“All right then. Here's my story. Even though it plunges me into deeper grief than I feel now. But that's the way of the world, when one has been so far from home, so long away as I, roving over many cities of men, enduring many hardships.”
The Odyssey is an epic poem attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer, likely composed in the 8th century BCE. It recounts the adventures of the Greek hero Odysseus as he strives to return to his homeland of Ithaca following the fall of Troy. The narrative is divided into two main threads: Odysseus's perilous travels, where he encounters mythical creatures and divine obstacles, and the situation in Ithaca, where his wife Penelope and son Telemachus fend off suitors vying for the throne. The poem explores themes of perseverance, cunning, hospitality, and the interplay between fate and human agency. It is considered a foundational work of Western literature and a sequel to Homer's Iliad. more
