  • The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is one of the oldest extant works of literature still widely read by modern audiences. As with the Iliad, the poem is divided into 24 books. It follows the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the Trojan War. After the war, which lasted ten years, his journey lasted for ten additional years, during which time he encountered many perils and all his crew mates were killed. In his absence, Odysseus was assumed dead, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus had to contend with a group of unruly suitors who were competing for Penelope's hand in marriage.The Odyssey was originally composed in Homeric Greek in around the 8th or 7th century BCE and, by the mid-6th century BCE, had become part of the Greek literary canon. In antiquity, Homer's authorship of the poem was not questioned, but contemporary scholarship predominantly assumes that the Iliad and the Odyssey were composed independently and that the stories formed as part of a long oral tradition. Given widespread illiteracy, the poem was performed by an aoidos or rhapsode and was more likely to be heard than read.Crucial themes in the poem include the ideas of nostos (νόστος; return), wandering, xenia (ξενία; guest-friendship), testing, and omens. Scholars still reflect on the narrative significance of certain groups in the poem, such as women and slaves, who have a more prominent role in the epic than in many other works of ancient literature. This focus is especially remarkable when contrasted with the Iliad, which centres the exploits of soldiers and kings during the Trojan War.

The Odyssey is a classic work attributed to Homer, set in the late Bronze Age, depicting the adventurous journey of Odysseus as he strives to return home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. The narrative intricately weaves flashbacks revealing past heroes and events, such as the downfall of Agamemnon, and introduces memorable figures like the Cyclops, sirens, and the goddess Athena, who assists Odysseus along the way. Unlike the Iliad, this tale explores themes of cunning, hospitality, and the multifaceted roles of characters, particularly women. Robert Fagles' translation makes it accessible and thought-provoking, offering insights into Greek culture while showcasing Odysseus' struggles and triumphs.
