The Odyssey
Homer's Odyssey follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he faces divine wrath and monstrous challenges on his long voyage home. He battles the Cyclops Polyphemus, resists the song of the Sirens, and navigates between Scylla and Charybdis, and endures the wrath of Poseidon. Meanwhile, his wife Penelope fends off suitors vying for her hand and the throne. It is a timeless story of cunning, endurance, and the longing for home.
