This is not your canonical Sinbad, although there are episodes from the "Thousand and One Nights" version, such as the living island and the roc. I thought it was an interesting mix of Middle Eastern and Greek tradition, resulting in a (deliberately) hybrid "Mediterranean" setting, specifically Syracuse, which does have a certain historical verisimilitude, even if the specific combination of themes and characters likely never coexisted. My daughter Sienna tells me she liked the Greek themes - Eris, for example, and Proteus.
