The Odyssey

"The Odyssey" by Homer is an epic poem attributed to the ancient Greek poet, believed to have been composed in the late 8th century BC. This foundational work of Western literature chronicles the adventures of Odysseus, a clever hero whose journey home following the Trojan War is fraught with peril, delays, and divine intervention. The central narrative follows Odysseus' attempts to return to his wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, while grappling with the challenges posed by suitors in his absence.
