The odyssey

Homer’s epic The Odyssey follows the ten-year journey of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, as he overcomes monsters, gods, and sirens to return home from the Trojan War. While he faces these perils, his wife Penelope waits in Ithaca, holding off suitors who seek to take his place. This foundational work of Western literature highlights themes of survival, wit, and the longing for home. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
