Grok has published a seven-minute AI-generated take on "The Odyssey," billed as "Episode 1 of our Odyssey series" and made with Grok Imagine. The clip, a creative collaboration with Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker, depicts the Greeks' arrival at Troy and names only Odysseus among its characters.

The release is a scaled-back version of what Elon Musk promised in July, when he said Grok would put out a full-length, "historically accurate" movie version of the epic before the end of 2026. Three months on, the project is framed as a series rather than a feature film, and no schedule for further episodes has been given.

TechCrunch's Anthony Ha reviewed the episode on Sunday and found individual shots that could pass for real footage, but called the whole thing airless: a long British-accented voiceover, stilted dialogue and no narrative momentum, with the reviewer checking the remaining runtime before the clip was halfway through.
