Voyager can be said to be a science fiction version of Homer's story of The Odyssey with Captain Janeway as a female version of Odysseus. The crew of Voyager face the same adventures that Odysseus and his crew did after the Trojan War. Many of the episodes reflect the myths of the of The Odyssey especially the one where the planet of women that capture men to drain them of life such as Ceres did to the crew in the novel.
