Ep. 19: Mercurius Promises Ulysses Home in Exchange for Stealing Atlas's Jewel

19

Mercurius, a resident of a bubble described as the grandson of the gods, recruits Ulysses to assist in a dangerous mission. The objective is to retrieve a specific jewel located on the forehead of the giant Atlas. Mercurius offers a compelling incentive for this task, promising that the acquisition of this artifact will grant Ulysses the ability to return home. This agreement forms the central premise of the narrative, linking the retrieval of the valuable item directly to Ulysses' desire to leave his current situation and go back to his origin.
