Odyssey

Odysseus was the king of the Greek island of Ithaca who, according to legend and the poet Homer, invented the famous Trojan Horse - a trick that decided the fall of Troy and ended the exhausting siege of the city.

After the battles end, Odysseus desires only one thing: to return home to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Yet his bold deeds have angered the gods, and they make his return as difficult as possible. This is why the word "odyssey" has become synonymous with a journey full of obstacles that lead the wanderer away from his goal rather than toward it.

While Odysseus defies the gods, giants, and the enchantress Circe, his wife Penelope at home resists the men who seek to seize her and the entire kingdom of Ithaca.
