Odysseia by Homer

"Odysseia" by Homer is an ancient Greek epic composed around the 8th or 7th century BC. It follows Odysseus, heroic king of Ithaca, on his perilous ten-year journey home after the Trojan War. All his crewmates perish along the way. Meanwhile, his wife Penelope and son Telemachus struggle against unruly suitors who presume Odysseus dead and compete for Penelope's hand in marriage. This tale of homecoming, wandering, and testing remains one of the oldest surviving works of literature and a cornerstone of the Western canon. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
