The epic tale of Odysseus and his ten-year journey home after the Trojan War forms one of the earliest and greatest works of Western literature. Confronted by natural and supernatural threats--ship wrecks, battles, monsters and the implacable enmity of the sea-god Poseidon -- Odysseus must test his bravery and native cunning to the full if he is to reach his homeland safely and overcome the obstacles that, even there, await him.
One of the world's most vital tales.

Homer's epic part 2 to the Illiad, the Odyssey, describes Odysseus' long journey to attempt to return home after the Trojan war. Monsters, Sirens, Sourceresses and lots of action make this one of the greatest stories in history. A must read.
