Odyssey

Odysseus, king of the Greek island of Ithaca, is credited by legend and the poet Homer with inventing the famous Trojan Horse, which played a decisive role in Troy's fall. After the battles end, he desires only one thing - to return home to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Yet his bold deeds have angered the gods, who make his journey home as difficult as possible.

It is for this reason that the word "odyssey" has become synonymous with a journey fraught with obstacles that push the wanderer further from their goal rather than closer to it. Odysseus faces giants, the seductive sorceress Circe, and other perils - while at home Penelope resists the suitors who seek both her hand and the entire kingdom of Ithaca.
