The Storyteller: Greek Myths

This imaginative series, comprised of all four episodes, features both human actors and creations from Jim Henson's Creature Shop in the retelling of classic Greek mythology. "Daedalus and Icarus": Daedalus, one of the greatest inventors of ancient Greece, and his son Icarus are betrayed by cruel King Minos and must flee for their lives. To escape Daedalus creates wings so they can fly to safety. But, will the young Icarus heed his father's instructions or will their dreams melt away? "Orpheus and Eurydice": The great musician Orpheus vows to bring back the soul of his beloved Eurydice from the depths of Hades. But the task he must complete to reunite with his love turns out to be as tortuous as the fate he will have to endure. "Perseus and the Gorgon": When the evil king threatens Perseus' mother, he must bring back the head of Medusa, whose piercing eyes will turn anyone who looks upon her to stone. Will the help of the gods be enough to aid in this seemingly impossible task? "Theseus and the Minotaur": With the help of a beautiful princess, Theseus tracks down the man-eating Minotaur - half-man, half-bull - to prove his courage and loyalty. A fight to the death ensues, and a shocking secret emerges.
