Description
The Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic about the challenges and hardships Odysseus faces in his rambling ten-year journey homeward after the Trojan War and in the days following his arrival on the island of Ithaka, his homeland. Depicting his own and others' social displacement after the war, and describing his successive challenges against human, natural and supernatural adversaries, the epic dramatizes his problematic process of healing from the trauma of war and his slow, arduous attempt to recover a sense of personal identity among his people, his wife, his son, and others who have longed for his return. In depicting the struggles of Odysseus, his wife Penelope, and his son Telemakhos, as well as key minor characters such as the slaves Eurykleia and Eumaios, in response to their social displacement, The Odyssey offers us literature's first full-length narrative focused on the everyday heroism of ordinary human beings in the face of implacable misfortune and adversity.
