"The Odyssey" by Homer is an ancient Greek epic composed around the 8th or 7th century BC. It follows Odysseus, king of Ithaca, on his perilous ten-year journey home after the Trojan War.

This foundational work of Western literature explores themes of homecoming, wandering, and loyalty through a tale of extraordinary adventure and perseverance.
