The Odyssey is an epic poem traditionally attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer. It tells the story of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, who wanders for 10 years trying to get home after the Trojan War. On his journey home, he faces many challenges and obstacles including storms at sea and encounters with mythical creatures. The poem also focuses on his son Telemachus who left home in search of his long-lost father and on Odysseus’ wife Penelope who struggles to maintain their authority during his prolonged absence.
