Overview

Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, chronicles the arduous ten-year journey of the Greek hero Odysseus as he strives to return to his home in Ithaca following the Trojan War. Throughout his voyage, Odysseus encounters a pantheon of gods and goddesses, mythical beasts such as the Cyclops Polyphemus and the sorceress Circe, and perilous challenges like the Sirens' song and the whirlpool Charybdis.
