Journeying from Camelot to the Misty Isles, Prince Valiant and his family are shipwrecked on an island in the Mediterranean Sea – the "sea of myths." It's an apt description, as this particular island seems to be inhabited by the sirens of Greek myth.
After a miraculous grounding, Prince Valiant finds himself drawn to abandon his family and follow the lure of the sirens' song. This "female spirit," however, is not what it seems. And when at last the unearthly sirens appear, they are wielding very earthly weapons. And yet their leader claims to be Calypso of lore, capable of summoning the one-eyed giant Polyphemus and insisting that Prince Valiant is her long-lost love, Ulysses.
Escaping both Calypso and Polyphemus, Prince Valiant is reunited with his family and his friend Bukota. The shipwrecked party is soon approached by one of the "sirens," Zulfa, who offers to tell her story.
