loyalty of Eumy and Philly, observes the suitors' degradation of his home, watches his son grown and strong, and is almost recognized by his aged dog (who dies the moment Od is near — the Argos scene, entirely silent). The bow contest, the reckoning, the reunion.
