The Odyssey mainly centers on the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses , as he was known in Roman myths ) and his long journey home after the fall of Troy , at the end of the epic Trojan War .It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the decade long Trojan War.In his absence, it is assumed he has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors who compete for Penelope’s hand in marriage .The hero ‘s struggle to reach his home is a series of remarkable adventures in which he and his crew ( with some help from the gods ) must overcome resistance by one-eyed giants ( cyclops ) , cannibals , the witch goddess Circe , fearsome monsters , etc…and behind it all, the mighty Poseidon , lord of the sea, himself.In the English language as well as many others, the word “odyssey” has come to refer to an epic voyage. This translation of The Odyssey has been done into English prose, for easier reading. Carefully packed for shipment to the buyer. ———- The Main Human Characters : Odysseus – The Odyssey is the story of his journey home from the Trojan war.
