“The Odyssey,” a Greek epic attributed to Homer, narrates the journey of Odysseus (also known as Ulysses) back home after the Trojan War.
Odysseus faces dangers such as the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the wrath of the gods. Meanwhile, in Ithaca, his wife Penelope contends with suitors seeking to marry her.
Ultimately, Odysseus returns in disguise and, with the help of his son Telemachus, defeats the suitors. The work explores themes of cunning, perseverance, and the longing to return home amidst obstacles.
